Monday: The 10AM Window You Need

Here’s something you should see… 

When you work with a team full of some of the best traders in the business, it doesn’t take long before someone uncovers something so simple… so repeatable… and so effective, it forces me to stop what I’m doing and pay attention. 

That’s exactly what happened when Thomas Wood showed me the Opening Bell Trade he’s been using to pull triple-digit wins out of the market before most investors have even poured their second cup of coffee. 

I’m talking about real trades that have delivered gains like: 

113% on GOOGL
240% on META
70% on CAG
37% on MCD
139% on GLD 

And here’s the part most people will never believe until they see it for themselves: 

It’s one setup.
One pattern.
One repeatable moment that appears almost every morning. 

By 10 AM, he’s done. 

Most investors spend their entire lives chasing complicated systems, expensive software, or some mythical “perfect” strategy. 

Meanwhile, the real edge – the one hiding in plain sight – has been sitting right at the market open. 

We just finished putting everything about this breakthrough into a new report called The Opening Bell Trade Guide. It explains the setup, the timing, and why this window of the trading day continues to produce outsized opportunities for regular investors. 

Right now, you can get it for free. 

But let me be blunt: we won’t keep it free forever. At some point, we may charge for it – because information like this should cost money. 

So do yourself a favor and grab your copy now, while the link still works:

If you want a real shot at generating income from the market—without gambling, guessing, or sitting in front of your screen all day – this is where you start.

Why smart money is trimming broadcom

On the surface, nothing looks wrong. 

Broadcom (AVGO) has been one of the cleanest winners in the AI buildout. Revenue is growing. Margins are holding. The stock has done exactly what you’d expect a core infrastructure name to do in this cycle. 

And yet… 

Aggregate hedge fund exposure just dropped by roughly 23.8% in the latest reporting period. 

That’s not noise. 

Here’s where it gets interesting. 

When institutional ownership falls while price holds or rises, it usually isn’t a “bearish call.” 

It’s a risk adjustment. 

Broadcom’s fundamentals are still strong. 

  • Annual revenue now tracking in the $50B+ range post-VMware integration 
  • AI-related revenue already above $10–12B annually, growing rapidly 
  • EBITDA margins sitting near 60%+, among the highest in semis 
  • Free cash flow conversion consistently above 40% of revenue

Those are elite numbers. 

This isn’t a company being sold because it’s weak. 

It’s being trimmed because expectations are no longer cheap. 

At current levels, Broadcom is trading closer to 28–32x forward earnings, depending on estimates. That multiple assumes continued AI-driven growth, stable hyperscaler demand, and clean execution on integration synergies. 

That’s a lot to hold constant. 

Slight tangent, but it matters. 

Hedge funds don’t get paid for being right long-term. 

They get paid for managing volatility along the way. 

So when you see a ~24% reduction in aggregate holdings, it often reflects something simple: 

The position worked… 

and now it’s being resized relative to risk. 

Back to Broadcom specifically. 

There are two pressures building at the same time. 

First — concentration risk. 

A meaningful portion of Broadcom’s AI revenue is tied to a small number of hyperscaler customers. That’s powerful when demand is accelerating. 

But it also means: 

  • fewer buyers drive more of the growth 
  • any slowdown hits harder 
  • pricing power becomes more sensitive 

Second — capex dependency. 

Broadcom doesn’t control demand directly. It depends on hyperscaler spending cycles. 

And those cycles are getting large. 

We’re talking about $200–300 billion annuallyacross the major players. 

That’s sustainable… until it isn’t. 

So hedge funds start asking a different question. 

Not: “Is Broadcom a winner?” 

But: “How much of that win is already priced in?” 

That’s where trimming shows up. 

You can see it in positioning behavior. 

Instead of outright selling, capital shifts: 

  • some moves upstream into foundries like TSM 
  • some rotates into equipment names like ASML 
  • some hedges through sector ETFs 

Not abandoning the theme. 

Just redistributing exposure. 

This is what late-stage momentum often looks like. 

Strong fundamentals. 

Rising price. 

Declining marginal ownership. 

It’s not bearish. 

But it is a signal. 

Because when large funds reduce exposure by 20%+, it means the easy part of the trade is likely behind. 

From here, returns depend more on: 

  • execution precision 
  • sustained demand 
  • and macro stability 

That’s a narrower path. 

So Broadcom isn’t “breaking.” 

It’s transitioning. 

From a high-conviction accumulation trade… 

to a position that needs to justify its size every quarter. 

And that’s where things tend to get more volatile. 

Not because the story changes… 

but because the expectations stop getting easier.

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
