Amazon is the single best-positioned company to benefit from the AI efficiency wave, and I have 70% of my portfolio in it.
Camillo explains his highest-conviction trade: Amazon, which he sees as the central beneficiary of AI across infrastructure (AWS/chips), digital advertising, and logistics, with a thesis that the market hasn't yet priced in the coming efficiency gains. ✦ AI generated

“What are the things you have most high conviction in right now?”
My highest conviction trade I'm like a broken record on this. It sounds so weird because it's not a small company. It's Amazon, guys. Like I I have more money in Amazon. This the most concentrated position I've had in a really long time. [...] Amazon right now is about 50% of my portfolio value. On top of that, I have options in Amazon that account for, you know, another 50%. So theoretically, I mean, yeah, if you count the the the amount that those options represent, it could be like 70% of my portfolio is Amazon right now. That's how confident I am in a trade. [...] They are a chip company, right? Their tranium, their chips alone, their tranium AI chips are generating like $50 billion of revenue this next year. They are the one of the largest infrastructure data center companies in the entire world. and their AWS platform and everything that they've constructed in cloud computing over the past 15 plus years sits at the center of this architecture uh infrastructure for AI. Okay. On top of that, Amazon is the third largest digital advertising company in the world. Okay. So as AI makes advertising meaningfully more efficient and targeted and effective and personal and rich for consumers. Amazon is at the center of that wave. Additionally, Amazon has spent 20 years building out the world's largest logistical infrastructure for the delivery of physical product to humans. an investment that no other company has even come close to making. That investment even moving the margin needle a few points is a gamecher for Amazon. So as we enter this new world of intelligence and automation and robotics, okay, Amazon already has the infrastructure as the world's largest e-commerce company, the largest logistics company to benefit massively from the increases in productivity and efficiencies that infinite free intelligence. And eventually what we're going to see is is embodied intelligence, right, with robotics, right? This is going to result in productivity and efficiency gains unlike we've ever experienced as humans. And Amazon is the number one company to benefit from all of that.

76:36honest, like the number of people that have excessive wealth in 2026 for a variety of reasons, okay, are are enormous. The number of people that fly private, the number of people that spend $3,000, $2,000 a night on hotel rooms and resorts, the number of people that are going out to dinners at these places where they're spending just wilds amount of money on a regular basis, the wealth class is huge. And I
77:04think that ultra high netw worth wealth class is probably miserable because of all these factors. And it's really hard to stay grounded. [clears throat] It's exceptionally difficult to like stay connected. And you guys know there's nothing more important in life than being deeply connected with other humans. Nothing. And this thing makes it very hard to stay deeply connected. So, it's almost like a hack not letting yourself get to
77:37that point. Like, I know it sounds crazy. There is there is a sweet spot. I think there is a sweet spot for wealth and it's different for every person and you can kind of sense when you kind of get out of the range of that sweet spot cuz you can kind of sense these things starting to happen. And there are a lot of ways to knock yourself back down. One
77:58of them is starting a foundation and just giving money into the foundation, right? It's not yours anymore. It's in the It's not yours. You give the foundation. It belongs to the foundation and you get to do good things with it. >> Also, you can take that money and like you can invest it in other things that puts it at risk. But again, it's not yours when it's invested and illquid and
78:18put at risk. So now your access to like liquidity and your access to money that you know is bankable becomes more reasonable. and like you you don't push yourself to into that stratosphere of overspending on a regular basis. >> I agree with every word you just said. Every word you just said I I totally agree with. >> So I but I think it's a topic that quite
78:40honestly not only people don't talk about but I think most people don't even think about because like your brain doesn't My brain for some reason >> well like if you don't do it appropriately it sounds kind of douchy if you talk about this stuff publicly. I mean that's like the easy like but that doesn't mean it shouldn't it's not an important I mean like it's super helpful
78:56it's just helpful to like maybe a small group of people >> there was a great blog post on this by um Julie I think Zho was her name she wrote a thing to all the folks who are about to get rich it was right before the SpaceX IPO and she was at Facebook right before Facebook had its IPO and she talked about what she observed and saw of the people who you know had been
79:13working really hard for a long time and suddenly the sort of shackles of liquidity were were off them and and now they had the money and what what did you do? And she talked about how people play that game. And and Chris, your your point on disconnection is one that she made. I'll read you a little part of it. She's she's like, um, once money can buy
