Let’s talk about the monster rally in chip stocks… The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) – a basket of the biggest names in the chip industry – has surged 65% in just 32 trading days. That’s not normal. Not that I’m complaining. We’ve been riding this melt-up higher, with eight out of the 10 positions in the Tech Titans portfolio directly tied to the AI hardware and infrastructure boom.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually … We lagged the market last month. That’s after an epic streak of beating the market, month in and month out. Not for just a few months, either, but for 10 months in a row! Facetiously, I’ll say it was just “too much” winning … you know, that “so much winning we’re getting tired of it” type of winning.

I saw a headline this morning announcing that chipmaker Intel (INTC) just hit new all-time highs. That sounds routine in a bull market – until you look closer… This isn’t simply a surge into new territory. It’s a decadeslong round trip. You see, Intel recently surpassed its old all-time high from 2000… after 26 years!

Just like that, stocks are back to all-time highs. Both the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq have more than recouped their losses from the Iran war and are setting new records by the day. The rebound has been particularly pronounced in tech. Over the past 10 days, the “Magnificent Seven” as a group are up a monster 11%. However, whether the move is sustainable remains to be seen…

Think back to some of the most jarring market events of recent years… The 2020 COVID Crisis. The 2025 Tariff Tantrum. And now, we’re at war in Iran.
