<li>Who wins the AI race is like asking ”who won the Internet?” Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft? Wait, maybe it’s ASML and TSMC? Do you see how dumb this question is? </li>
<li>If you trade stocks, you enjoy the “Google is back” moment. Or maybe that was last week’s trade. The market wants profits and margins. Revenue growth is no longer enough.</li>
<li>So, who wins the AI race? I will eventually buy,  hopefully early 2026: AMD, Google, LAM, Meta, Microsoft, Micron, Nvidia, TSMC. These are the category winners IMO</li>
