$Micron Technology(MU)$ $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ $SK hynix(SKHY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ CNBC's news expose on Micron isn't particularly helpful because the newscasters only want to talk about the boom and bust. CNBC needs better newscasters, some of them are a real joke. Micron is spending big money, but not on fabrication plants, but on everything that supports the fabrication process. Micron, like SanDisk and SK Hynix, understands that to build the next gen chips, they are going to have to rebuild everything from the ground up, and that is what they are doing. But as far as ac
$SK hynix(SKHY)$ $Micron Technology(MU)$ $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ I think the SK Hynix buyback works out to 240.7 million in ADR shares, even though that's not what was actually bought back. For perspective, 2.5% of the outstanding SK shares are in ADR form. That works out to 177 million ADRs.

I'm hoping we can consolidate through this macro headwind without a big pullback. If $SpaceX(SPCX)$ can stay steady, that would help support the space sector.
$Coherent(COHR)$ AAOI is seeing more money flowing in today even though it's down the most. I think the money will rotate back here soon, maybe even before the close.
$SpaceX(SPCX)$ Those "it will go down after unlock" posts were the classic post-IPO lockup folklore that works on weak companies. On a name with this kind of demand and narrative, it just created a perfect short-squeeze and FOMO fuel setup. Congrats to everyone who faded the doom scrollers.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$ It looks like Wall Street has found a way to repackage AI-related debt and sell it to 401k companies through CLOs. The idea being that if it eventually goes down, it's baked into everything, and the government would be forced to step in and bail them out.
