AI Doesn’t Need More GPUs — It Needs Faster Wires $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Astera Labs, Inc.(ALAB)$ $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ Over the past three years, whenever artificial intelligence comes up, most people immediately picture the same thing: NVIDIA's H100 GPUs forming massive black walls of compute power, followed by the Blackwell architecture's B200 chips, and then the Rubin platform. Investment bank reports compete to outdo each other on who has the most exaggerated claims about compute capacity, parameter counts, or teraflops per second.

Tech Rally Ignites Wall St Fireworks Amid Soft Inflation – Tesla & Micron Explode While Nike Slumps! 🚀💥
Wall Street closed higher today fueled by a scorching tech rally and soothing inflation data that eased economic fears. Tesla jumped over 3% to $446.74, fueled by bold predictions of a $3 trillion valuation on Optimus robot ramps and FSD neural nets boosting ARPU 10% – this EV giant's China sales rebound 10% in November adds nitro for a $500 year-end target if robotaxi pilots dazzle. Micron surged 10% to $115 on blowout earnings forecasts from booming AI market, with memory demand tripling from Nvidia's H200 frenzy – Q1 rev $9.05B up 18% crushes if beats land, unlocking $130 highs as semis rebound.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Imagine a world where AI and robots handle the grunt work, handing out sustainable income to all humanity like candy from a piñata.

No more 9-to-5 grind – just endless creativity, exploration, and abundance. Musk's bold take? AI will satisfy every need, making money irrelevant as energy becomes the new global currency. From powering homes to fueling dreams, this utopia could erase poverty in 10-20 years, turning society into a playground of innovation. With Tesla's Optimus bots ramping production and FSD neural nets evolving, we're on the cusp of robots transforming factories, homes, and economies.

The Fall. Unsure if you have noticed but $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ has recently taken a beating. It happened around Fri, 5 Dec 2025. The fall was a direct reaction to the company’s announcement on Thu, 4 Dec 2025 (after market closed) that it planned to sell $1.5 billion in new common stock (an equity raise). Shares dipped over -6% immediately in after-hours trading. When trading resumed on Friday, it opened approx. -7.3% lower, due to shareholder dilution. (see below) This is because the new shares were priced at a discount of about -7% (at $27.50 per share) compared to prior day's close of $29.60 per share. From 05 Dec 2025 to 17 Dec 2025, SoFI has fallen by -9.04% (-$2.51) to $25.27 per share. The Action. Many were stumped by SoFi’s Manage
