📚 EDUCATIONAL CORNER: Understanding Chip Wars

Why Google TPUs vs. NVIDIA GPUs Matters:

NVIDIA (Dominant):

• GPUs = general purpose AI training

• 80%+ market share

• Premium pricing

GOOGLE TPUs (Challenger):

• Custom chips optimized for Google's AI models

• Now available to rent (META interested)

• Potentially lower cost

Market Impact:

• Breaks NVIDIA monopoly

• Gives cloud providers (GOOGL, AMZN, MSFT) own silicon

• Long-term margin pressure on NVDA

• Opportunity for diversified plays

Trading Lesson: When monopolies break, trade the disruptor (GOOGL) AND the alternatives (AVGO, AMD).

🚨 FINAL CHECKLIST BEFORE YOU TRADE

✅ DID YOU:

• Verify your account has buying power?

• Set stop losses on ALL positions?
