With macro headwinds blowing and the most critical tech earnings of the quarter just days away, let's unpack exactly what is happening and how our portfolio is beautifully navigating these currents. ๐— ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€ & ๐—ข๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด This week, we saw the $UVXI (the market's fear gauge) edge higher alongside a spike in crude $OIL, driven by renewed geopolitical stalemates and supply chain anxieties. The broader options market is currently paying a significant premium for downside protection rather than upside risk-taking. As you know, our philosophy has always been to maintain a healthy cash buffer and a cautious approach to overvaluation. This structural discipline is exactly what allows us to absorb underlying volatility without panic. It keeps our ship steady, giving us the flexibility to act on opportunities rather than reacting to fear! ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—•๐—ถ๐—ด ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ต ๐—˜๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ-๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ธ Next week is the defining moment of the quarter. Our largest portfolio pillars are stepping up to the microphone, and Wall Street is no longer rewarding AI spending on faith aloneโ€”the market is demanding proof of monetization. โ˜๏ธ ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ณ๐˜ & ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—”๐—œ ๐—ฅ๐—ข๐—œ ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜: $MSFT (Microsoft) is set to report its fiscal Q3 results. After record-breaking capital expenditures last quarter, all eyes are on the Return on Investment. We are specifically looking for Azure cloud revenue to maintain its hyper-growth and for tangible updates on enterprise Copilot adoption. ๐Ÿง  ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—น๐—ฒ & ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ ๐—”๐—œ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ: $GOOG (Alphabet) will also report next week. The momentum here is palpable; just days ago at their NEXT conference, Google Cloud unveiled new custom TPUs, calling them the "connective tissue" for the agentic AI era. With a massive percentage of their cloud customers actively deploying AI models, we are eager to see how this translates to top-line revenue. ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—”๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ Expect some turbulence next week as the market digests these massive earnings reports. However, with our high-conviction growth engines deeply rooted in the companies building the future, and our disciplined cash reserves keeping our risk strictly in check, we are positioned with absolute confidence. Have a wonderful and restful weekend! Let's get ready for a fascinating week ahead. ๐ŸŒ โ€” Olena
