I remain bullish on AI-driven growth, favoring a diversified, income-oriented portfolio to capture sustained sector upside while mitigating bubble risks. Shifts from R&D to CAPEX among hyperscalers and evolving chip utility support a durable earnings expansion, not just accounting-driven EPS growth. My core AI income sleeve blends STK, SMH, UTG, and BUI, targeting a consistent ~4.2% yield with annual rebalancing for risk control and capital appreciation.

The exchange-traded fund (ETF) vehicle continues to offer an array of options to provide access points into niche corners of the capital markets. One such area is the closed-end fund (CEF) universe.

Last month saw a significant rebound in the broader equity market, led by strong gains in the Nasdaq Composite. With that, I was a bit more hesitant to add too aggressively, as I had in the previous month when we were in a market correction. That said, there are always some opportunities somewhere, and I took advantage of what I felt were compelling values and a swap trade.
