Don't FIGHT the Fed or the bond market: Top tech investor

• Dan Niles' investing mantra: "Don't fight the Fed, don't fight the bond market, don't fight seasonality."
• His top investment pick is cash, citing high Treasury yields (money market funds yielding ~3.7%) and typical market drawdowns before mid-terms.
• Meta Platforms (META) rallied after launching its Muse Spark 1.3 API, significantly improving its competitive position in AI.
• Alphabet (GOOGL) is expected to be the next to 'leapfrog' with its new Gemini AI, potentially changing market discourse.
• Investing in Anthropic (a potential IPO) depends heavily on its valuation relative to earnings and free cash flow, especially with open-source models driving down prices.
