"Look, people don't realize these are company, SK and Samsung are the main ones. We're very proud here of Micron, but SK hynix is really the big one."

He then discussed the firm in multiple tweets:

"The Samsung poor reaction to a great q is a little separate from everything happening here including the $28b that might be headed to the better company, SK Hynix.

"Does this market have enough money to do an SK Hynix deal at reasonable prices? We couldn't even do Rivian with a couple of points of where it was… We have to be careful

"The bankers are letting everyone know how oversubscribed the SK Hynix deal is. That's a dangerous game.. i hope they still price it at a little bit of discount.. Not too much to scare people but enough to keep the deal tight"

While we acknowledge the potential of SKHY as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
