This is one of the wackier days I've seen, had a wacky squawk on the street, and that's in part because it's a better market. We have the yields okay, so you can be a little bit more upbeat CPI tomorrow. So we talk a lot about the team survey, of which I don't think people understand. This is a 6,000-person survey from Piper that historically has predicted an incredibly predictive of prices, and there are a lot of companies that we can talk about that have done very well, and some are not doing well. Otherwise Starbucks is wholly into the survey, Dutch pros moving up, but if you were in Nike, you have to sell. I mean, that's clearly what it says, underarm you have to sell. So anyway, that's some of the things we talked about, and then we talked about the making caps. But today's alphabet day, very significant day for alphabet. It's having a good day. They announced a new arm-based custom AI chip called Axion, like we made by Broadcom, and it follows Broadcom, or excuse me, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta Amazon. They're all making these own chips, their own chips, some of them made by Broadcom, some by Marvell. And ours is in there, we know for Armcom. Yeah, they're all Arm-based. But as a way to do some reliance on NVIDIA AMD. NVIDIA is down because we're not talking enough about NVIDIA because these are companies that are trying to win themselves off of NVIDIA. Now, they can't. Yeah. But they can- Well, they need both. They need both. They need custom chips a little bit more specialized in their functions. Right, these are not CPU, GPU, they're CPU-based, a basic, but they are made specifically for Google. And NVIDIA does not do that, NVIDIA makes very big super computers, of which, by the way, Google's based on. So, I mean, that's not- Yeah, and this custom chip business for Broadcom, I think it's supposed to be $9 billion in revenues this year. I think it was significantly from the year before- But you broke that story last week. That story last week. You said point blank that this was happening. You remember we had- Yeah, they had their AI day, they talked about, they had expansion with Meta, Alphabet, but they also have a third customer as well. Many people think that's TikTok. But I think what's newer today, at least this is what JP Morgan's writing, is that these relationships are expanding and could sustain growth over the next couple of years for these custom chip businesses. But it's very important because Broadcom has grown on the basis of buying companies and firing people. This is actually about a technological edge, so it's different from Broadcom. And one that I think is more sustainable and more secular and less cyclical. So I think that's very positive. Start your day with my outlook on the market every morning.
