AVGO rattles Wall Street… Alphabet’s $80 billion proof point… AI just entered your brokerage account… why the smart money is betting $50 billion on the AI backbone …

As I write Thursday morning, chip stocks are selling off, pulling the AI complex down alongside it.

The culprit: Broadcom (AVGO) reported earnings last night that were, by any objective measure, extraordinary. AI semiconductor revenues climbed 143% year over year, and Q3 guidance calls for $29.4 billion in revenue.

And yet Wall Street is hammering the stock, down 13% as I write.

Why?
