Her team is very excited about this. Use cases haven't scaled or been proven over the last 2-3 years. They've been looking at commercial applications, which are in a very experimental phase. Makes it hard to justify on risk/reward right now. Time to invest is once we see commercial acceleration.
Big players are IONQ and RGTI. Unclear which technology will be the winner.
She blames US monetary policy for distorting the current market. The Fed Reserve has been too eager to print money for the last 20 years while the treasury has been too willing to spend big on stimulus. It's no longer true that the dollar moves in the opposite direction of risk assets and most commodities. Patterns: when Trump was first and sworn in, the dollar fell 15%; it also fell the next time he was sworn in, but later bounced when US companies repatriate their cash. Oil: In March when the dollar bottomed, oil soared. Any oil rally will cap at $80-85 for WTI, or $105 if the US-Iran war resumes. If prices keep falling, it will reach a floor of $57. Gold: When gold bottomed in mid-2022, the USD was peaking. In early 2026, it was the reverse. When gold sells off, it sells off hard, now down $1,500 from highs. Any relief rally won't last and gold will continue to fall.

Is bullish. US margins were 11% of sales and expected to hit 13-14%. The AI flow is driving the economy as the hyperscalers spend and the chipmakers raise prices.
