More like 30% if you follow AI specific ETFs like AIS and CHAT
That's the whole point. Iran knows where every ship is. They allow certain vessels to sail unencumbered. The trade off is they have to turn AIS off so Iran can say "See? Only 8 ships." Everybody gets what they want. The West gets its oil, Iran is in charge, Dump claims traffic is back up. It was never about closing the strait, it was about who controls who gets through. The US lost control. Iran kicked the living shit out of Pampers Pinochet.
I'm a mega oil-bull but that site is bullshit, it only measures transits with AIS on and we know from satellite images that the vaaast majority of ships transit with AIS off. The real number is probably closer to 70-80% of normal traffic and don't get me wrong, that's still a shitload of oil missing, but 5% is apocalyptic levels of shortages that just aren't mirrored in any kind of reality.
Hearing about AIS for the first time - I will definitely take a look. Thanks for the advice.
Ahh my sweet summer child. I repeat what I said, it’s funny listening to people who don’t know anything about shipping speaking as if they know. Marine traffic only tracks via AIS which is also via satellite. If AIS is off they won’t report it or see it on marine traffic. https://support.marinetraffic.com/en/articles/9552924-why-can-t-i-see-a-vessel-on-the-live-map
Obviously. And obviously the same number of tankers aren't running through the strait with their AIS off as before the Orangeatang kicked off this stupid war for Israel.
What’s more funny is people who don’t know anything about shipping using marine traffic and acting as if they have a clue. Marine traffic only tracks vessels by AIS. A ship that doesn’t want to be tracked simply turns off its AIS which is what they are doing.
An unidentified C-130 cargo plane was seen landing at Mehrabad Airport, Tehran, with its AIS turned off Some say unfrozen money is being delivered to Iran through Turkey. It’s over boys we survived
I have been mostly wheeling ETFs like SLV, XLK, XRT, SOXQ, DRAM, AIS, IWM, COPJ etc. Some are not as liquid as you want and the premiums might not be the best but I am not exposed to any single stock name and returns have been modestly good. Lately I have been looking to increase my capita andI am thinking of moving to wheeling good quality individual stocks (non speculative) with excellent track record like an the of the MAG7 stocks. Could you please advise what would be the parameters you would look at before selecting the right stocks? Would wheeling the MAG7 stocks be considered a safe strategy?
31st Aug - 6th Sept: 83 transits 7th Sept - 13th Sept: 97 transits This is considering in both directions laden and ballast. We won't be able to tell the precise number of current crossings accurately. There's a time lag because vessels usually turn off their AIS prior and analysts need to pick them up once they're back on again in order to be able to identify a crossing.
Do yourself a favor and monitor the actual flow of oil. This is what the big quant desks are doing. It helps filter out all the noise. I track this daily using many of the same sources big players are using. Ignore the headlines and just track the flow of oil. I have a daily scheduled task setup on ChatGPT. It’s unfortunate that I even have to do this, but with a market so dialed into oil you have no choice. It can give you a sense of if the day will be bullish or bearish at least. It also helps you remove your bias. Just stick to the facts. I get a report that looks like this (it’s long but you can paste it into GPT and have it track the same things for you. “**Material update — Saudi workaround is now quantified** There is meaningful new evidence this morning. Saudi Aramco has sold about **60 million barrels from Ras Tanura for September–October loading**, specifically to move through Hormuz and then undergo ship-to-ship transfer at **Sohar, Oman**. Traders estimate this channel will average roughly **1–1.5M bpd**. The barrels are primarily headed to China, South Korea, India and Japan. That is important confirmation of the dark-shuttle system we have been tracking. Yesterday we had evidence that Saudi Arabia was *attempting* to substitute Gulf exports for lost Yanbu barrels; today we have contracted volumes and identified Asian buyers. The bad news is that this is **not remotely enough to replace Yanbu yet**. Kpler says East-West was moving about **5.5M bpd before the attack, including \~4.5M bpd exported through Yanbu**, and **no crude has loaded from Yanbu since September 11**. Kpler puts full repairs at roughly 4–6 weeks and gives only about even odds to an earlier partial bypass restoring \~2–2.5M bpd. Yesterday’s satellite finding is also now better established: **three East-West pumping stations were damaged**, versus the two initially believed, with industry sources estimating roughly **5–6 weeks for repairs**, although partial operation could return sooner. The tracker reconciliation therefore looks increasingly coherent. Vortexa’s last broad reconstruction had Hormuz crude/products near **\~8M bpd on a seven-day average**, while Kpler/dark-flow reconstruction showed Gulf crude occasionally reaching \~14M bpd on individual strong days when Yanbu and Fujairah were included. The sustained Gulf-wide industry consensus was closer to **\~15–16M bpd before the Yanbu outage**, rather than the 17–18M headline peak occasionally cited by U.S. officials. The new Saudi data does **not** justify treating 60M barrels as an additional 1–1.5M bpd on top of reconstructed Hormuz flows—the STS cargoes are largely the mechanism by which those Saudi barrels are already getting through. My current estimate remains roughly **9–11M bpd of effective Gulf/bypass supply reaching the global system**, but today’s evidence increases confidence that this level can be maintained despite almost useless visible AIS counts. The key equation has become: **\~4.5M bpd Yanbu exports lost → \~1–1.5M bpd Saudi Ras Tanura/Hormuz/Sohar replacement currently contracted → roughly 3M bpd still unreplaced.** That’s why I wouldn’t call today’s news outright bearish for oil. It is **better than yesterday for logistics**, but Saudi Arabia still hasn’t replaced most of the lost western export capacity. The strongest confirmation is downstream: Japanese refiners report supply through **November remains stable**, while the Ras Tanura/Sohar barrels have identifiable buyers across Asia. That is exactly the destination-side evidence we’ve been waiting for—the dark movements aren’t merely tankers disappearing from AIS; the oil is being contracted into Asian refinery systems. **Bottom line:** moderately positive change in the physical-flow picture. Saudi Arabia has demonstrated a functioning **\~1–1.5M-bpd Hormuz → Sohar → Asia replacement channel**, but roughly **3M bpd of the former Yanbu export stream remains uncompensated**. The next threshold I’d consider genuinely significant is either Saudi Gulf/Sohar exports pushing materially above **\~1.5M bpd**, or East-West partially restarting.”
If you have strong convictions in nuclear energy I wouldn’t worry about the expense ratio of NUKZ. URA is another to consider. If you are interested in AI/Semiconductors I like both SOXX and AIS. If I were you, I would get rid off QQQM and switch VOO for AVGE wish is an actively managed all world fund. 40% AVGE 40% SPMO 10% AIS 5% NUKZ 5% NASA Just my opinion, either way great job getting started early
Sold my AIS to realize a 100k loss and put it into CHPX for the next 30 days while I wait for the wash to finish. Just hoping SKHY doesn't blow away from MU in the meantime, I think that's the only real risk
everybody move into AIS ticker! let’s go to the moon!
I'm long AIS and QLD. Heavily leveraged. No options. I think I'll do just fine. But we'll see in a few weeks.
AIS can be be (and is) bullshited all dayyyy long, pal.
The US claimed it had a deal with Iran. Iran immediately began imposing a toll on the strait. It's not their economy - it's 20% of the global economy. And all the traffic is identified via AIS, so the traffic literally broadcasts its meta-data, which lets Iran immediately filter out their traffic from the rest. This is how Iran started selectively tolling ships and forcing them to pass through its territorial waters. Bottom line, the world already knows: Iran has the US by the nuts over this.
Help with tech., like a lot us I did really well with semi s and related infrastructure stocks this year. I took profits on AIS, MU, SMH, GLW, etc. I sold out completely from GEV and PSI. I’m still way up on these because I got in early enough. On Maxlinial, MXL , which i bought late, i am now red-underwater. I am struggling to understand which if any of these i should buy on this dip/correction? Or are people calling the trade done and getting out? What are people doing?
Hate this fucking market sometimes. I bought about 600k in CHAT and AIS literally yesterday lol Chillin cuz shares, but the timing is hilarious. Why we dumping again?
Sold off most of the AI stocks I purchased in Q2 at mostly break even, penultimate week in July, just before the recent dip. I’m still stuck with a big chunk of MRVL and AIS and hoping the market recovers in the near term so I can exit without any losses. With the Iran War, threat of continued inflation and a potential rate hike, I believe we will see a lot more downside before things turn around after the mid terms. So, my plan is to liquidate all recent stock purchases asap and hold cash to deploy. Of course I understand that this may not shake out as I think it will but it’s always good to have a plan.
I like AIS it uses the themes of all those etfs into one package.
tell that to my CHPS and AIS I bought at the beginning of last month
BREAKING: Iran has just struck 2 "hostile" targets in the Strait of Hormuz, with the likely targets being the oil tankers NISSOS KEA and NISSOS KEROS that were transiting via the southern Omani US-backed corridor under US escort and AIS switched off in the past hour, per Tasnim.
AIS has gone from 90 to 60, when do you define AI first companies as folding? Just sounds like a great way to short the hole but ok
Because oil production and escorts need to be ramped up. Did you even read my comment. They dont always turn them on after exiting the strait of hormuz. You are just assuming that. Many keep them off for much longer. >Reuters also repeatedly noted that many vessels were switching off public AIS transponders or that AIS/satellite tracking had become unreliable, making it impossible to count all transits from publicly visible tracking alone.
Looks like AIS still hold the Korean shares of SK Hynix
I sold about 500k of smh last week… And after a full 1 day of red I jumped back into AIS with it lol. Genius play. Now I sold that at a loss this morning. So now it should rebound for you guys. \-55k lol
Definitely not. They are only in the same sector (technology), but SMH focuses on semi’s and AIS focuses on AI bottlenecks basically. It’s weighted for SK Hynix and Micron right now when SMH is still like 17% in Nvidia (AIS is like 3%)
Sold about 500k in SMH yesterday and put it into AIS. Hopefully won’t regret in a few years
We don't know and we have no way of knowing. There's a host of internet experts who know about AIS but not that it has an off switch. Journalists seem to have given up being there and seeing stuff in favour of recycling al jaz and telegram.
Does this account for ships turning their AIS off though
Go with AIS and get a variety of AI stocks since you’re into SKHY
Check out the TCAI, AIS, AIPO, POW, AIRR and similar ETFs both as investment options and to discover the stocks held by each.
That was not financial advice, but I wish you many good returns. I’ve got a bit in AIS that I’m hoping pays off on Friday morning.
DRAM and AIS ETFs both hold SK Hynix.
Chatgpt will agree with anything the user says. I told multiple AIS before I bought my soxl to research and they all said the semis are bound to keep going up on great er. It tanked even after Mu came out with great er. AI will lie to your face and when everything is gone and it tanks to zero it'll say...you should've sold
I'm paying VFMO and AIS to do it for me. I only watch for unwind and to trim.
Being in the maritime industry that number is under estimated. Look at AIS data for just vessels, globally. https://www.marinetraffic.com/
Guys I want to overexpose myself even more to tech because im a fomo chasing retard. My portfolio is currently mostly SPMO and FTEC, with 20% split between NBIS/AIS/MU/SOXL/SNDK. What do I need to do with my remaining cash to "diversify" myself in more tech stocks?
Everything you picked kinda sucks. Why don’t you try AIS or SPMO
Is DRAM ETF and AIS ETF too much overlap to own both?
I was in Chat for a while, check out AIS if you ever want an AI buildout ETF with no software really
I'm aggressive so if I was wanting to be less involved I'd probably go 50/50 AIS and PTF. (AI & Technology momentum) If I wanted to be more involved I'd people bet on individual stocks since you don't pay taxes in the IRA until you withdraw.
Some retard gonna check MarineTraffic and share their misunderstanding of AIS with you, but it ain't me bro
Dark fleet / AIS off traffic is reportedly okay
My “fun” money is in health and tech ETFs: WQTM Quantum LFSC Biotech AIS AI BAI AI
Thanks for the recommendations. I'm in VGT for the year, will check SOXX and AIS in particular. Why not skip international for the year? It's very volatile with Iran and the US.
I maintain a watchlist of about 20-25 stocks which I like to buy more. I usually wait until the specific stock has a dip in price and get a good entry point. Swap out my lowest price momentum stock for the better stock. I use a stock screener to sort out the stocks based on fundamentals, PE ratio, earning growth, 20 day moving price and price momentum. I currently own about 20 stocks and 5 ETFs, You can get more diversity by adding ETFs investment outside the VOO and also focus on specific sectors for higher returns with some additional risk. You can expand your ETF mix beyond VOO to get a higher return with some more risk. The stocks that I currently own have had a recent high run up in price and I'm at the point of cashing out of some of the stocks to capture profit before market down-turn. **Take a look at theses ETfs with 3 year total returns:** 1. SOXX- 3 year total return 2611%- semi-conductors 2. AIS- 1 year total return 101% -Ai stocks 3. QQQM-3 year total return 102%- Nasdaq index fund 4. VXUS 3 year total return 51% International stocks outside USA 5. EEM 3 year total return 69% Emerging Markets outside USA Good luck.
Just buy AIS + POW. Then. Nobody can buy all those stocks you listed. If they do... they are
I hold both but AIS is a lot more diversified, so less risk for likely less returns.
What do we think about combining my AIS and DRAM position? Only have $1k in each

\> I'm trying to cover the components that are necessary for AI growth, \> Am I missing any big opportunities here that fit what I'm going for, Then look at ETFs rather than individual stocks. Take a look at AIS, DRAM, TCAI, EUV, FOTO, AIPO, CHAT, SMH, etc.
Look at the stocks held by the TCAI, AIPO, AIS and POW etfs. Look at the companies included and their competitors and you'll see all the infrastructure areas.
I invest in an array of individual stocks following the market trends (space, data, AI, quantum, etc) and mostly steering towards more established players (RKLB, ASTS, PL, NBIS, MU, APLD, QBTS, LUNR, APPL etc) leaving 20% for smaller caps/LATAM stocks or funds/riskier or options plays. I'm also in DRAM and AIS. no meme shit. I'm up 20% over the past 3 months, 60% over the past 2 years. which feels good for me.
A ship labelling itself "IRGC TOLL COLLECTOR" is visible on AIS operating near Bandar-e-Jask in the Strait of Hormuz beast mode
I bought a small position in AIS about a month ago and am up 40% so far. I hadn't heard of DRAM at that point, but I wouldn't have picked that as my play even if I had given how few tickers it holds and how heavily weighted the top 3 are. The AIS ETF I decided on holds most of the same things in DRAM, but at lower weights, to make room for other AI-related tickers - [https://stockanalysis.com/etf/compare/psi-vs-tcai-vs-pow-vs-aipo-vs-ais-vs-bai-vs-dram/](https://stockanalysis.com/etf/compare/psi-vs-tcai-vs-pow-vs-aipo-vs-ais-vs-bai-vs-dram/) \-
Here's a list of ones I'm currently invested in: AIS, WQTM, CIBR, PTF, FMTM, MARS, PSI, HUMN, KOID
Consider AIS it's the picks and shovels. Nvidia is just 3% and ranked 13th. Top 3 are sky hynyx, micron, vertiv
Yeah, I'm holding, but I'm rethinking that. I could put my money into other stocks and maybe some of these new ETFs like DRAM, NASA, and AIS. I think this one's run up well and is going to do well in the long run, but there are better movers at the moment. On the photonic side, I'm long LPKF, but only for a small position, because it's going to take a while before it runs. MUU and SOXL are my main plays.
That's a good point. What are your thoughts on AIS?
You are welcome. Most of its recent performance is due to Samsung, SK Hynix, TSM, and LTM. I have some extra exposure to those in one of my new/recent smaller satellite holdings of AIS for extra AI/Memory exposure.
It's good to have layers of volatility by the time you retire especially because it really sucks selling QQQM compared to SPYM during a recession. Buy SPYM and/or QQQM from now on. Cheaper than SPY and QQQ. There are always better performing etfs. QQQM < SPMO < VGT < FMTM < SMH < AIS < DRAM < etc. The difficult part when performance chasing is knowing when too much is too much. You're not going to ruin yourself selling a little of SPY over time to put into QQQM but definitely plan out the taxes before selling. If a SPY share has a short term gain, don't sell it. If a SPY share has a long term gain, that's more reasonable. Taxless accounts are simply amazing for these kinds of rebalancing.
Buy DRAM NASA AIS PSI
AIS…unless you want to not make money
Might just full port my Roth into RKLB if I get stopped out on AIS/POW/DRAM overnight/on the open.
Now, maybe I'm regarded. Actually there's no maybe, I am. But this is the one stock I'm currently willing to hold buy and hold long term, without selling, that I really believe in. I do Boglehead/Ben Felix-style global total market and factor shit with 90% of my portfolio. Even the SOXL/KORU/DRAM/AIS I got going on in a side account is a temporary play that I think will exhaust itself by the end of 2028, if not sooner. But I've started building an RKLB position to I'm adding to when I can, and I'm going to keep doing it for the next 20 years when the opportunity presents itself. I only wish I'd started doing it when it was $20 instead of $70. (I've also got some NASA too, just so I've got a position in the rest of space, plus a Jan 2028 LUNR leap I'm hoping will print into a 5 or 10 bagger)
Preparation for one, yes but also just future US defense architecture. OPTT would be providing the maritime energy and sensor layers required to detect threats over open water. I think about, Patroling and ID of sea skimming cruise missiles, offshore power and relays for sensors and of course autonomous docking and charging. Why not provide that as a resource to other drones for defense? Most threats (smugglers, spy vessels, or semi submersibles) turn off their Automatic Identification System. With OPTT tech, when a vessel is visible on radar but isn't broadcasting an AIS signal, the system flags it as a "dark target" and automatically dispatches a drone for filming. Imagine how this can be used for active defense and patrol with or without munitions.
I chose AIS over DRAM about 3 weeks ago. I didn't like the top 3 weighting in DRAM, and I get exposure to the same 3 with lighter weights in AIS.
I started a tiny position in NASA today. I typically run a Core beta + Factor satellite portfolio, but I recently added some thematic plays with AIS and AIRR, so I decided to bring this into the mix to see how it goes.

AnOther Korea ETF with big SK Hynix and Samsung exposure, is $FKLR, which is almost the same as $EWY, just cheaper. They both hold about the same amount — a lot, over 40-percent of the fund. And an ETF that isn’t dirt cheap but has been totally worth it for me so far is $AIS. It owns all the right AI infrastructure names you want in an ETF but can’t find. It’s actively managed
But damn it's a good direction right now. I'm super overweight in stocks, pretty much all in tech, esp hardware. I was scared how much it was rallying, but finally bought in last month: MU +28.13% DRAM +6.55% SNDK +34.22% AMZN +0.52% (1 day) AIS +9.64% AVGO +1.31% GOOGL+12.68% BE +1.06% (1 day) RVI +32.50% These are ridiculous returns over 1 month. Risky? Kind of, but I just have trailing stop loss orders for above what I paid in that I adjust to a higher stop price as they keep climbing. My index funds are all below 3% for the same period of time.
From Twitter “Following renewed Iranian attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a significant automatic identification system (AIS) spoofing operation began shortly after 1500UTC yesterday.” So if you had a script looking to look at ships passing a point; that tradable data is probably corrupt now. FYI. It looks like competent spoofing so my guess is they want people to physically spot the ships to fire upon for more complicated command and control on the Iran side. https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2051476970215510287
Honestly just the same reason that AIS is so good for the AI/Memory/Compute Infrastructure side, POW is good for the Power Infrastructure side. They use the same "picks and shovels" approach and after researching their holdings and balances I'm impressed with the bucket they've put together. There's only \~3 holdings that overlap between AIS and POW so they compliment each other well. I also like that both funds aren't just overweight in the normal megacap players which we all own a ton of in a normal VOO type fund. AIS/POW are really hitting the "long tail" companies well I think.
This section of the article drew my attention of the tools that the commodity hedge funds utilize, in contrast to the typical retail traders: > You should not day-trade the weekly EIA report, because the pros you are trading against do not wait for the government to publish a PDF on Wednesday mornings. > Commodity hedge funds buy Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite data from firms like Ursa Space Systems, ICEYE, and Capella Space to scan storage tanks globally in real-time. Because the roofs of those tanks float on the oil, satellites bounce radar off the metal, and algorithms process the reflection to calculate the exact depth, even through clouds, fog, and darkness. They pay alternative data firms like Kayrros and Wood Mackenzie to monitor the infrared satellite signatures of global refineries, knowing the exact minute a coker goes offline. And they pay firms like Kpler and Vortexa to scrape AIS maritime transponder data of tankers, knowing exactly how much oil is on the water and where it is headed. > By the time you open the EIA report and calculate the 3-2-1 Crack Spread, a server in New Jersey has already read the data, executed the trade, and gone back to sleep.
can you tell me why you like POW? I love their sister fund AIS.
Thoughts on QQQ vs. AIS (more semi/memory/hardware) in this market?
The EIA-API gap is mostly survey methodology -- EIA is mandatory with broader facility coverage, API is voluntary with a smaller sample. They usually converge within a million barrels but weeks with big inventory swings widen it. The bigger distortion right now is SPR releases. DOE authorized 172M barrels starting in March and those barrels flow into Gulf Coast commercial storage -- they show up as a commercial build in the EIA headline, masking the underlying draw. A few people in this thread already flagged that. Then there's the physical market: Bloomberg reported at least two Iranian VLCCs -- Hero II and Hedy -- went AIS-dark and tried to move crude past the blockade line around April 20, part of a flotilla they described as carrying roughly 9M barrels. Whether the blockade catches them all or not, the headline inventory numbers are a poor proxy for what's actually happening to available supply. That's the disconnect you've been pointing at.
https://news.usni.org/category/fleet-tracker This is the best way to see status of the Carrier Strike Groups and Amphibious Readiness Groups without using AIS (ship tracking, which they probably don’t have) or disclosing classified information.
#TLDR --- **Ticker:** USO / CL (Crude Oil) **Direction:** Up **Prognosis:** Buy USO Calls / Go Long Oil **Catalyst:** High-stakes geopolitical hide-and-seek **Iranian Navy Status:** Blown up; currently managing blockades with civilian rowboats **Summary:** The U.S. is flying a massive, continuous military supply train into the Middle East while effectively choking off the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has been trying to smuggle oil out by turning off ship transponders (AIS) and hugging the coastlines of Iran and Pakistan, but the U.S. has figured out their routes and is actively seizing their ghost ships in international waters. Less oil is making it out of the Persian Gulf than the world realizes, leading to a shortage that the market is currently under-pricing.
What do you think about TCAI? That's what I've paired with AIS.
AIS + POW is the best full exposure “picks and shovels” AI plays that I’ve found. Especially since people are already over exposed to Nvidia through just about any broad market ETF.
[AIS info from Marinetraffic.com](https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:657791) Here's a link to the ship. It's a 5000 TEU container ship. It was not transiting the straight (at least not yet) It went from making 18 knots to drifting before AIS was shut off about 9 hours ago.
The AIS for the ship did show it tried to break through, then stopped and turned around. Agenda free tv on yt has it on screen.
AIS data, port data, rig count and production data, storage data, watching bombs drop live on tv when dummies are also on tv saying there’s a ceasefire but there isn’t. Not rocket science.
