SKHYV brought attention back to the storage trade today, but the name I was really watching was SNDK. Storage didn’t suddenly recover out of nowhere. There were already some signs of buyers coming back yesterday. Today, SKHYV just made the memory trade more visible. The first 30 minutes after the …
Is DSC Holding a stock worth looking at? They control 90%+ of the market share in Chinese used car dealer's operating systems, and are investing in AI.
They IPOed at almost $1 billion, and $17 a share, which rapidly collapsed to $6-7 a share, and it's been pretty volatile since.

US private AI investment is about 23x China's. So why does the research funding trend still nag at me as a long term allocator?
The Al Jazeera headline from July 7 got me: US budget slashing risks losing global scientific edge to China. My first reaction was to price a tilt toward Chinese research heavy names. Then I argued myself back, because one number really should end this. Stanford's 2026 AI Index puts US …

Schwab ETFs vs Schwab Fundamental ETFs
I have a lot of overlap right now and am not sure if I should commit to the fundamentals or not. I would like to understand better the difference between these two from someone who knows more than me :) I know the fundamentals are tilted, but not sure much …
$26.5B for memory chips. good luck financing a copper mine.
Wall Street can still find money for AI very quickly. SK Hynix just raised about $26.5B in its U.S. listing, even after a pullback in chip stocks. That is a huge number, and it says investors still want exposure to the AI infrastructure chain. The slower part is everything underneath …
