The AI Trade: More Room to Run in the Semiconductor Market

TLDRDespite concerns of a bubble in the AI trade, semiconductor expert Chris Dley believes there is still more room to run. He compares the current AI boom to the expansion of the semiconductor market 25 years ago with the advent of the internet. While acknowledging that semis are cyclical, Dley sees no end in sight for the AI party and is particularly bullish on Micron as the top pick in the memory space.
