On this drive Ram reads the post-midterm selloff. The VIX near 28 looks like panic to him, and he walks through why a Democratic sweep, a proposed data center moratorium in Texas and fear about 2028 hit AI and semiconductor stocks so hard.
His view: the fundamentals have not changed. Data centers under construction still get built, the value chain from cloud providers to chips and memory is still making money, and demand for compute keeps rising. He explains why he sees a rolling correction rather than a bubble bursting.
He also covers what drove the vote, from inflation and the Iran war to the early shape of the 2028 field, why he calls inflation the enemy of good governance, the role QE played, prediction markets, and why a capex constraint could make the AI build-out last longer.
