Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

I mean, as of the most recent announcement, which was I think a week ago maybe, there's something like $44, $45 billion of revenue annualized.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

In April, I think they, I can't even remember, they were at $30 billion or something.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And in like January, they were at $14 billion.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And in December, they were at $9 billion.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And a year ago, they were, I don't know, $1 billion, maybe even less.

Prof G Markets

So, I mean, and this is probably a good example of an application where customers are absolutely willing to pay for it and their revenues have gone vertical.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

Right.

Prof G Markets

So the question of whether or not we need to keep building all this data center, either not as much or much more comes down to how much computer we all going to use, like how many tokens are people going to use?

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And I don't know the answer yet, but right now it's going literally vertical.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

So like that is something I guess we'll have to see as we go forward.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

But as of right now, the only thing we're hearing from any of these folks is that they don't have enough compute.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

Like I said, semis and AI spending in general are kind of driving almost everything in the industry, kind of everything in the economy right now.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And it's understandable because right now you're building out the infrastructure and these are key components of the infrastructure.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And I think you can look at the returns we've seen so far.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And again, the question is, is it sustainable?

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

If it's sustainable, I don't think that the performance that we've seen at this point has been crazy yet.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

And you can decide where you want to play if you're in semis.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

Again, we've liked the accelerator names, the NVIDIAs and the Broadcoms of the world.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

I'd like Semicap, the guys that actually make the equipment that make semiconductors.

Prof G Markets
Hottest Inflation Report In 3 Years Has One Big Problem

If all of this demand is really going to be true, we need more chips and more wafers, and that requires more equipment.
