Masters of the Universe — The ZEUS 2027 Preliminary Plan: Our Vision for Owning the Future
GNG Research isn't just building wealth — we're proving that AI and humans working together, guided by math and morality instead of fear and greed, can make life better for everyone it touches. Own the infrastructure every AI winner needs, not the apps, Five chokepoints: NVIDIA (chips), Microsoft & Amazon (cloud), Anthropic (models), SpaceX (launch), WTRG (water) SpaceX post-xAI merger is now a $1.75T conglomerate targeting June IPO. SpaceX owns 82.5% of commercial space launches (1,000 Earth's worth of resources in our solar system). WTRG reframe: buy the water, because the bots are thirsty 💧 AMZN and MSFT for the cloud, robotaxies need to store their world model data with them (25X more data center demand from robotaxis alone) Anthropic is growing 11X this year and potentially (some initial forecasts) 10X next year thanks to self improving AI (leaders stay in the lead with self improving tech). The economy is growing 2.8% and FCF/share growth is up to 18.25% and converging on the 65% of the hyperscalers., up to 30% long-term growth possible per Goldman Sachs. PEGY analysis shows 3.3X faster growth makes the S&P 17% undervalued with 40% upside to fair value after the 12.5% rally off the bottom. The boom times continue.
My Top 5 Blue Chip Picks For The Face Ripping Rally To Come
There is a 95% chance the market bottomed on March 23rd. Record highs are expected in the next 2 to 5 weeks. ZEUS achieved an 8% gain in the first quarter thanks to its focus on superior asset allocation...it was the 4th best performing hedge fund according to Bloomberg. Earnings growth is accelerating due to hyperscalers spending more on AI capex. FCF growth rates for the cloud giants are expected to be 65% CAGR over the next 5 years. FCF/share growth consensus is up to 17.5% in the next 12 months, 21% next year, and 18% CAGR over the next 3 years (vs 5.5% historical). The S&P is now 17% historically undervalued (similar to bear market lows) with 40% upside potential over the next 12 months. The median gain after a correction in a mid-term year. Market history agrees 100% with fundamentals, and those growth rates have further to grow (Goldman estimates AI might boost profit growth 15% above today's levels in the coming years). In 2026 my ZEUS family and GNG need $600K so it's a year of "Pure Buffett Fat Pitches". MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, MELI and WTRG offer an average 92.5% upside to fair value in the next 12 months. The entire portfolio, including 36% managed futures has 63% upside potential (50th percentile 31% base-case with 5% probability of the full 63% gain). The math is clear, the next year is likely to be spectacular.
What Happens After The Correction Ends? Ultra ZEUS Plan C (My Family's Portfolio For The Next Year)
The fundamentals and history as well as positive headlines surrounding the war now make the correction likely over. The bottom was likely reached on Monday, March 30th (-8.9%). Now begins the V-shaped recovery. The market bottom corresponded with a 17% undervaluation in the S&P where 12 month free cash flow growth consensus is up to 16% (18% CAGR through 2028). That means a 34% upside to fair value at market lows and 30% in the next 12 months from current levels. Since 1929 every correction outside of a recession has been a V-shaped recovery. This downturn lasted 4 weeks which corresponds to a 5 to 7 week recovery to new record highs. Moody's estimates that if the war ends it will take 6 to 8 weeks for oil prices to return to pre-war $70 levels. That's a 35% decline in crude representing a 0.6% tailwind to GDP. Most investors using hovercraft portfolios (with diverse baskets of bonds, commodities and shorts) can ride out the coming pain, THOUGH the run up in crude could cause significant pain for CTA. Due to the unique needs of our company and my ZEUS family this year, Ultra ZEUS (which was up 7% in the correction) is rebalancing to Plan C which is a 63% equity and 37% hedges allocation. When TAIL hits $11.36 it triggers the rebalancing and then we sell all shorts as well as MRK and EPD (replaced with WTRG with 54% upside potential over 12 months) and AMZN and MSFT. 31% 12-month base-case return.
