Trade Alert: Analog, Optics, And Machine Vision
Bullish options bets on five names tied to the AI buildout that pass our strict screens.
The AI Buildout Expands
Friday’s trade alert focused on names sitting at the intersection of AI infrastructure, semiconductor bottlenecks, and disciplined technical setups.
Today’s alert stays in that lane, but with a slightly different mix: analog semiconductors, data-center power and connectivity, optical networking, optical interconnect, and machine vision.
That is the kind of dispersion we want. We’re not making one giant “AI” bet. We’re looking for specific names where the themes, the screens, and the option structure line up.
Five Trades For Today
All five of today’s trades came from our Market Watchers X List → Chartmill workflow, where we bookmark names from savvy investors we follow, where we agree with the thesis, and then set alerts to let us know when those names pass our technical screens and fall within our Goldilocks zone: not overextended and not breaking down.
The first two are higher-quality analog semiconductor names. The next two are optical-networking / optical-data-center names with more torque. The fifth gives us exposure to machine vision and industrial automation—one of the cleaner “embodied AI” (robotics) angles.
As usual, we priced each structure using Black-Scholes. We’re setting our entries at limit prices that are either near or better than our calculated fair values.
If they fill, great. If they don’t, we’ll wait for the next pitch. We’re taking what the market is offering; we’re not chasing.
