The AI Trade Is Finally Cracking | Weekly Roundup
"Some of these stocks in Japan and Korea and Taiwan and in the semi space are reversing 2 to 3 months of price action in days. That is characteristics of a bubble. The bottleneck bro stuff was getting ridiculous. If you're seeing that stuff, this is ridiculous."
Quinn describes semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks reversing two to three months of gains in days as bubble behavior, driven by extreme crowding in momentum strategies. The trade had devolved into pump-and-dump schemes around micro-cap stocks marketed as AI bottleneck plays. The violent reversal follows classic bubble psychology where positioning matters more than fundamentals.
