Just as Lucent and Alcatel did, $NVDA is providing enormous vendor financing, thus in part the argument as to why it is a “synthetic” neocloud hyperscaler. $NVDA is on the hook if the neoclouds stop paying. I think there are great similarities between the neocloud boom and the CLEC buildout. And I think there is great risk of DWDM-like innovation (which is what killed the fiber industry) in LLMs, memory, et al. Finally, some investors whine about $NVDA’s “low multiple.” That’s what happens when you lend money to your customers to prop up pricing power and stem market share loses to ASICs. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

I'm short a little $CRWV. Obviously I'm not happy with the move today, but I listened to the @cnbc interview with the CEO and two things really made me feel better: 1) @jimcramer called it an "inflection point" and a day that will go down in history (thank you for your tireless service Jim) 2) The $CRWV CEO's stuttering and non-stuttering sequences really were quite revealing. I'm not trying to belittle someone's speech challenges. Public speaking is hard, but someone with some basic CIA interview skills training would have a field day with his 5-10 minute segment on CNBC, particularly when asked about margins, insider selling, and project delays. He struggled mightily there to get the words out, which is telling. Of course @CNBC clipped out most of those parts of the interview, but you can watch the rest here. https://t.co/ldWzhWZXlO
