I Just Revealed My Current Portfolio… | Anthony & John Pompliano
- Mag 7 selloff driven by inflation concerns and AI capex anxiety, not fundamental deterioration; speaker argues inflation likely peaked and capex ROI concerns overblown given strong demand for AI compute and software efficiency improvements.
- Large-cap tech valuations attractive on a six-month reset; S&P 500 profit margins up 58% since 2011, indicating durable business model improvements in the digital era; historical valuation comparisons to dot-com era misplaced.
- Portfolio construction via barbell approach: large-cap indexes (Nasdaq up ~18% annually over decade) paired with asymmetric bets; avoids mid-cap "middle ground" lacking both safety and explosive upside.
- Personal portfolio exposure: Tesla and RoboStrategy (physical AI/robotics), Ondas (drone M&A and commercialization), private software companies (Repl.it, Lovable, Micro One), and Bitcoin; theme is full-stack AI coverage across public/private and hardware/software.
- Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh making structural changes (task forces, inflation metrics revision, no forward guidance) without immediate rate cuts; speaker expects rate cut by end of 2026 if inflation continues declining, contingent on economy remaining resilient.
- Bitcoin's 10-year outlook: base case 25–30% annual returns as volatility compresses and institutional adoption solidifies; bull case sustained adoption and monetary debasement; bear case significant drawdowns possible but zero unlikely; retail sentiment weak but institutional engagement steady.
