Making A Fortune In Artificial Intelligence
Please click here for a chart of Super Micro Computer stock (SMCI).
Note the following:
- The Morning Capsule is about the big picture, not an individual stock. The chart of SMCI stock is being used to illustrate the point.
- Super Micro has been the most favorite artificial intelligence stock of the momo crowd. The chart shows the big drop in the stock on earnings released after the market closed.
- The chart shows a 40.5% drop since the high in March.
- RSI shown on the chart foretold what was to come.
- The momo crowd, including momo gurus, that ran up the stock did not really understand the server business.
- SMCI presents an important learning moment for prudent investors. These are four important points here:
- What you do not buy is as important as what you buy.
- A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
- The momo crowd’s history is that they make money because they run up stocks with their own buying. Subsequently, the momo crowd loses money when smart money sells into the strength. Often, the momo crowd loses more money than they make, resulting in a net loss.
- Follow smart money for investments. Selectively follow the momo crowd for very short term trades when there is a Signal or Signal Limited.
- As a member of The Arora Report, you already knew in advance what was to come. On March 4, right near the top of SMCI stock, we wrote in the Morning Capsule:
-
SMCI has become a favorite of the momo crowd. The momo crowd incorrectly thinks SMCI has the same potential as Nvidia (NVDA). Investors need to keep in mind the following:
-
SMCI moves a lot more than NVDA. SMCI is so volatile because of the small float.
-
SMCI is an assembler of servers for artificial intelligence. It uses components from NVDA, Micron (MU), and Marvell (MRVL).
-
NVDA has a large moat to protect it that includes IP for its GPUs. SMCI has no moat and the barrier to entry for competitors is low.
-
SMCI sales are to hyperscalers like Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), and Google (GOOG). The reason SMCI sales are booming is that they have availability of NVDA chips. As chips become more available to competitors, SMCI will not be able to sustain its sales growth rate.
-
The momo crowd is buying SMCI due to lack of knowledge. However, there are many investors who understand and have the knowledge of SMCI’s business. Many such investors are short selling SMCI. For the time being, short sellers are being overwhelmed by the YOLO crowd.
-
Taking all of the above into consideration with the quantitative analysis screen of the ZYX Change Method, in an optimistic case, the fair value of SMCI stock is $442 – $486.
-
- You may recall that The Arora Report was the first one to identify that artificial intelligence was real in 2022. At that time, momo gurus were selling AI stocks, providing an opportunity for members of The Arora Report to buy AI stocks near the lows resulting in big gains. For example, members of The Arora Report bought Nvidia stock (NVDA) at an average of $125.51, just before the run up started. As a reference, NVDA stock is trading at $850.58 as of this writing in the premarket.
- A fortune is to be made in AI between now and 2030. SMCI shows that at times it will be treacherous. You need expert guidance, which we provide in the Real Time Feeds. Equally important is building your knowledge of investments in AI. The easiest way is to listen to the podcasts in Arora Ambassador Club.

- FOMC will release its decision at 2pm ET today. FOMC is expected to keep interest rates unchanged. The key event is Powell’s conference. The data shows that professional traders are expecting higher volatility during Powell’s conference than at any other point over the last year.
- In The Arora Report analysis, the near term direction of the stock market will come down to if objective Powell shows up or if political Powell shows up.
- If objective Powell shows up, expect the stock market to go down. The reason is that the stock market is still levitating on hopium and not paying attention to the data.
- If political Powell shows up, expect a rip roaring rally.
- We previously shared with you that prudent investors should pay attention to the Treasury refunding plan.
- The Treasury plans to borrow $243B in the April to June quarter vs. $202B estimate.
- The Treasury has just released the composition of the borrowing.
- In The Arora Report analysis, the composition is more important than the increased amount of borrowing. Last time, the Treasury manipulated the borrowing to make stock and bond markets run higher. We will be carefully analyzing the just released new data.
- ADP is the largest private payroll processor in the country. It uses its data to give a glimpse of the jobs picture in advance of the official jobs report that will be released on Friday at 8:30am ET. ADP employment change came at 192K vs. 175K consensus. This indicates that the jobs picture is staying very strong. In The Arora Report analysis, the strength is at the low end while the job picture remains weak in IT and finance.
- As an actionable item, the sum total of the foregoing is in the protection band, which strikes the optimum balance between various crosscurrents. Please scroll down to see the protection band.

Protection Band And What To Do Now
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider holding *** in cash or Treasury bills or allocated to short-term tactical trades; and short to medium-term hedges of ***, and short term hedges of ***. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges. The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive. If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash. When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks. High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
Traditional 60/40 Portfolio
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of seven year duration or less. Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
