Key Points

  • Market jitters from last week (AI trade strength, large equity raises by private companies, geopolitical tensions) are not indicative of a bull market in trouble.
  • Crypto's current underperformance is noted, but its long-term narrative is strong, driven by increasing need for blockchain as AI capabilities grow and Wall Street tokenization.
  • Anticipates market tension until June 12th due to the expected SpaceX IPO, but believes the market will absorb it well, with ample cash on the sidelines.
  • Recommends exposure to 'N of 1 people' like Elon Musk through companies like Tesla, highlighting the sizable addressable market for AI and data centers.

AI Summary

Tom Lee maintains a bullish outlook on the market, dismissing recent jitters as a 'false narrative' and emphasizing the strength of the AI trade and significant cash on the sidelines. He also sees a positive long-term future for crypto, viewing it as a 'downstream story of AI' despite current underperformance.
