When Tesla ($TSLA) reports on Wednesday 21 Oct, what we want to hear on Optimus is evidence that it works reliably in real jobs. We hold Tesla as a long-term physical-AI position through Optimus and Cybercab, and we keep it small. In our view, an affordable, capable Optimus could become an enormous product. Demonstrations alone do not show it is ready for sustained use in real working environments. On the call, we will be listening for: 1. Reliability in real work 2. Progress on affordability 3. Commercialization timing, which could take longer than investors expect Evidence on those three points would change our sizing. If they are proven, we could consider a weight above 2% over time.

This is a gift. $MSOS isn’t really a company, and while technically an ETF holding a basket of cannabis operators, I don’t even think of it as an index of companies. It’s a publicly traded proxy for US cannabis regulatory reform, trading near its lows. At $3.81, buying the equity is effectively buying a “perpetual regulatory option” with no fixed expiration date on any meaningful movement toward Schedule III rescheduling, banking reform, or broader federal legalization… Just the cost of waiting for Washington to do something…

@zaynchd $AEVA FMCW 4D LiDAR is the reference sensor for $NVDA Hyperion, so seems like a possible path. Again, not too much visibility into suppliers or where their CW lasers ultimately end up given how sensitive supply chain relationships are
