๐Ÿ‘€Another eventful week behind us. We finished around +1.4%, outperforming both benchmarks. For context, the $SPX500 returned ~-0.1% this week, while the $NSDQ100 finished around ~+0.5%. Markets were largely flat, but the biggest IPO in history stole the entire spotlight. โš ๏ธ๐’๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐ž๐ž๐ค: ๐Ÿš€๐’๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ž๐— ๐ฐ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐›๐ฅ๐ข๐œ โ€” ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐š๐ฅ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  --> $SPCX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp) closed its debut day up ~19% - the largest IPO in history --> SpaceX is not just a rocket company. After its February 2026 merger with xAI, it now operates three segments: launch services (Falcon 9/Starship), Starlink satellite internet, and xAI (includes Grok, X (formerly Twitter), and AI compute infrastructure) --> At ~$2.1 trillion market cap, SpaceX is now the 7th largest company globally ahead of $AVGO (Broadcom Inc) (Broadcom) and just below $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR) (TSMC) ๐Ÿ“Š๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐’๐ฉ๐š๐œ๐ž๐— ๐ฆ๐ž๐š๐ง๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ž๐ฑ ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ --> $SPCX could join as early as late June/early July, the $NSDQ100 (mega-cap IPOs ranking in the top 40 by market cap can fast-track into the index within 15 trading days) --> When it does, index funds tracking the Nasdaq-100 are estimated to mechanically buy ~$7 billion of $SPCX trimming existing holdings proportionally --> Initial weight will be modest, roughly 0.5โ€“0.7%, because inclusion is based on float-adjusted market cap, and the public float is currently only ~3โ€“5% --> The $SPX500 is a different story: SpaceX won't be eligible until at least mid-2027 โ€” it posted a $4.9B net loss in 2025, failing the profitability requirement ๐Ÿค–๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐š๐ฌ๐๐š๐ช-๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ ๐จ๐ญ ๐š ๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐€๐ˆ ๐ข๐ง๐Ÿ๐ซ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐œ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ž --> Nasdaq's June quarterly rebalance added five new names effective June 22: $CRWV (CoreWeave Inc) , $NBIS (Nebius Group NV) , $ALAB (Astera Labs Inc) , $RKLB (Rocket Lab Corp) , and $TER (Teradyne Inc) --> Both CoreWeave and Nebius are Nvidia-backed AI infrastructure plays.

We are overindexing into AI/semiconductors by our $SOXX (iShares Semiconductor ETF ) and $SOXL (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF) exposures, but the shift in the broader indices into this aspect of tech will further boost this. It is OK for now, but as soon as I see some structural changes, I will consider exploring alternatives to reduce the potential overreliance on AI. โญ๏ธ๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐š๐ฅ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ž: I've recently reached the Champion milestone on eToro - grateful to everyone who has followed and trusted the portfolio.
