Market tanks on Fed news but chip gear stocks hit record highs — buy the strength

The stock market overall tanked on the Fed's rate news, with the S&P 500 having its worst reaction to a new Fed Chair since 1994. But the companies that make the machines building computer chips actually hit all-time highs, completely ignoring the broader market panic.

Idea

When a specific industry goes up on a day the rest of the market is crashing, it shows extreme investor confidence in that sector. The artificial intelligence boom is clearly keeping demand for chip-making equipment sky high, acting as a shield against the broader fear of higher interest rates. Buying the companies hitting all-time highs on a down-market day is a strong way to follow the money.
