I'd point out that the $SOXX chart YTD is near perfectly following the 2000 example with the failed break out.

The next 5 years could be an incredible stock picker's market. Long the companies that win from AI efficiencies but whos business is not threatened by AI. Companies who get to fire their lawyers and accountants etc but already have an impossible to beat scale advantage (because AI does not attack that scale advantage). Short the companies that lose from big AI threats. $RSP $SPY $IWM etc could go nowhere for 5 years while half the stocks trade down 70%, half trade up 70%.

$SOXX had every chance to break out to new highs. After Leopold's blow up, you should strongly have assumed it would have. It tried, and the bulls blew ouat again. The whole setup seems so bearish the AI trade today. https://t.co/Y9i3lKYHXU
