FeaturedThe Return of DC: AI Is Reopening the War Edison Lost
An AI rack now eats as much power as a small factory, and the copper needed to feed it would fill the cabinet before a single GPU goes in. NVIDIA's answer is 800V direct current, and it could redesign and reprice every component from the transformer to the inductor.

I was hated when I said this $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI.US) is heading to 100 and lower. I dont hate the stock, its just technicals and this one ran too much too fast with out fundamentals backing it up. There are many such names out there still at stupid valuations. Tough to speak truth here without getting hate.
Always look at fundamentals, especially PEG, P/S and Forward P/E of your names. Don't blindly buy because someone on X said something. The same people who were bullish on $SoundHound AI(SOUN.US)'s, $Navitas Semiconductor(NVTS.US)'s, $BigBear.ai(BBAI.US)'s are not talking about them anymore. - H

I think a single dayโs movement is not a good predictor of future performance. Although it suggests the good earnings have been priced in this time, I think there is still a chance for further upside before demand exhaustion. Iโm more worried about the effect of an interest rate hike on tech stocks.
