DeepSeek and all LLMs are all massively overvalued, but also, isn't it fun to watch corpo media turn on a dime in service of shareholders to rebuild sentiment in tech stocks. Show's over folks, back to line-goey-uppy.
Tinfoil hat mode: Watch NVIDIA stock recover in a week like this wasn't some manufactured rug pull. Probably by friends of that Intel exec who went on the news talking about how he bought the dip. Not being super serious, but it'd be hardly the most blatant manipulation we've seen.

  All of them. All the caveats you got.
