The Real Money Isn't in the Apps
Think of it like a gold rush. You can spend your time and money betting on which prospector will strike the motherlode, or you can sell the picks, shovels, and blue jeans to every single one of them. I know which business I’d rather be in. The AI boom is creating a simply staggering demand for computing power, and the companies supplying the tools to create that power are quietly printing money.
Don’t just take my word for it. Look at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC. According to data reviewed by the research team at Nemo, the world’s largest chipmaker just posted a jaw-dropping 39% surge in revenue. What’s driving it? An insatiable demand for the advanced chips that power AI. This isn’t a fluke. To me, this looks like the start of a massive, sustained cycle. The software might be the star of the show, but it’s the silicon stage it performs on that holds the real, monopolistic power.
