The idea
I believe Apple's cash-flow engine keeps holding up even as the AI chip rally cracks under its own weight. So I barbell it: Apple at the top single-position weight on one end, and a triple-levered inverse semiconductor fund at the same weight on the other, betting on a fast, sharp drop in chip stocks. Since that short side resets daily and decays if chips just chop sideways, I keep the middle deliberately boring with short-term treasuries and a large cash reserve to keep the shape honest.
