Deepseek, a Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company, has recently made headlines with its innovative AI model. The company claims that its model is more efficient and less expensive to train than its competitors. This has sent shockwaves through the stock market, with investors reacting to the potential implications of Deepseek's technology.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the effects of Deepseek's emergence on the stock market and its competitors. We will also discuss the potential implications of Deepseek's technology for the future of AI.
Short-Term Effects
The immediate effect of Deepseek's announcement was a sharp decline in the stock prices of major AI players. Nvidia, the leading provider of chips for AI training, saw its stock price fall by more than 10% in a single day. Other AI companies, such as Google and Microsoft, also saw their stock prices decline.
The market reacted to the possibility that Deepseek's technology could reduce the demand for Nvidia's products. If Deepseek's model is truly more efficient and less expensive to train, then companies may be less likely to purchase Nvidia's chips.
However, it is important to note that the stock market is often volatile in the short term. The decline in stock prices may simply be a reaction to the uncertainty surrounding Deepseek's technology. It is possible that the stock prices of AI companies will recover in the long run.
Long-Term Effects
The long-term effects of Deepseek's emergence are still uncertain. Some analysts believe that Deepseek's technology could lead to a more competitive AI market. This could benefit consumers in the long run, as companies would be forced to lower their prices and improve their products in order to compete.
Others are concerned that Deepseek's technology could give Chinese companies an advantage in the AI race. This could have implications for national security, as AI is becoming increasingly important in areas such as defense and surveillance.
It is also possible that Deepseek's technology could lead to the development of new AI applications. If Deepseek's model is truly more efficient and less expensive to train, then it could be used to develop AI models for a wider range of applications. This could lead to the development of new products and services that are powered by AI.
Deepseek's Competitors
Deepseek's emergence has put pressure on its competitors to innovate. Companies such as Google and Microsoft are now investing heavily in AI research and development in order to compete with Deepseek.
It is possible that Deepseek's competitors will be able to develop their own technologies that are as efficient and inexpensive as Deepseek's. However, it is also possible that Deepseek will be able to maintain its lead in the AI market.
The Future of AI
The emergence of Deepseek is a sign that the AI market is becoming increasingly competitive. This is good news for consumers, as it could lead to lower prices and better products.
However, it is also important to be aware of the potential risks of AI. AI is a powerful technology that could be used for both good and bad purposes. It is important to ensure that AI is developed and used in a responsible manner.
Conclusion
Deepseek's appearance on the scene has sent shockwaves through the stock market. The company's innovative AI model has the potential to disrupt the AI market. However, the long-term effects of Deepseek's emergence are still uncertain.
It is important to keep an eye on Deepseek and its competitors in the years to come. The future of AI is likely to be shaped by the companies that are able to develop the most innovative and efficient AI technologies.
Additional Points
It is important to note that Deepseek is a relatively new company. It remains to be seen whether the company will be able to maintain its lead in the AI market.
Deepseek's technology is still under development. It is possible that the company will make further improvements to its model in the future.
The AI market is constantly evolving. It is possible that new AI technologies will emerge in the future that are even more efficient and inexpensive than Deepseek's.

Americans still have money to travel, so ignore all those wacky reports that the consumer is about to go missing.
Granted, I wouldn’t say people are flush with cash, but enough to go on holiday and pay for short-term rentals from the likes of good ‘ol company Airbnb (ABNB).
The big takeaway from Airbnb’s earnings report is that the tech rally will continue albeit it in a choppier form than we are generally used to.
But it will keep chugging along, translating into traders and investors buying the big dips when tech stocks go on discount.
That dip buying is what prevents stocks from real weakness, which is something more like a 10% or 20% drop.
Have you noticed that tech stocks hardly go down anymore?
Well, there is money waiting like a parachute to a paratrooper, and this dynamic will underpin the market even though I admit that tech stocks are expensive and losing steam in their internal business models.
Cross-border travel drove a majority of nights booked in the APAC region.
Its North American business, where there were signs of slowing demand last summer, also saw faster growth with a “mid-single digits” gain in nights booked during the holiday season. That’s “driven by broad strength of underlying travel trends within the region,” the company said, while also citing higher pricing of stays and strength in short-term bookings and entire homes.
Booking’s growing 8.5% is nothing to throw a parade over, but the market delivered the stock a 14% return at the time of this writing.
I remember for that type of sumptuous pop, we used to need 30% or more in revenue expansion, and tech just isn’t delivering on that, and it is a sign of the times of Silicon Valley running out of great ideas.
We are still living on Steve Jobs’ ideas for better or worse.
Zuckerberg is still doing the Facebook and Instagram thing, and CEO of Airbnb Brian Cheksy is still doing the short-term rental thing.
His other ideas aren’t stupid, but they won’t move the needle.
Chesky is doubling down on “other products.”
Airbnb will invest $200 million to $250 million into launching and scaling those new products starting in May. His plans are to build on the experiences business for tours, classes, and workshops, and offering add-on amenities during stays such as personal chefs, midweek cleaning, and in-home massages.
Airbnb’s co-host marketplace, which allows homeowners to hire fellow hosts to manage their rentals, is really a nothing-burger.
Getting someone more ruthless to squeeze out higher profits from a rental is not some revolutionary idea, nor will it attract new shareholders.
It is basically hiring a property manager for a short-term rental. It also scales very poorly and is not an efficient use of time.
I am also not sold on the “experiences” business and find it overreaching.
Just the other day, I opened Airbnb’s homepage only to be forced and overruled into an “experience” page of the location I was hoping to search for even though I still hadn’t found a rental unit.
I had to click out of it, wasting my precious time.
Luckily, after I reloaded the page, Airbnb didn’t force-opt me again into their marginal experience page, and I was able to search for my rental.
After all these years, call me arrogant, but I think I know enough to plan my trip and don’t need tech companies to hold my hand or put digital sensors up my butt.
In fact, I will call Airbnb out, their service has been getting incrementally crappier the last few years, but they have a monopoly so they get away with it. Life is unfair, isn’t it?
Tech companies risk alienating many customers, but Airbnb is still a great buy-the-dip company and gives us brilliant insight into the health of the North American consumers.
Buy the dip in tech and ABNB until you shouldn’t.

NEXT STRATEGY WEBINAR
12:00 EST Wednesday, February 26, 2025, from Incline Village, NV.
Below, please find subscribers’ Q&A for the February 12 Mad Hedge Fund Trader Global Strategy Webinar, broadcast from Incline Village, NV.
Q: Can Nvidia (NVDA) go to $200 in the next three years?
A: I would imagine probably, yes. They still have a fabulous business—enormous orders and record profits. But it's not going to happen in the next six months. You need to get us out of the current stock market malaise before anything moves dramatically one way or the other, except for META, which is at an all-time high. Their basic business is still great, and the threat posed by DeepSeek is wildly overblown.
Q: Why is McDonald's (MCD) seeing declining sales?
A: Partly, it's because they have been cutting prices. So, of course, that automatically feeds into declining sales. Also, I think the weight loss drugs Mounjaro or Ozempic are having an impact. People just don't go in and eat three Big Macs for lunch anymore. They may not need any Big Macs at all. And forget about the fries and the super-size high fructose corn syrup drink. When these drugs first came out, it was speculated that fast food companies would be the number one victim of these drugs, and that is turning out to be true. Some 15.5 million people in the United States suddenly aren't hungry anymore; they just take one bite of a meal and then push their food around the plate with their fork. That’s better than taking amphetamines, which people like Judy Garland used to take to lose weight. I think that will affect not only McDonald's, but all fast-food companies which I avoid like the plague anyway because my doctor says I shouldn't eat that food.
Q: Should I buy First Solar (FSLR) based on the revised higher sales outlook?
A: I don't want to touch alternative energy anything right now. I think the government will eliminate all subsidies for all alternative energy—be it solar, windmills, hydrogen, nuclear, whatever—and turn us back into an all-oil and coal economy. That is the announced goal of the new administration. So that eliminates the subsidies for sure. It certainly will be a blow to the earnings of all solar-type companies. If you are going to do an energy form, I would do nuclear, which benefits from deregulation, if that ever happens.
Q: Do price caps fix supply problems? Because Europe is thinking about capping energy prices in the short term.
A: Price caps never work, nor does any other attempt to artificially control prices, because all it does is dry up supply. If you cap the prices, and therefore the profits that energy companies can make, they'll quit. They'll abandon the energy business, or they'll pare it down, or they won't expand. One way or the other, you reduce the return on capital. Capital is like water; it will go where it gets the highest return, and price caps certainly are not part of that formula. But what do I know? I only drilled for natural gas for six years.
Q: What's your top AI choice?
A: Well, I would say it's Nvidia (NVDA) still, and the big AI users which include Meta (META), Google (GOOG), and Amazon (AMZN). Nothing has changed here.
Q: Is there any chance that Ford Motors (F) will be bought out anytime soon or never?
A: My view of all of the legacy car companies, including Stellantis, which is the old Chrysler, Ford (F), and General Motors (GM), is that they are basically giant mountains of scrap metal and only have a scrap metal value, which is about 5 cents on the dollar. That's what they fell to in the 2008 financial crisis, and all of them except for Ford went bankrupt. So I am not a big fan of the legacy auto industry now. And now, they have a trade war. They happen to be one of the biggest victims of trade wars because to stay competitive with Tesla, they moved a lot of their production to Canada and Mexico, and now those plans are going up in flames. So it seems like they're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't. I'm happy driving my Tesla, but I'm wondering if my next car is a BYD. Prices are so low, it might even be worth paying 100% duty just to get a cheaper car that has better self-driving capability. But the future is unknown, to say the least.
Q: Is the next big rotation out of Silicon Valley and into Chinese tech stocks?
A: Over the long term, that may happen, but with the current administration and China (the number one target in restraint of trade and trade wars), I don't want to touch anything Chinese. There are too many better things to do in the U.S. Imagine you buy a Chinese stock, and then the administration announces a total cutoff of trade with China the next day. Not good. Chinese stocks are incredibly cheap. Most of the big ones are now single-digit multiples compared to multiples in the 20s, 30s, and 40s for our stocks. But they come with a very high political risk, and that has been true for several years now. There are better fish to fry than in China. I'd rather buy Europe than China right now if you really do want to go international. But I have no idea why they're going up unless they're discounting an end to the Ukraine War.
Q: Are junk bonds (JNK) and (HYG) a good play?
A: I would say yes. Their default risk has always been over-exaggerated thanks to their unfortunate name. They're yielding 6.54% and change, but it's a very slow mover. If we do get any improvement, any economy without inflation junk will go to $100. It's currently around $96. And you know, yield is a nice thing to have these days since the capital gain side seems to have dried up and turned into dust on almost any asset class.
Q: How can I decide when to sell the stocks that we bought on your recommendations?
A: Well, our trade alerts always have a buy recommendation and a sell recommendation or an expiration date. If you bought the stocks and kept it,just read Global Trading Dispatch for an updated market view. Watch our Mad Hedge Market Timing Index. When we get up into the 70s and 80s, that is definitely sell territory. It's hard for individuals to have an economic view going out to the rest of the year, but even the people who are economists have no idea what's going to happen right now. As I said, uncertainty is at an 8-year high, and that is being reflected in the market. So nothing beats cash, especially when you can earn 4.2% on 90-day US treasury bills. No one ever got fired for taking a profit.
Q: Can Intel (INTC) make a comeback this year?
A: No. I'm sorry, but they won’t. They had a horrible manager. They dumped him after a couple of disastrous years. I knew he was a horrible manager. I fought off all the pressure to buy Intel. So far, that's working. I mean, the stock has been terrible, so it is very cheap, but there is no guarantee that they will ever recover and, in fact, may get taken over by somebody else. So—too many better things to do. I'd rather be buying more Nvidia right now at these prices than sticking my neck out and praying for a miracle at Intel.
Q: A couple of years ago, I bought a bunch of Palantir (PLTR) on your recommendation for the next 10 bagger. I now have a 10 bagger. What should I do?
A: You know, we did recommend Palantir about 10 years ago, and it did nothing for the longest time. And then last year, it just took off like a rocket—I think it's up 400% last year. Price-earnings multiples are insanely high now. So what I would do is sell half your position. That way, the remaining half is all profit. You're playing with the house's money, and you're reducing your risk in a high-risk environment. Sell half, keep the other half. If it looks like it's starting to roll over and die, then you sell your remaining half.
Q: What's your favorite currency this year, and what should we do about it?
A: My favorite currency is the US dollar. If we're not going to get any interest rate cuts this year, the dollar will remain the highest-yielding currency in the world, and then everybody wants to buy it. It's really that simple. It’s all about interest rate differentials. Everybody else in the world has low interest rates, so stick with the dollar and don't touch the foreign currencies yet.
Q: Inflation expectations have exploded higher in view of today's number. Do you expect it to get worse?
A: If the trade war continues, it will absolutely get worse. 25% price increases are inflationary—period. End of story. A price increase is the definition of inflation, and right now, we are increasing the number of countries subject to high punitive tariffs, not decreasing them. You can expect markets to worry about that. And even if they put a temporary hold on these, people are raising prices now. They are not waiting for the actual tariff to hit; they are front-running that right now. So if you don't believe me, go to the grocery store where prices are through the roof. I actually went to a grocery store the other day, and I couldn't believe what things cost.
Q: I'd like to hedge my Nvidia (NVDA) position with a covered call. Which one should I do?
A: Well, it's not actually a hedge. What a covered call does is reduce your cost price and increase income. Right now, we have NVDA at $135. If you shorted something like the February $145 calls, you might get a dollar for that. That reduces your average price by a dollar. If you shorted the March $145 calls, that'll bring in probably $5, reduce your costs by $5, or bring in an extra $5 in income. And if you keep doing this every month and Nvidia stays stuck in a range, you can end up taking $10, $20, or even $30 in premium income over the next six months. And I have a feeling that will be the winning strategy for the first half of this year, using rallies to sell covered calls. You really could get your average cost down quite a lot; that way, if we have a massive sell-off, a lot of that loss will already be covered. If we get a massive rally, your stock just gets called away, and you buy it back on the next dip. The only negative here is the tax consequences of taking capital gains on the call-aways.
Q: You mentioned that the US has a demographic problem coming up; how will that affect the market in the short term?
A: It doesn't affect the market in the short term. Demographics are a long-term game. You have to think in terms of a generation being the round lot, which is about 20 years. Suffice it to say, when demographics go against you, like they did in Japan for 30 years, markets are horrible. Demographics are going against China now, and you're getting horrible markets. Demographics are good now in the US because we have millennials just entering their peak spending years, and that's when economies boom, and that should continue up to 2030. That is how to play demographics, and we keep updated here, although the government has suddenly ceased making available all demographic data to the public—I don't know why, but it's going to make the science of demographics much more difficult to follow without the government data. I don't know why they did that. I don't know what they hope to gain by clouding the demographic picture. Maybe it has to do with the allocation of congressional seats to the states or something like that.
Q: Do you have information on how to place a LEAPS order?
A: Just go to www.madhedgefundtrader.com, go to the search box, put in LEAPS in all caps, and you will find an encyclopedia of information on how to do LEAPS or Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities.

The Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader
Back in 1989, when I was setting up one of the first international hedge funds, I learned a timeless lesson about pharmaceutical stocks: the market doesn't care what you think it should care about—it cares about whatever it wants to care about.
That was on full display last week, as I watched Amgen (AMGN) dance its post-earnings tango and rally despite the FDA putting a mysterious hold on its obesity drug trials.
The stock’s move was exactly what its technical patterns suggested.
After managing hedge fund money for decades, I’ve seen literally millions of chart setups, and AMGN’s current formation is one of those rare “textbook” moments that make veteran traders sit up a little straighter in their ergonomic chairs.
The numbers paint a fascinating picture. Amgen isn’t just any biotech; it’s one of the dwindling few in the Dow 30 that still yield north of 3%. In this market, that’s about as rare as finding a bargain at Sotheby’s.
Better yet, it carries a dividend safety rating of A—something I’ve come to value above all else after living through multiple market crashes.
In my experience, dividend safety is the bedrock on which everything else is built, so seeing that in a company is like stumbling upon a bomb shelter with a view.
Digging deeper, the company just delivered a revenue beat that would make any analyst grin, but the real hook for me is the pattern of earnings revisions.
They’re trending up more than down, fueling a kind of momentum that reminds me of the early days of Genentech’s meteoric rise back in the 1980s.
Of course, there’s an elephant in the room: valuation.
With a D- grade in that department, Amgen’s price tag is about as stretched as my old climbing rope from Mount Everest. But modern markets aren’t your grandfather’s markets anymore.
The days of pure buy-and-hold being a guaranteed winning strategy have gone the way of paper trading tickets, replaced by algorithms and new trading paradigms.
This is why I like to employ what I call the "Triple-Lock Position" strategy.
Essentially, you buy the stock, buy a put for protection, and sell a call to offset that cost - three distinct moves that work together to lock in your risk parameters.
With Amgen hovering around $300, one round lot sets you back roughly $30,000. That price tag is a good reminder that position sizing matters more than ever.
From my hedge fund experience, steady cash flow and consistent profits often trump the promise of explosive growth, especially when storm clouds gather.
In volatile markets, companies that can reliably generate cash tend to outlast the flashier high-flyers.
Then there’s the technical angle. After analyzing enough charts to wallpaper the old Swiss Bank Corp building, I can say these trend lines have been as reliable as a Swiss watch.
Yes, we see the occasional short-term break, but it’s akin to a compass briefly pointing south before swinging back to true north.
For those who track this stuff closely, AMGN appears to be offering one of those rare situations where technical strength aligns with fundamental quality.
So what’s the play? I see Amgen as a “buy the dip” opportunity, but I suggest doing it with a twist. Instead of simply loading up on shares the old-fashioned way, consider collaring your position or using call options to define your risk.
Markets these days reward flexibility, and adapting your strategy to the current environment is crucial—something I learned during the Asian financial crisis, when clinging to outdated rules was a surefire path to disappointment.
All of this brings us back to that FDA hold on AMG 513. The market’s collective shrug reminds me of an old trading floor saying: “The market will decide what to worry about, not us.”
In biotech, as in most sectors, the reaction to news often reveals more than the news itself. Watching how investors brush off certain announcements can be more informative than pouring over the finer details.
Keep a close eye on those trend lines, because they’ve served as a pretty good compass so far. AMGN is showing the kind of setup where technical signals and strong fundamentals converge, and that rarely goes unnoticed for long.
Just remember, in the modern market, it’s not only about what you buy; it’s about how you buy it. The once-reliable buy-and-hold mindset is no more current than my old Financial Times columns from the 1970s.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to check on my option positions. The market waits for no one—not even old hedge fund traders with stories to tell.
