Episode notes
Gary's Tesla Drove To Walmart And Recognized Produce
- Gary describes a recent personal Tesla experience where full self-driving improved quickly: the car drove him to Walmart and AI recognized produce at self-checkout.
- He uses this to show rapid iteration in on-device AI features and changing user experiences within months.
Trim Into Earnings And Use Technical Signals
- Trim winners around uncertain catalysts and reallocate when market cap limits further upside, as Gary sold half his NVIDIA ahead of earnings despite long-term conviction.
- Use technical tools like TrendSpider Sidekick to time trims and protect gains rather than relying only on fundamentals.
Memory Shortage Is The Near-Term AI Bottleneck
- Memory is the current bottleneck for AI and pricing shows it: consumer SanDisk card prices doubled on Amazon in 90 days.
- Gary used TrendSpider Sidekick to flag specific buy zones for Seagate, Western Digital, SanDisk and Micron in early February.
