Lumida Wealth : Non-Consensus Invest Beyond the Ordinary

FSD: The War of Thug

Episode Notes

Momentum Is Rotating Out of Semis. Here's Where It's Going.

The memory and semiconductor trade got crowded and sloppy, and Ram thinks the money is already moving. This episode is about where momentum is headed next: health care, biotech, consumer finance, and banks, and why more stocks advanced in the S&P than fell even on a red Nasdaq day. He gets into the tug-of-war between hyperscalers and the chipmakers they fund, why Microsoft looks mispriced, and how much people would really pay for a faster, more autonomous Claude. Starts with a quick vent about the US losing to Belgium.
