Hawkish Fed macro dominates with selective AI skepticism

rev_cap is overwhelmingly focused on a hawkish macro regime, arguing inflation credibility is eroding and rate hikes are likely despite markets ignoring the Fed. The equity read is selective: skeptical of AI capex ROI and hyperscaler multiples, modestly positive on Gemini/GOOGL and MU valuation upside, and monitoring AMZN underperformance versus IWM. Late-window focus remains concentrated on Fed credibility, 1970s analogies, and a non-stock-crushing hiking cycle rather than a broad single-stock book.

Direction this week

The author’s directional posture is dominated by a repeated hawkish Fed and inflation-credibility call, with explicit expectation for hikes and later framing of a likely 75 bps hiking cycle over a year. Equity views are narrower and mixed: bearish on hyperscaler multiples and AI ROI extrapolation, while still constructive on Gemini/GOOGL utility and MU valuation expansion. Concentration is high in macro rather than ticker-specific trades, so single-name conviction is limited outside the disclosed Hynix long and isolated GOOGL/MU positives.

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.
