According to UBS Group's review of the 20-year storage cycle, after High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) squeezed DRAM production capacity and AI increased the value weight of memory, the traditional method of using 'price acceleration' to predict market peaks has shown low accuracy. A more effective leading indicator is operating profit.
Historically, stock prices have peaked either in sync with or ahead of profit peaks in 90% of cases. The bank forecasts that the current profit peak will occur in the third quarter of 2027, implying that the rally in memory stocks may continue until the second quarter of 2027.

U.S. President Trump stated that the U.S. has been informed by most of its NATO 'allies' that they do not wish to participate in military actions against Iran. However, I am not surprised by their behavior, as I have always believed that NATO is a one-way street – we protect these countries, but they do nothing for us, especially when it matters. Fortunately, we have already dismantled Iran’s military capabilities – their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their air defense and radar systems are gone, and perhaps most importantly, their leadership at all levels has disappeared, no longer able to threaten us, our Middle Eastern allies, or the world! Due to this remarkable military victory, we no longer 'need' or desire the assistance of NATO countries – we never did! The same applies to Japan, Australia, or South Korea. In fact, as the president of the United States (the most powerful country in the world by far), we do not need anyone’s help!
