My Game Plan For What Some Call A Fat AI Bubble

I see broadening market leadership beyond AI, with dividend growth and value stocks outperforming tech-heavy indices year-to-date. While AI-driven CapEx and margins have powered recent gains, the sustainability of high rates of change is a key risk for hyperscaler suppliers. I favor selective diversification into undervalued cyclicals, energy, and income stocks to mitigate concentration and margin normalization risks.

Watsco: Transient Headwinds, Good Long Term Opportunity

Watsco, Inc. (WSO) is rated a buy after a post-earnings pullback, with normalization post-A2L transition expected to drive recovery. Watsco's gross margin contraction is seen as transient, with mix improvement and pricing initiatives targeting medium-term margin expansion. Digital ecosystem adoption and underpenetrated high-margin parts/supplies sales provide a runway for market share gains and margin upside.
