Between oil tanker ETFs surfing geopolitical tension and hologram startups hyping quantum buzzwords, here is my verdict on what’s actually worth your attention and what’s pure noise." datetime: "2026-07-29T09:29:33.000Z" locales: - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/294182825.md) - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294182825.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/294182825.md) --- # The 'Other' Bucket of US Stocks is Pure Chaos, and Here's Why If you want to see what Wall Street's junk drawer looks like, just peek into this basket of 10 unclassified US stocks. We’ve got AI batteries, geopolitical oil tankers, leveraged ETFs, and something calling itself "quantum holographics." This is stupid and here's why. When you put these totally unrelated assets together, you get a pure distillation of greed, panic, and unabashed speculation. It’s exactly like the eve of the 1999 dot-com bubble. KULR Technology Group (KULR.US) has recently outperformed the broader market. This energy system company makes battery safety tech for AI data centers and just snagged contracts for the International Space Station and US military drones. In June 2026, CEO Michael Mo even teased selling their Bitcoin holdings. The tech sounds hardcore, but why aren't you moving faster to actual profitability? Good luck with that. MicroCloud Hologram (HOLO.US) has suffered a brutal drawdown this year. In July 2026, this holographic tech firm suddenly announced a "breakthrough" in quantum multipliers, claiming they will dump over USD 400 million into blockchain and quantum R&D. Please. A hologram firm suddenly disrupting quantum physics? Splicing together buzzwords without real revenue to back it up is a tired playbook. By contrast, Avnet (AVT.US) is refreshingly grounded, with its shares trending steadily upward recently. As an old-school global tech distributor, they posted record electronic component sales in Q3 of fiscal 2026, surging 34% year-over-year. They also declared a regular quarterly dividend of USD 0.35 in May. No quantum hallucinations here, just solid execution. Mitsui & Co. (MITSY.US) has remained remarkably resilient. The Japanese trading giant teamed up in July 2026 to propose acquiring the rest of Penske Automotive Group in a massive USD 3.9 billion deal. They also wrapped up a nearly 200 billion yen share buyback previously. In today's turbulent macro environment, traditional behemoths with cash to burn are the real safe havens. Then there's the Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF (BWET.US). This fund tracking crude tanker freight rates has surged over 600% year-to-date, acting as a direct ATM for geopolitical conflicts. With Middle East tensions boiling, this tiny ETF is surfing a massive wave. But profiting off geopolitical disaster is never permanent; once shipping normalizes, that liquidity will vanish. Caris Life Sciences (CAI.US) has been a massive disappointment, sinking over 30% year-to-date. This precision oncology firm just rolled out its Caris Detect cancer screening test in July, but Wall Street is blinded by valuation compression. If management doesn't provide clear margin visibility soon, peddling the vision of medical innovation won't stop the bleeding. As for the rest, they are a masterclass in chaos. AleAnna (ANNA.US) reported positive adjusted EBITDA for the fourth consecutive quarter in Q1 2026, proving its steady operations. But if you touch the Direxion Daily 7-10 Yr Trs Bull 3X (TYD.US), which boasts a 3.36% dividend yield but has been sliding all year, or the Corgi AAPL 2x Daily ETF (IOSX.US), you are just gambling on short-term volatility. And the Invesco Swiss Franc Trust (FXF.US) maintaining its relatively high net asset value? It’s merely a reluctant safe haven. Throwing these tickers together perfectly captures today's market. My view is simple: stick with companies like Avnet that actually generate cash, and run far away from holographic magicians claiming they will upend physics. Wall Street doesn't need any more science fiction. _This article does not constitute investment advice._ ### Related Stocks - [ANNA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ANNA.US.md) - [KULR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KULR.US.md) - [AVT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AVT.US.md) - [HOLO.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HOLO.US.md) - [MITSY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MITSY.US.md) - [CAI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CAI.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [AVT: Record sales and margin expansion set the stage for continued growth into fiscal 2027](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294969161.md) - [Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan Trust Fund Makes New $3.78 Million Investment in Avnet, Inc. $AVT](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294483846.md) - [Avnet (AVT) Stock Repriced Higher After Record Sales And EPS](https://longbridge.com/en/news/295049967.md) - [Mitsui extends employee share-based compensation plan through August 2029](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294769725.md) - [Mitsui launches share buyback of up to 60 million shares worth JPY 200 billion](https://longbridge.com/en/news/294762824.md)
