Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Compound and Friends. Tonight's show is an all new edition. First one of the Year of what are your thoughts with Michael Batnick and I? And we got directly into it software stocks versus semi stocks for this year. Savita Subramanian, Sell side indicator. We took a look at some of the big stuff that was announced by Nvidia and Amazon at the Consumer Electronics show yesterday. Did a little bit of a level set on the AI trade with some really great charts and my recipe for fighting communism in the year 2026. We looked at the Trump accounts, which are going to include a federal seed contribution of $1,000 into a stock market account for every baby born between now and and December 31, 2028. I love this idea and I want to see it continue to take take root and take flight. And we'll get into that as well. So thank you guys so much for listening. We're sponsored by Public Tonight.
