Elon Musk already made me a "wealthy man"

Dear Reader,

Dr. Mark Skousen here.

Elon Musk already made me about $800,000 richer.

Years ago, I got into a Tesla-heavy fund before anyone believed in him. Back when the "smart money" said electric cars were a joke. When the media was writing his obituary every other week.

I ignored them all. I trusted my research. I bet big.

That single bet turned into a near seven-figure position in under a decade.

Now I'm betting on Elon again – with SpaceX.

Bloomberg is calling the upcoming IPO "the biggest listing of ALL TIME." A $1.5 TRILLION valuation.

And after meeting Elon face-to-face at a private gathering of Wall Street elites, and throwing myself into my research, I'm convinced the announcement is coming soon.

March 26, 2026. That's my prediction.

I have an "access code" that lets you grab a pre-IPO stake before it happens.

I'd like to share it with you...

Elon already helped me make a small fortune. I believe he's about to do it again – for anyone smart enough to get in early.

Yours for peace, prosperity, and liberty, AEIOU,

P.S. I've bet on Elon before and won. Now I'm doubling down. Just click on this link to see how to join me.

Micron is one of those stocks that gets interesting precisely when the tape stops making it comfortable.

On the latest session, MU dropped to about $370.30, down 6.7%, even though the company remains one of the clearest public-market beneficiaries of the AI memory bottleneck.

That is why Micron is increasingly showing up on March watchlists.

Not because the stock is “cheap” in the sleepy old-tech sense.
And not because memory suddenly became defensive.

It is showing up because Micron sits at the intersection of two powerful forces:

That combination creates the exact kind of setup active traders care about.

If the selloff is mostly macro and sector rotation, Micron can become one of the cleanest rebound candidates in the market.
If the selloff is the beginning of a deeper re-rating of AI hardware and memory, then “great company” will not be enough in the short run.

That is the real frame.

The core reason Micron is a top March idea is simple:

HBM is no longer optional in AI infrastructure.

Micron’s December investor presentation made that explicit. The company said it has already completed agreements on price and volume for its entire calendar 2026 HBM supply, including its HBM4 roadmap. Micron also said it now expects the HBM market to expand from roughly $35 billion in 2025 to around $100 billion in 2028, with that milestone arriving two years earlier than its prior outlook.

That is an enormous statement.

It means Micron is not simply participating in AI demand. It is sitting inside one of the most supply-constrained layers of the stack.

And in semiconductors, scarcity plus fixed-price-and-volume contracts can radically change how a company earns money.

Historically, memory was one of the market’s most brutal businesses:

HBM changes that math because it shifts memory from commodity exposure toward strategic, high-value AI exposure.

That does not eliminate cyclicality. But it does change the quality of the cycle.

The easiest mistake in semis is calling something a “great AI story” when the financials have not caught up.

That is not Micron’s problem.

Micron’s fiscal Q1 2026 results were extremely strong:

Margins improved sharply too. Micron reported:

Those are not “recovery” numbers. Those are platform-level semiconductor numbers.

And the forward setup stayed aggressive.

Reuters reported Micron guided fiscal Q2 adjusted EPS to $8.42 ± $0.20 and revenue to $18.70B ± $400M, well above analyst expectations at the time. Reuters also noted Micron raised its fiscal 2026 capital expenditure plan to $20B to support booming AI demand.

That matters for one big reason:

The company is not just talking about AI demand.
It is scaling into it with real revenue, real cash flow, and real capex.

Micron’s quarterly business-unit results show how broad the upswing has become.

From the official Q1 release:

This is important because it shows the company is not riding a single product spike in isolation.

Yes, HBM is the flagship growth narrative.
But Micron is also benefiting from broader data-center demand, memory tightness, and a supply environment that management expects to stay constrained beyond 2026. Micron’s presentation explicitly said it expects tight conditions to persist beyond calendar 2026.

Reuters also quoted Micron management saying memory markets should remain tight past 2026, and that for some key customers Micron expects to meet only half to two-thirds of demand in the medium term.

That is not normal semiconductor commentary.

That is shortage commentary.

And shortage commentary changes earnings leverage.

This is where the deeper analysis starts.

Micron’s problem right now is not fundamentals.
It is positioning, competition, and macro stress.

Barron’s reported Micron was one of the year’s biggest tech winners before the latest risk-off break, up roughly 45% in 2026 before getting hit in the selloff.

That matters because leaders are usually the first source of cash when the market turns defensive.

Reuters has described a market increasingly shaped by geopolitical tension, oil shocks, and concern over inflation and rates. On one recent day, the Nasdaq fell while energy outperformed and investors worried about the growth impact of higher oil.

That is not the kind of regime where high-beta semiconductor winners get an easy pass.

Reuters reported that, based on Counterpoint data for Q3 2025, SK Hynix held 53% of the HBM market, Samsung 35%, and Micron 11%.

That statistic matters in two ways:

So the bear case is straightforward:

The bull case is just as clear:

That is why the stock is interesting right now.
Both cases can be argued honestly.

At roughly 21.7x earnings, Micron is not trading like the classic low-multiple memory stock of the past.

But that is exactly the point.

If Micron were still just a commodity memory company, the premium would look dangerous.
If Micron is becoming a structurally more strategic AI-memory supplier with sold-out HBM capacity and a multi-year tight-supply backdrop, then the valuation starts to make more sense.

This is where “old Micron” versus “new Micron” matters.

Old Micron:

New Micron:

The market is still deciding which version deserves the multiple.

That is why this pullback matters. It is the market’s way of stress-testing the “new Micron” thesis.

If you are trading this as an Active Trader Daily setup, the rule is simple:

Do not buy Micron because it fell. Buy it only if it starts acting better than the sector.

MU’s latest session range was wide:

That tells you the stock is in active price discovery, not quiet consolidation.

A real dip-buy setup would look like this:

The stock chops while the semiconductor complex stabilizes, but it does not show obvious relative-strength leadership. In that case, the trade may need more time.

MU loses the recent lows while tech remains under pressure and fails repeated VWAP reclaim attempts. That usually means institutions are still reducing exposure.

The point is not to predict the bottom.

The point is to wait for the tape to confirm that the stock is transitioning from “leader being sold” to “leader being re-accumulated.”

Micron’s selloff is mostly a macro/rotation event. Tech stabilizes, AI memory demand stays elite, and the market returns to the cleanest earnings-leverage story in semis. In that case, MU becomes one of the first quality rebound names.

Micron remains fundamentally strong, but the stock enters a digestion phase after a huge run. It trades sideways while investors wait for the March 18 earnings call and updated commentary around HBM, supply, and margins.

The market decides the AI memory trade is crowded, competition intensifies, and Micron’s premium multiple needs to compress even if business conditions stay solid. In that case, the stock may need a longer reset before the next sustained leg.

Here is the clean framework.

Micron is a top March idea not because it is safe, but because it sits at the center of one of the most important semiconductor questions in the market:

Is memory now a structurally better AI business, or is the market still overpaying for what is ultimately a cyclical upturn?

That is the real debate.

If MU starts holding VWAP on pullbacks and outperforming its semiconductor peers after this shakeout, traders may be looking at one of the cleanest confirmation dip buys in the AI complex.

If it keeps lagging even with elite fundamentals, then the message is different:
the stock may still be digesting gains, and the market is not ready to reward “great numbers” automatically.

Micron’s March case is powerful because the fundamental story is unusually strong:

That is why the stock remains one of the most important semiconductor names to watch right now.

The business is not the weak part.

The question is whether the broader tech selloff is creating a high-quality entry—or simply forcing even elite AI winners to cool off before the next move.

Near-conclusion CTA: watch whether MU can reclaim VWAP, defend recent lows, and begin outperforming the broader chip complex ahead of its March 18 earnings report. If that confirmation appears, the March pullback may be the setup—not the warning. Preparation beats prediction.
