Semiconductors: The Hottest Commodity On Earth (Or At Least Trading Like It)
Manage episode 397047157 series 2543942
The chip sector has been Hansel-level hot to start 2024. AMD and Nvidia have jumped 14% and 21% respectively in 2024, the SOXX ETF is up 8% in the last week, and the AI theme of 2023 is still driving things to start 2024.
What does this say about the sector, and why is it like being a favorite to win the Super Bowl? We discuss the excitement, the build out of AI, the usage, and how that all converges into questions for chip stocks.
This is the first of two episodes this week, with the second on a couple different topics, watch for that Thursday or Friday.
