Semiconductor and memory (RAM) have historically followed boom-bust cycles; current demand extrapolation and capacity builds mirror past peaks. Frothy IPOs (SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic) and FOMO-driven buying indicate the market is overextended, creating a short opportunity on a broad semiconductor ETF. Short SMH to bet on a mean-reversion cycle as oversupply and slowing demand reverse the current euphoria. AI demand may be structurally persistent, delaying the bust; new capacity could take years to materialize; central bank liquidity could extend the boom.
