$Micron Technology(MU)$ I get the feeling the US government is about to take a stake in this critical piece of AI, which maybe why the President is courting Micron.
Yeah nah, I am long on Nvidia. It has way too much AI useful IP. At a fundamental level it ultimately comes down to moving and organising groups of electrons as fast as possible without overheating the chip. This requires hardware and Nvidia has cut its teeth for 3 decades with GPU's with very hardware intensive end use in gaming, similar to AI. That is why I am long on Nvidia.
If Nvidia is years ahead then as long as they lead the R&D of the hardware, they can re-enter China with new products in the future when the political situation is more favorable. This could also be one of the cards President Trump holds for his future trade negotiations.
Great informative article. China is good at playing the long game and their political structures suit a long game. Where as Trump only has 2 or 4 years depending on mid term elections. Did he need to impose tarrifs on China, he did need to show that he means business, so I guess he talked himself into it.

As I said in a post earlier today. Fed Chair Powell is doing his job holding the line from the weekly Presidential gaslighting. Mr Too Late, a Stiff is good for the dollar from an international investor perspective. If Trump reappoints him, it would strengthen the dollar further.

yeah XOM may benefit downstream along with other US oils but up front it is CVN//@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟It is still too early to tell what will happen to Venezuela but I believe that $Chevron(CVX)$ is uniquely positioned to benefit from the current US military action and potential change in Venezuela government. This is due to its long standing presence and existing joint ventures in Venezuela. Other US companies like $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ have already left Venezuela a long time ago after its nationalisation. Chevron is the only US company with active oil operations in the country. @Tiger_comments

Probably go Amazon. It has a job to do in all weathers.
@koolgal:Market At The Bottom? Which Mag 7 is the Best Buy Now? 🌟🌟🌟The bottom is never a place we can see clearly while standing in it. It is only obvious in hindsight when everyone suddenly becomes a genius. Is this a good time to buy? Sentiment is fragile - that is when bargains appear. When fear is elevated, volatility spikes and everyone is waiting for confirmation, the best prices often slip by unnoticed. You don't need to catch the exact bottom. You just need to buy great companies at fair or discounted prices. Take for example the Magnificent 7. They seem to have lost their magnificence. Which Mag 7 is the Best Buy Now? $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ is the Dark Horse of 2026. Why it is the no. 1 bargain: Tradin
It is important that the Fed stays neutral, even if The President did call the chair a stiff. Without this strong neutrality the dollar's credibility will diminish. I am happy that Fed Chair Powell is holding the line, despite the Presidential gaslighting.
