Speaker 2: let's do that. Let's do that.

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Square.

39
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: First and foremost won't get me a game. All right,

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: let's do it. You all ready? Yes? All right? All right?

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: So last week I told you that TSM was one

42
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: of my Obviously TSM we were looking at it had

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: a great day today.

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: Shout out to TSM and everybody that's in that position.

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Uh. I don't think that it's slowing down. It passed

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: a key threshold. When we talked about supporting resistance on

47
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: the call, it was at two o two, So we

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: saw a run up to ten today, which is a

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: great sign leading into the next year. That's on my list.

50
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: It was my stocking year last year. Somebody was in

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: the comments like, you name it, that's your stocking year again. Yeah,

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: I did, because they got still the story, all right. Yeah,

53
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: so I asked some questions. All right, I think the

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: obvious are on here, uh ASML obviously when we talk

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: about everything here I and it being at the centerpiece of.

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: This this revolution, I don't.

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they have monopoly, and we've always talked about

58
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: having a monopoly, like what Amazon, This is a monopoly, right,

59
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: This space cannot thrive without that machinery that is provided

60
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: to TSM, which is going to manufacture the chips as well.

61
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: Even with Amazon saying that they're going to produce their

62
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: own chip, they've hired TSM as a manufacturer.

63
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 2: So, okay, it's still the cycle. So we got to

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: go to the stock. Pick your Amazon.

65
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: It's good the Okay, at this point that's always gonna

66
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: be my stock, all right, so that that one doesn't count.

67
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: Uh, Broadcom is in my stocks of the year. I

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: got a bunch.

69
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: I got usually it's five, but I said, you know what,

70
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: there's just so many that I'm going to go through

71
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: more broad coom obviously from connectivity standpoint, inside of the

72
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: data centers and what its partnership and inside of working

73
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: with Nvideo is on there Lily. I mean basically we

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: speak about this all the time. We saw what happened

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: last week and if you weren't paying attention, uh Novo

76
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: had their first trial with their their weight loss specific

77
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: drug and it didn't do as well. We saw a

78
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: noble pullback that increased the stock price for Lily. I

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: think Lily is the problem with that pullback that they

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: had was that the demand was so hot that they

81
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out how to match the demand.

82
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: I think they saw that that issue.

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: They're going to outpace with more capacity, more spending inside

84
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: of infrastructure to meet the demand. So Lily's on my

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: list as well. We got in Nvidia of course. I

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: think in Video still has an incredible year. Blackwell, we

87
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: talked about Rubin. I mean that's an obvious one. I

88
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: have AMD as well. I have AMD a good year

89
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. Obviously, we talk about being

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: number one and number two and I still stand by it.

91
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Right Sometimes being number two in the space is it's okay.

92
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Obviously they're well behind in video when it comes to

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: the GPU market. I think in video has like eighty

94
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: seven percent market year. But that next tier, which is

95
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: like fifteen to seventeen percent, it's AMD. There isn't like

96
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: another three and better. So it is AMD. But what

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: they have done is they've kicked Intel to the curve

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the CPU market, and so you have

99
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: number one.

100
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: Now is AMD in that market.

101
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: We saw some pullback with Micron last week because of

102
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: the sales of computers and smartphones, which is a bigger story, right,

103
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: Like when we talk about Apple, what does that look like?

104
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: So those things are the things we should be looking at.

105
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: What computer sales are looking like, what smartphones are looking like,

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: because all these things play a role. I think AMD

107
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: is at a key threshold. As more corporate accounts the

108
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: Amazons of the world, the Metas of the world, the

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: microsource of the world apples. The more Blackwell sells out,

110
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: you're going to need a replacement.

111
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: You need a second tier.

112
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Now from everything that they've said, the M one three

113
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: hundred x, which is a MD's new GPU. They said

114
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: it's super powerful and super efficient. If it performs at

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: it even somewhere close to where Blackwell is, you're going

116
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: to see an up taking their sales. So AMD's on

117
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: the list as well. Let's see where else did we

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: go that was those cases. I have Micron as well

119
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: from a memory standpoint, and it's interesting. I've just read

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: CNBC's Market Companies of twenty twenty five. They had a

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: list of which ones had the most profitability likelihood.

122
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: Micron was in there.

123
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: It had thirty six percent increase. Also in there was

124
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Western Digital. What are those two things have in common?

125
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: They talk about the memory space, right, so we always

126
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: talk about data stores, data storage, data storage. These two

127
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: companies focused on memory, which will be one of the

128
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: stories of twenty twenty five as well. Micro strategy of course,

129
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: right when we're talking about this bitcoin and I'm glad

130
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: we had that class when we talked about the life

131
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: cycle of bitcoin and appreciation that twenty nine percent average

132
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: the fourth year of the cycle being the best. Well,

133
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 1: if that stays consistent, then MicroStrategy is something that we

134
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: definitely have to have on our list. And then the

135
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: last three of all energy companies that have to deal

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: with power the future of the AI revolution VRT write

137
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: these down, v R T, UH vs T and GeV

138
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: and g EV was a branch off from General Electric.

139
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: This is more focusing on data centers. You've seen the

140
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: energy flow going into data centers. We talked about Microsoft

141
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: with their purchase of Constellation, we talk about Amazon. Everybody's

142
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how they're going to create their

143
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: own energy source to now power the next revolution. So

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: energy is one of those big stories for me, definitely

145
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five.

146
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: Those are my picks for the Andkava shout out to Kava.

147
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: And the more I have conversation with people, the less

148
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: they are familiar with Cava, which is very interesting to

149
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: me because if we watched their I guess the fairest

150
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: comparison with the Chipotle, right, Chipotle is fast, casual Mexican grill.

151
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Cava is fast casual Mediterranean.

152
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

153
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: To valuate polar store to store evaluations, it is pretty interesting,

154
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: which tells me that there's room for expansion. I think

155
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Chipotle has over thirty three hundred stores across America. Cava

156
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: is trying to add fifty six stores fifty six. I

157
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,000
