$MRVL is down over 10% following reports it's looking to acquire $LITE and combine its chip business with one of AI networking's leading optical suppliers..
But with Lumentum's laser capacity reportedly sold out through 2029 why would it even consider selling now?

Deutsche Bank estimates $NVDA GB300 GPUs can rent for up to ~$14 an hour versus just $3.50 for H100s with some contracts generating ~$60M per MW annually.
That puts 1 GW of AI compute at ~$48B in annual revenue based on blended pricing which helps explain why securing power is becoming so valuable for $NBIS, $CRWV and $SPCX.
Oh no. Bad news for the memory bulls. SK Hynix only made $62 billion dollars of profit in one quarter. For perspective, that’s about 7 years worth of Tesla profits. Or 15 years worth of PLTRs current yearly profits. Or 6 years of AMDs current yearly profits. All in one quarter. Not one year, one quarter. But it really doesn’t matter, because memory is cyclical. And cyclical money is like Monopoly money. All of these really really smart people on X taught me that cyclical money doesn’t count. The memory bears are going to teach those memory bulls a lesson. The cyclical guys are so smart. They know what’s best. $60 billion dollars of profit in one quarter doesn’t matter when it’s from selling memory stuff that is sooooooo cyclical. Oh, and BTW, SK said their HBM will be sold out until 2030. It may be longer, but they can’t see out past that. But don’t worry, memory is so cyclical that I’m sure it will peak soon. I’m so happy I follow so many smart guys that taught me about the cyclicality of memory. Good thing they were all predicting memory stocks to crash. Even the really smart guys with those charts and squiggly lines. They knew it. I can’t wait to see MU at $600 a share soon like they predict. And DRAM at $25 a share. lol. 🤡
Fuckin cyclical clowns out there. When will they figure out that this time really is different? Ai never existed during the past cycles. So, by definition, it is different. That’s ok. I hope they figure it out when MU passes $5000 a share. lol.
UPDATE: Here are the insiders who have bought the most stock in their companies in the last month, per our data.
Gamestop, $GME, CEO Ryan Cohen is on top.

Obviously please be mindful of earnings; these just happen to be some of the best trades that came in today from a flow standpoint.
$SKHY just made $63B in operating profit. In ONE quarter.
At their current pace, it takes $TSLA 87 quarters and $AMD 32 quarters to make $63B.
Market cap:
$SKHY $785B
$AMD $914B
$TSLA $1.6T
SK Hynix is worth less than half of Tesla.
What the actual fuck.
$SKHY now expects memory demand to outpace supply through 2030 with DRAM demand growing over 20% in 2027 alone.
That's also pretty significant for $MU and Samsung because producing more HBM takes up capacity for regular DRAM just as AI agents are driving demand for both.
SK Hynix plans to return about 80% of the gains from selling down its stake in Japan’s Kioxia to shareholders through a special dividend of about $12 billion, per Bloomberg.

For everyone asking, here is my full $mrna dream thesis. all was recorded on the next YT vid but for u twitter folk
The dates could be off but around these days
October 4th: I wanted to speed up my stock video challenge so decided to dip my toes into options, scrolling thru my port everyone was turbo bullish on every stock except one. $MRNA, everyone and their mother could only talk about how over valued it is and how good of a short it was. All I know in stocks is that ppl complain non stop about how they got fucked. It sounds like everyone loses, and if everyone is losing, I should just fade them and it’s a lock?
Oct 5th: I decided to buy some options, far out the money decently far out strike
That night I had a dream that Moderna cured cancer and wicked to $275 in one day, my portfolio was worth $11,000,000
October 6th: they didn’t cure cancer and the stock went down so i decided to load more in
October 8th: everyone on twitter called me the biggest idiot ever, that I should go short, this gave me turbo confidence that the stock had to go up cuz again, most ppl talk like geniuses behind their -80% all time port
At this point I’m in for $250,000 on my initial 50k position
Then I started asking Claude, “what would it take to get $MRNA to $275 in the next two months????”
Claude told me that they had a big catalyst coming some meeting on the 24th reviewing their cancer trials
I figured I’d bet on the side of my dream that they would cure cancer and it would rip
Fast forward 14 days or so and the stock had ripped like 25+% all the way to my initial dreams target and it made me think, everyone knows this meeting is coming, if this news comes in anything other than 10x expectations, it’s fully priced in. The idea was that Monday it would dump regardless of how good their news was. Claude confirmed my idea. I texted my homie Tuesday night the plan to let it ride till Friday then at close flip to full port short
Everything was according to plan until Wednesday close the stock ran up 5% then fell off a cliff last 10 mins. I was working so I couldn’t do anything but I texted my friend that was the top yesterday night.
Last night I had a dream that $mrna ripped +22% today
I thought it was a sign from God that I was wrong about the top being in and that I should trust my original swap end of market on Friday plan
I checked my phone and it was giga down. My port down 200k almost had me fully in a panic, thinking, maybe the sell on the news was so obvious…. That they are selling days before the news
I got too scared that the dump would happen so soon that I’d have no capital left to flip the port short come Friday. So I decided to take the loss and at least have $500k that I can try to catch the sell on the news dump.
Went full port short under the guise that even if today is another 5% green, at least I’ll be in the position I had been seeking for a few days, confidently short going into the 24th
And the rest, is some giga stroke of luck history, the news broke early somehow????
The most likely outcome for all traders would be what I was destined for. Rock solid thesis blown up by some unlucky bs.
Lucky my panic this morning got to my head enough to break my original game plan
In hindsight, this entire saga was beyond obvious
Thanks for playing!
NOT FINANCIAL ADVISE. IM JUST LEARNING AND GAMBLING. BUT ALSO PUT SUM RESPECT ON THE THESIS.
I got full receipts of every concept along the way, to be posted in the next yt vid. (After I full port SPY 0DTE
