STEPHEN GUILFOYLE: So we're talking about Huawei and Nvidia and the AI trade appropriate. The semiconductor AI trade appropriate now I mean I became as soon as lengthy Nvidia and Superior Micro Devices potentially since the cows came dwelling except about maybe a month or two ago. And I bought out of every of those names, I had whittled down those positions as they eroded. I bought out of those positions fully. Now, that would not mean I obtain not remember in Jensen Wang. It would not mean I obtain not remember in Lisa Hsu. It it does mean that I judge we're in a tricky space as a ways as this goes. Not only are they not allowed to sell final year's model or 2022 model AI chip to the Chinese customers, and now Huawei is filling that hole.

There may be also stress on the hyperscalers right here within the U.S., to even either diversify who they're attempting to search out their chips from, maybe fabricate their very hang, similar to Apple and Amazon and a couple of others are doing or good stress. These the designers of those, you know, better discontinue AI succesful chips to on tag. I obtain not I obtain not judge they obtain pricing strength the manner they as soon as did. And not that the AI trade is going to dumb down fully. I judge Andy Jassy of Amazon told us that in his letter. I mean, maybe per week or two ago. It is aloof there. However he also told you that they are making a kind of their very hang chips now. And so as that trade is going to trade. And except I obtain a transparent course, I am not an investor in Nvidia or AMD appropriate now who I peep because the leaders in that discipline as a ways as obtain is anxious.
