Both trend sentiment and market sentiment are positive, but the price level is elevated. 3. Both trend sentiment and market sentiment are negative, but the price level is depressed.

| 20 (7) We're starting a position in a chip designer poised to roar in the era of AI agents Historically, Arm didn't manufacture any semiconductors; it designed them and licensed those designs to customers like Nvidia , Amazon , and Apple . Typically, Arm makes its money in two ways: first, customers pay Arm a licensing fee for the right to use its intellectual property and designs. Once those customers produce chips of their own, Arm collects a royalty fee on every semiconductor that gets made using their technology — usually a fixed percentage of the chip's selling price, although they offer discounts at higher volumes.
