VICR concentration with RMBS, optical adds, and PENG exit

The author is heavily concentrated in VICR, disclosing a 25% portfolio weight and willingness to move toward 30-35%, while repeatedly tying upside to Nvidia-related Gen2 VPD adoption and shareholder-meeting operational detail. Secondary longs center on RMBS/MRDIMM and select optical names, with AAOI added despite volatility and VIAV/FPS framed patiently bullish. The only clear exit is PENG, where the author no longer owns shares but still thinks the company can do well.

Direction this week

Conviction is concentrated in VICR, with repeated adds, a 25% disclosed portfolio weight, and willingness to increase sizing to 30-35%. The week also shows constructive adds in RMBS/AMD/INTC and AAOI, while PENG is the one explicit exit despite a still-positive view. VICR concentration is the main pump-risk flag, especially given repeated Nvidia-linked upside framing.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
