Yen crisis dominates while hedging AI and SpaceX volatility

YasLovesTech is concentrated on Japan macro, arguing yen weakness is a structural crisis driven by inflation, crude imports, subsidies, and inadequate BOJ/fiscal tightening. In equities, they are cautious around FOMC and triple-witching risk, added SQQQ briefly, and held AI semiconductor exposure through DRAM while watching MU earnings. SpaceX-linked leveraged products remain a high-volatility fascination, with both upside price action and explicit danger flags.

Direction this week

Conviction intensified around yen weakness late in the window, culminating in a disclosed fairly large short JPY position and repeated crisis framing. Equity posture stayed defensive: they added SQQQ ahead of FOMC, later recapped the position as stopped out, while still holding DRAM-centered AI semiconductor exposure. Concentration is highest in Japan macro and SPCX-linked volatility, with SPCX showing pump-risk due to frequent price and valuation attention.

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.
