“10% speculation allocation, 1-3 year holding period”
What to invest in currently. Where’s the value?
Oracle trades at low valuations with strong backlog and sustained AI infrastructure demand. Despite high debt and recent force majeure, the stock could appreciate 20-30% in the next 1-3 years before any potential crash.

Why I think the market is mispricing Oracle
Oracle is mispriced at 13.8x forward earnings given its $638B in contracted revenue and 97.5% GPU utilization. The company is efficiently financing data-center buildout through landlord capital, customer prepayments, and mixed capex, positioning it to capture growing global compute consumption as demand grows faster than AI infrastructure costs decline.

The AI Trade is Dead, OpenAI and Anthropic undershot the moon, pressure private equity

YOLO Oracle
Oracle has been oversold on debt concerns following earnings, but the company's strong leadership and strategic partnerships position it for recovery. The post-earnings dip and cloud fears are temporary headwinds that present a buying opportunity.

Oracle is already underwater on its ‘astonishing’ $300bn OpenAI deal
Oracle's $300 billion OpenAI deal is deeply problematic: the company must spend $80 billion annually on AI infrastructure while carrying $104 billion in existing debt, yet OpenAI can only pay $60 billion per year despite making just $13 billion in total revenue. If OpenAI loses funding or AI hype deflates, Oracle faces hundreds of billions in unpayable infrastructure costs, with credit default swaps at 2008 financial crisis levels signaling significant bankruptcy risk.
