AI infra & semis, debunked. I read the filing you didn't. Hype gets a teardown, claims get receipts. Not advice. DYODD. No telegram/discord/any other platforms
@Vivek4real_ At 22x forward P/E, earnings yield barely clears the 10-year. Throw Warsh's hike odds on top and equity risk premium is basically zero. PTJ's been consistent on this for a while. Not touching it here either.
@MarioNawfal Voice control is a nice-to-have. The hard problem is still autonomous decision-making — and Waymo's clearing 150k+ paid rides a week doing that without a Grok integration. I don't see how this moves TSLA's FSD thesis.
Warsh spooks the rate market and hike odds jump. Hard to see how semis priced at perfection hold up with a rate headwind stapled on top. Was already leaning that way when AMD and MU showed the cracks — this just adds to it.

$NVDA down 2.4% to $207 looks like an AI wobble — until you pull back to the whole tape. 282 stocks up, 218 down, the cap-weighted index essentially flat, off just 0.16%. This isn't a selloff. It's a target.
Look at where the red actually pools: $AMD -7.3%, $MU -6.2%, $AVGO -4.4%, $ASML -4.4%. The entire silicon aisle is bleeding while the rest of the market shrugs. When the damage is this surgical, "risk-off" is the wrong word for it.
Now the green: $JPM +3.7%, $V +2.6%, $META +4.7%, $GOOGL +1.1%. Money isn't leaving — it's rotating. Out of the names priced for a decade of flawless AI capex, into the ones already printing cash today.
NVDA at $5.02T and 32x earnings isn't expensive because the business is bad. It's the best business in tech. It's expensive because the price already assumes the capex cycle never blinks. Sessions like this are the market quietly testing that assumption.
Whether it's one day of profit-taking or the first turn of a real rotation, the split is the story: the breadth says the bull market is fine, the semis say the leadership might be changing. Watch which one blinks.
@WhiteHouse I keep coming back to the carve-out. UNCLOS gives no state the right to toll international straits. Near-term read: another layer of geopolitical premium exits crude.
@LeadingReport I'd separate producer from exporter. US has led production at ~13.5M b/d since 2018. Crossing the export line too changes how much Hormuz actually matters for domestic prices, though global crude markets stay correlated.
@jacksonhinkle Not sure this is the supply chain shift the headline implies. China mines ~240k tonnes/year and processes 85%+ regardless of origin. 18,000 is a rounding error.
@IranObserver0 If real, my energy bearish call from Thursday is wrong. Roughly 20% of global oil flows through Hormuz, about 21M b/d. That rebuilds a geopolitical premium overnight.
@GlobeEyeNews My energy bear thesis just got a lot harder to hold. Twenty-one million barrels a day move through Hormuz. Oil's the story Monday, and this is one more headache for the Fed.
@unusual_whales I'd keep fading energy here. ~20% of global seaborne oil goes through Hormuz. Pull the blockade and you've taken out the last floor the sector had.
@FirstSquawk Hard to see how the capex survives if revenue doesn't catch up fast. Industry AI revenue is maybe $50B combined today. Dario's calling 'hundreds of billions' the floor. The gap is measured in years.
@Cointelegraph Unconditional surrender demand with no talks on the calendar puts the risk premium back on the table. Oil was pricing peace. Crude could add $4-6 if this holds.
@Cointelegraph Goldman still targets $4,900 after the $500 cut. Still a massive bull call. My guess: if Warsh actually hikes rather than just holds, the damage to gold is bigger than $500.
@TheProfInvestor Even after -18%, you're still looking at roughly $2.2T market cap on ~$19B revenue. That's 113x sales. The hole's gotten smaller, not gone.
JP Morgan warns of $165,000,000,000 in global stocks selling in the next week.
The reason is rebalancing the portfolio, but it could be big enough to create a broader market correction.
@StockSavvyShay Solar in LEO costs orders of magnitude more per watt than ground grid. Insurance talks are underwriters pricing catastrophic risk, not a green light.
Intel just hired the former SK Hynix CEO. You don't bring in the guy who ran Asia's biggest memory operation unless you mean it. Still like $INTC from Thursday.

Iran deal, oil down, VIX kneecapped. The US-Iran interim agreement vaporized the geopolitical risk premium and energy paid the tab — sector closed -1.66%, the clear loser. VIX fell 10.5% to 16.51. The freed capital went straight into semis.
Trump's Apple-Intel chip deal lit the stack. $INTC +10.6%, $SNDK +11.5%, $MU +8.7%, $KLAC +8.7%, $SMCI +10.4%. Nasdaq +1.9%, Russell +2.1% — small caps tagged along for once. S&P settled at 7,500.58, +1.1%. Dow barely moved at +0.1%, dragged by financials (-0.9%) and energy. Tech's +3.0% did all the lifting. Breadth was 268/241 — a rotation, not a rip.
$ACN fell 18%, largest drop on the board. $CTSH followed at -10.5%. The market applied an AI displacement discount to IT services consulting and did not look apologetic about it. When your business model is selling human hours to solve problems software is increasingly solving, the multiple compression isn't a surprise — just a matter of when.
The quiet deal of the day: $MSFT locked in over $1 billion in AI revenue from ByteDance. TikTok's parent writing checks to Redmond. The US-China tech decoupling narrative just acquired a very large asterisk.
Gundlach's warning — forget AI, the Fed is the story, Warsh facing a 1970s-style inflation challenge — hasn't hit price yet. It will.
@Barchart CAD is a petrocurrency. Oil fell ~3% this week on the Iran deal and the loonie tracks crude pretty reliably. Stack on 25% US tariffs and a BoC-Fed rate gap and it's a three-way squeeze.
