Fun: AI is back as the market's darling with the Iran US war subsiding However things popped up all over with the latest being Iran saying the Hormuz is opened for commercial ships, then reversed course in less than half a day. Supposedly because US has not lifted the Hormuz blockade for Iran's ports. What a topsy turvy rollercoaster ride!
Also, this continuing growth makes me wonder if the market will react negatively to any setbacks between Iran and USA, let's say they really have another meeting and it falls apart, would there be a huge slide or will it just pretend nothing happened? Rumours are going around that USA will be taking military action in Cuba next, would the market have any sense to react accordingly...
Nflx has been on a general uptrend for a few weeks now. I am expecting decent results for earnings, but a slight correction due to the sustained over enthusiasm. Let's see.
I am curious, is the Capital World even a serious play? Or is it a buy now for future gains thing. The price is concerning to say the least. So the US blockading Iran, who is blocking Hormuz... that should have been the play from the start, not a war. But we will be starting on the next rounds of oil prices going up.
I recall seeing that memory producers can produce more, but do not want to because they expect the AI bubble to bust and therefore have an excess glut. I wonder if optics have that outlook too because you don't want to be caught holding on to too much material when most companies go under and then be unwillingly caught in the dominoes falling. Honestly do not comprehend how the competition is not thinning out, especially with the fact that profitability is a huge issue that every company is kicking down the road and energy took a big hit.
I was looking at Parkway Life but it seemed relatively stable, maybe because it was in the healthcare line and has a different sort of exposure in relation to the Iran US conflict. However there were some moments when it slid when I expected otherwise, guess I am not cut out for this [Cry]
It is not just oil rebounding 3% that can be discounted as a minor plot development, it is Iran making things difficult and risking the wrath of the Donald. If somehow he believes that this is an egg on his face and that Iran simply will not obey, Mr. Trunp might just decide to press the proverbial button and "wipe out a civilisation" just to look like a big boy, then the jitters and gains now will look like specks of dust on the wind, so small and so inconsequential.
I have a lack of faith in Openai, and believe they will struggle to ipo with a bang. At work, the whispers are going around the Claude is simply better and that Chatgpt is coasting on being the bigger name and the first big player. But results will gradually speak for itself, as corporate users become the market that these AI companies fight for. Aside from that, there is the constant need to keep ahead of the competition, whether by buying the newest Nvda chips and further eating away at profits, or looking to improve the model (and paying the engineers? Or do they trust their AI to code its future iteration [Thinking]). Then there is the spending on energy to run data centres, to produce the results requested by users. And that part has been hit hard by the Usa Iran conflict, so is th
There is only so much users that can make use of these AI models all while populations are gradually shrinking in developed nations (who are more technologically focused and using AI as a tool), and you simply have too much competition to try and charge users a hand and a leg, or slow boil them by gradually cranking the prices. Then there is the factor of the media constantly keeping track of which company has the best model, and users are particularly sensitive about getting their bang for the buck, so if you are expensive and yet do not produce the goods, they will jump ship. In my workplace there are multiple subscriptions provided, but everyone knows that corporations simply will not be willing to incur overlapped spend on these AI models, eventually the head honchos will want to tri
