Thus, that behavior becomes self-reinforcing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Portfolio managers, regardless of age, have to fall on the side of the younger investors.\u00a0 They can\u2019t run the career risk that underperformance might bring, so they have no choice but to follow the herd, and the bulk of that herd has turned this market into a momentum monster.\u00a0 Some are buying more stocks; others are using upside calls as FOMO or underperformance insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vertical move in semis, while quite easily explained by better earnings, also makes many wonder whether the 40%+ rally in SOX in just a few weeks raises the question of whether we were mispriced before, are mispriced now, or some of each.&nbsp; I say it\u2019s some of each \u2013 the earnings and guidance have been very good, but much of the guidance improvement has been for next quarter, not the long term (AMD is an exception).&nbsp; Remember also that semis are historically quite cyclical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just learned a cool fact \u2013 current corporate AI budgets are being allocated 93% to IT infrastructure and only 7% to Human + AI Design.&nbsp; It means that the AI build-out is outpacing our ability to implement this technology properly.&nbsp; As long as that trend persists, so do the tech rally and the capex boost to GDP.&nbsp; If that spending mix changes from buying the technology to using it profitably, then we have a problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regular readers will notice that I haven\u2019t written any new strategy pieces this week.
