This is EXTREMELY important.
Trump projects somewhere between 40%-60% of semiconductor/chip manufacturing will be in the US.
If we have the chips, we no longer have strategic need for Taiwan, which leads into my overall thesis that the US are removing their influence on China and Russia’s borders (Ukraine and Taiwan), and in exchange they are removing their influence from our hemisphere in places like Panama, Venezuela, Cuba, etc.
I think we are witnessing a great redrawing of the world map, and the consolidation of spheres of influences. We are witnessing the beginning of a new global system.
I think Trump, Putin, and Xi, already have a deal in place, and it’s already being carried out.
한국 어머니들은 원래 이렇게 사기캐인가요?
어머님이 WF6의 3차 파급 효과(third-order effect)에 따른 공급망 차질을 파악하셨다니 정말 놀랍습니다.
중국의 대(對)일본 텅스텐 수출 통제로 인해,
전구체 부족 및 원가 상승이 발생하여 글로벌 공급망의 25~35%가 타격을 입게 된다는 사실을 말이죠.
게다가 후성(093370)이 SK하이닉스 같은 메모리 반도체 제조사들에게 얼마나 중요한 기업인지 짚어내시고,
이 공급망에 얽힌 수많은 기업들 중에서도 시가총액 12억 달러(약 1조 6천억 원) 규모의 이 한국 기업을, 해당 병목 현상에 투자할 수 있는 가장 최적의 저평가된 투자처(exposure)로 정확히 발굴해 내시다니요?
진심으로 감탄했습니다.
Optical interconnect evolution path explained:
Pluggable → LPO → NPO → CPO → OPO
• Pluggable optics: today’s dominant architecture.
• LPO (Linear-drive Pluggable Optics): reduces power consumption by removing DSPs.
• NPO (Near-Packaged Optics): brings optics closer to the switch/XPU for lower power and latency.
• CPO (Co-Packaged Optics): integrates optics and silicon into the same package.
• OPO (On-Package Optics): the long-term destination, where optics become deeply integrated with the compute package itself.

🧠 AI MEMORY SHORTAGE (60 SEC BREAKDOWN)
We modeled supply vs demand for HBM4 = the memory every AI chip is bolted to. Only 3 companies on earth make it - $MU is one of them.
▪️Demand > supply every quarter through 2028
▪️Worst gap: late 2027 (only ~70% of orders filled)
▪️Bottleneck isn't fabs, it's stacking machines
▪️16 perfect layers per chip (1 crooked layer= trash)
📡SK hynix just panic-ordered more = the signal.
▪️Price path: $16.60 → $30+/GB. Bull: $53
▪️Buyers not bluffing: each $16.60/memory ~$29/yr AI revenue
▪️Micron at $900 looks expensive, but trades under 8x our 2028 estimate.
▪️Street EPS went $12 → $108 in a year.
The market believes the money, but it just doesn't believe it lasts - our model says it lasts through 2027, but 2028 is the fight.
🔔4 smoke alarms to get us out early:
▪️memory prices below model
▪️machine orders slowing
▪️AI revenue per GB rolling over
▪️+94% YoY industry growth peaking
Every boom funds the overbuild that ends it - our alarms are built to ring 2 quarters before the top🚀
