At a glance
- Markets can get noisy fast. Options expiry and low liquidity can distort price action, so I prefer to let the charts guide me and use stop loss orders when direction is unclear.
- Rotation is real. Leadership has been patchy, with tech struggling while materials and small caps have shown relative strength.
- The framework for 2026. I focus on seven long run themes and ignore the rest because there is more than enough opportunity inside the strongest tailwinds.
- The filter that matters. Fundamentals matter, but I want momentum too, plus clarity of purpose and timeframe before I act.
What you’ll learn
- The seven mega trends I believe can shape opportunity sets through 2026 and beyond
- How money flow typically moves within a theme, from leaders to the next tier

The thinking shift
The goal is not to predict every twist and turn. The goal is to narrow your focus to the strongest tailwinds, then use price action to time decisions and manage risk. When the market is uncertain, I would rather use clear rules than make emotional calls.
What history shows
Long run trends tend to play out in waves. Even in strong themes, you can see sharp pullbacks and periods of consolidation. That is normal. What matters is whether the broader trend remains intact, and whether the best stocks in the theme keep attracting money flow.
Where I’m focused now
These are the seven themes I am focused on going into 2026:
- Precious metals (producers and developers)
- Critical metals (including copper, rare earths, antimony and lithium)
- AI technology (more breadth in the US, selectivity locally)
- Energy transition (with an emphasis on picks and shovels enablers)
- Industrial technology
- Medical technology
- Defence spending
From there, the job is process: qualified watchlists for each theme, continuous research, and daily monitoring for entries and exits.
