Over the past few weeks, I conducted a private survey among all the KOLs I know, covering all the group chats I'm in.
Contacted about 120 people, 55 gave detailed answers.
The survey period was from mid-January to early February—some positions may be outdated, please consider accordingly.
Here are the survey results 👇
🎯 Personal Core Heavyweight Positions
- Humanoid robots are the biggest opportunity of the next decade—comparable to buying Bitcoin early
- Memory shortage + AI supercycle + geopolitical supply chain → the most diversified multi-theme topic within this group
- Pure memory shortage bet, 2-year conviction (from a stock hedge fund)
- INTC + AMZN, targeting the US government/policy angle
- Big Tech → Metals core macro rotation bet
- Sandisk as a long-term stock holding
