Then they tend to rally hard in late April and May. ✔ Is this year really that abnormal? Especially when coming off back-to-back 20% gains? Maybe not Source: Carson, Ryan Detrick

NVIDIA $NVDA CEO JENSEN HAUNG JUST SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON US EXPORT CONTROLS FOR AI:
"The question is not whether China will have AI. It already does. The question is whether one of the world's largest AI markets will run on American platforms. Shielding Chinese chipmakers from US competition only strengthens them abroad. Weakens America's position. Export restrictions have spurred China's innovation and scale. The AI race is not just about chips. It's about which stack the world runs on." "The US has based its policy on the assumption that China cannot make AI chips. That assumption was always questionable, and now it's clearly WRONG. China, has enormous manufacturing capability. In the end, the platform that wins the AI developers wins AI. Export controls should strengthen US platforms not drive half of the world's AI talent to rivals" Source: Evan on X
