TRX Reddit user proposes shorting consumer stocks and buying AI hardware names
A post on r/stocks argues that consumer and defensive stocks are in a bubble and proposes shorting SBUX, CAVA, WING, COST, WMT and AAPL while going long AI hardware names including NVDA, AMD, AVGO, AAOI, SIVE, DRAM and MU. The author asserts AI hardware trades at single-digit to low-teen P/E ratios and that data center buildouts will continue regardless of politics.
