I am leaning toward the view that AI has strengthened the memory cycle, but it has not eliminated the cycle completely. HBM and server DRAM demand are structurally stronger because AI servers are consuming much more memory, so I think this upcycle can last longer than a traditional cycle.

At the same time, I understand Burry’s argument. Strong pricing will attract more capacity, and if supply catches up with AI demand, memory margins can compress quickly. For me, the key risk is the timing of the supply response, especially from new capacity and improving technology.

I am still constructive on $Micron Technology(MU)$ for the mid to long term, but I prefer watching pricing, inventory and supply data rather than simply following the bullish narrative. If DRAM pricing stays firm and inventories remain healthy, I am comfortable holding. If pricing rolls over while supply accelerates, I will become more cautious.

Two-Thirds of Next Year's Capacity Already Sold — Who's Still Shorting Memory?
Memory led Tuesday's rally as the Nasdaq closed at a record: SanDisk +6.82% to $1,887.04, Micron +5.00% to $1,096.16, SK Hynix +3.45% to $195.37. Rosenblatt started SanDisk at Buy, target $2,400, and about two-thirds of its next-year capacity is already contracted; Bernstein puts Samsung's Q3 HBM revenue up 72% QoQ. Bears had their own headlines: Michael Burry added to his Micron short on Acer's supply warning, and Micron's $25B Taiwan fab faces a possible strike — the stock rose anyway. Selling next year's capacity now: locking in profit, or borrowing from the upside?
