$VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ SOXL finished up 15.9% at $141.93. I'm long from $111.50, so that's a gain of $30.43, or 27.3%. My stop was moved to breakeven at $111.50 and is now at $121.50. Back on Aug 24, I said SMH was a house of pain and to stay open-minded about rotation. Rotation did show up, and the $578 close was the first real tell. Now we've got the second. The pattern looks like a rounding base or inverse head and shoulders. The neckline was the $575–$585 band, which had the falling 50-day moving average and the August shelf. That level has now broken.

$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ IREN was talking about compute rates of 20 paying back in 3 years. CoreWeave just signed 40M per MW, and Mush mentioned as high as 50. NeoClouds with a lot of capacity should be going ballistic. CoreWeave already has almost as much capacity up as SpaceX.
Intel is an American chipmaker with something most of its competitors don't have. There's a part of the Intel story that I think gets overlooked. Intel is an American company. It was founded in California in 1968, is headquartered in Silicon Valley, and has spent decades developing semiconductor technology and manufacturing capacity inside the United States. Compared with the major fabless chip designers, Intel possesses something strategically different. It has the ability to design leading edge processors and manufacture leading edge logic chips on American soil using Intel's own manufacturing technology and fabs. Intel actually manufactures leading edge chips in America. That distinction matters. Companies like NVIDIA and AMD are largely fabless semiconductor companies. They design some
