<li>Ray Dalio actually made an art form of it: his All-Weather Portfolio spreads risk across economic scenarios like inflation, deflation, growth, and slowdowns.</li>
<li>You can improve on it by layering a simple trend filter on top. Do that, and the risk-adjusted returns get a serious boost: drawdowns shrink and the ride is smoother.</li>
<li>The traditional All-Weather Portfolio, 2x leveraged, delivered an 8.7% annual return with 13.8% volatility, and a Sharpe of 0.48. The trend-filtered version 8.2% return and a Sharpe 0.71.</li>

Semiconductor & Technology Specialist

Ingenuity

Our focus is exclusively on in-depth research & consulting in the broader semiconductor industry. We focus on the key players, namely Intel, Micron, Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung, NVIDIA, AMD, TSMC & Global Foundries - as well as some of the lesser known, but nonetheless critical, companies such as ASML (for EUV), Mellanox, Cavium, Xilinx etc. We specialise in their products, roadmaps, process technologies, competitive advantages & threats etc. We also help our clients understand the implications of new and emerging technologies, e.g. 3D X-Point, 3D NAND, Carbon Nanotubes, Autonomous Driving, Graphene, Silicon Photonics, Wafer-Level Optics, Artificial Intelligence, FPGA, GPU, ASIC etc.

<li>Maybe it’s 10, 20 years something like that. For me that’s long term. Um my prediction is that work will be optional.</li>
<li>The evidence speaks for itself uh but but but AI and humanoid robots will actually eliminate poverty and Tesla won’t be the only one that makes them.</li>
<li>There will still be constraints on power like electricity. The fundamental physics elements will still be constraints. Um but um I think at some point uh currency becomes irrelevant.</li>

Silicon valley startup Substrate made waves two weeks ago when they emerged from stealth mode to announce a revolutionary new tool they claim will rival ASML’s EUV lithography capability
Substrate simultaneously plans to build next-generation semiconductor fabs to return America to dominance in semiconductor production and will use their technology—a new form of advanced X-ray lithography—to power them.
For a three year old startup, whos CEO has zero documented experience of semiconductors or lithography, these are bold claims indeed. This should be interesting!
