I Put $12,000 Into Two Stocks Last Month. Here’s Why.

Two contrarian bets I'm making right now, and exactly why I made them

Most people wait until a trade is obvious before they make it. By then, the easy money is already gone.

The two positions I’m breaking down today are not obvious. I haven’t seen anyone else provide in-depth analysis on them.

One has a reputation it hasn’t fully shaken. The other is still burning cash at a rate that makes conservative investors flinch. Neither of them would show up on a screener looking for clean, safe, low-risk compounders.

I bought them because I think the market is still pricing both of these companies for what they used to be, not for what they are becoming. And in my experience, that gap between perception and reality is exactly where the real money gets made.

My Portfolio vs US Stocks

I put $8,000 into the first position and $4,000 into the second. I sized them differently because the risk profiles are different. But I have genuine conviction in both.

Before I get into the thesis, I want to set some context. If you’ve read my work on the AI transition and the four stages of where value accumulates in a technology shift, the mental framework I’m using here will feel familiar. If you haven’t, I’d recommend starting there first.
