This weekend feels like exhaling after a brutal, dizzying week — the memory/chip trade is still whipsawing violently but the fundamental story (chronic shortage, insane profit growth) keeps winning out over leverage-driven panic. Korea's retail base got wrecked and is now in retreat, regulators are scrambling to contain leveraged-ETF blowups, and Wall Street banks are literally hedging crash risk with exotic derivatives — all signs the plumbing is stressed even as earnings validate the AI capex boom. Apple is the odd one out, punished hard despite solid numbers, while Amazon and Microsoft ride cloud beats to strength. Overall mood: nervous but not capitulating, everyone bracing for more 15-20% single-day swings while trying not to fight the underlying supply-tightness cycle.
