I just looked up a 2TB M.2 SSD I bought in November of 2024 for $179.99.

It's $419.99 now... Only 1 left when I checked.

Luckily I don't need it. However, I'm wondering when I'll run out of storage on my media server.

I've cratered three disks in the last month and also needed 2x32g ram.

I may be selling a kidney. Hit me up later.

Watch carefully for PC hardware prices to come back down to more than they cost before, for no particular reason

Suddenly ?

I predict that this bubble has a lot more runway than you want it to have. It will continue to grow for years.

I think I've read that OpenAI will go bankrupt around mid-2027 unless they start charging everyone a lot more to use their service.

I expect bailouts from the government, though.

The rule is that the market can generally stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

The haven't even tried handing the bag directly to retail investors. That's when the endgame starts.
