What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBloomberg reports SpaceX is eyeing forty billion dollars in Nvidia chips, and Asian stocks are holding near record highs.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining us from a yacht is hedge fund manager Thaddeus Quillfeather.
Thaddeus QuillfeatherVera, lovely to be here. Forgive the noise, my crew is polishing the second helicopter. It gets lonely when only one helicopter is shiny.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorForty billion dollars on chips, Thaddeus. That's AI demand roaring. Tell me you're not still short everything.
Thaddeus QuillfeatherI'm short everything, darling. Stocks, bonds, my ex-wife's confidence. Forty billion on chips is just the top of the bubble blowing its nose.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBloomberg says Asian stocks are near record highs. You're losing money on a boat. Does the boat know?
Thaddeus QuillfeatherThe boat is paid for. Losses are temporary, like my patience. I've been right about this crash since breakfast. Not today's breakfast. Some breakfast.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSome breakfast. Thaddeus, the data says nothing about a crash. It says demand. Sorry, a gift from God.
Thaddeus QuillfeatherA gift? Vera, I once shorted a lemonade stand and the child cried. That's conviction. Chips this expensive end in tears, mine hopefully dry.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's a child. A child, Thaddeus. Be honest: has anything on that yacht actually made you money this year?
Thaddeus QuillfeatherWell. The yacht has a hot tub. And I'm sitting in it right now. Fully clothed. The jets just went off. Please don't tell Dale.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYour secret is safe, and so is my long position. Dale would smell that tub from Tokyo. Anything final?
Thaddeus QuillfeatherYes. If SpaceX buys forty billion in chips and I'm wrong, I'll eat my captain's hat. It's mostly felt. Stringy.
