It's talking about taking write-offs and all of this.

I think there is more skepticism.

People want to see that all of this spending is being done in a diligent and disciplined kind of way and that this is really going to lead to some kind of pronounced return on all this investment.

Now, I think there's still a lot of support for AI related strategies overall, especially at companies like Amazon and Alphabet, which are showing a pretty direct link between all of this spending and improved performance in their cloud computing businesses.

But for someone like Meta, which doesn't have an equivalent cloud type business, the story is getting a little bit trickier for them.

People are getting a little bit more discerning.

And like you said, we did see the stock come down last week as I think people just are maybe getting a little bit of cold feet.

Yeah, certainly.

I mean, it's not purely an NVIDIA story anymore by any stretch of the imagination.

Anything that is involved in any kind of components here, I mean, we've certainly seen Broadcom, another major winner, Micron storage companies like Seagate and Western Digital.

These have been some of the biggest performers of the year.

They're a little bit less high profile, but they are certainly seeing

very strong growth inflections because they are just part of the overall ecosystem that is required to build out all these data centers, power all the data centers, do storage, memory, all the stuff that is involved with AI and having it produce the material that people are using.

It's a much bigger trade than it was a couple of years ago for sure.

Yeah, well, I think that AI is a huge productivity driver, in my opinion.

And I think that these companies are really well positioned to essentially capture that and be the platforms for, I think, growth in the economy.

And what I'm looking for going forward is like,

You know, the new use cases really come through like agentic AI, for example.

I think it's to fill this capacity.

It can't just be you and me using Chachamiti.
