This one's been partying since late 2022, and honestly, it's showing no signs of stopping. Let's talk numbers because they're pretty wild. The S&P 500 crushed it in 2025 with an 18% gain, hitting all-time highs. The Nasdaq? Up 22.3%. Even the Dow—that old-school index everyone's grandpa watches—climbed 14.5%.

Remember when everyone thought Nvidia had an unbreakable stranglehold on AI chips? Yeah, about that.

Here's the setup: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy dropped his 2025 shareholder letter, and in it, he basically said, "Hey, we've been spending billions on AI infrastructure, and now we're about to show you ...
