Tune in to @SchwabNetwork at 9:10 AM ET! I'm joining @NPetallides live to pull back the curtain on the hedged equity landscape.
The traditional rules-based space has ballooned, but too many investors don't realize these rigid strategies are fundamentally short volatility. They sell away upside momentum and leave you completely exposed during minor corrections or major breakouts. I'll be breaking down how an active, long-volatility framework flips the script—pairing equities with long VIX futures to build a systematic "buy low, sell high" engine that thrives when volatility cuts both ways.
Everyone's using the old inflation playbook.
Gov spending? Going up — not down.
Fed? Leaning toward cuts — not hikes.
$755B in private AI CapEx? Basically the entire 2009 stimulus. In one year. From private companies.
The levers that are supposed to cool inflation aren't being pulled.
And one Iran deal could flip oil prices overnight.

3/ This private-sector spend is tectonic. Instead of financial engineering, we’re seeing a fundamental re-tooling of the economy. The scale of this investment dwarfs traditional "stimulus" and creates a floor for this cycle that didn't exist in '98.
7/ How do I play this? I believe it makes sense to stay long volatility. Long vol works in up markets and down markets. In a high-velocity environment driven by massive capex and valuation resets, you want to capture the expansion in range.
8/ The Cerebras IPO marks the shift from Training (building the brain) to Inference (using the brain). The money is moving from building the road to driving on it.

1/ The Cerebras IPO isn’t just another hot deal—it’s a signal flare. Wall Street is calling it the "Netscape Moment" of 2026.
I think they’re right, but for reasons most people are missing. Here’s why the AI rally is hitting a new gear. 🧵
2/ First, let’s talk Capex. Reporters love talking about government stimulus, but the real story is underreported: the massive AI infrastructure buildout. We’re seeing the largest companies in the world stop buying back stock and start investing in themselves and America.
Most hedged equity funds offer "soft protection" that fails on the way down and caps you on the way up. We spent April proving why an open ceiling and volatility-based hedging is the better way to play market rips.
