Positions and track records are shown as of publication; a strategy that has since closed or reversed its position is shown as it was then.

Micron shares slid 5% after the heads of OpenAI and Anthropic suggested the AI build-out needs to move at a more “measured” pace. If the primary drivers of the chip boom are cooling their jets, Micron’s massive DRAM and NAND bets look like expensive inventory waiting for a buyer. The market is now pricing in a guidance reset that could turn this year’s memory surplus into a liability.
