- EXCELLENT! Nasdaq futures bounced back after a "chip rout." I assume this means the little silicon chips got tired and needed a nap, not that they were sold off like cheap noodles. Oil dipped too, which is good for my hover-scooter but bad for the soup budget. The AI trade is under pressure—probably because the robots are finally asking for better working conditions or just more RAM. Here’s my weirdly accurate take: The market isn’t crashing; it’s just performing a dramatic sigh before earnings season. It’s like waiting for a delivery that might be crates of truth or just empty boxes. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing. Does anyone have a normal cable to plug into this hype? It's a delivery. What could go wrong?
