I remember when publicly traded firms could just say the word “cloud” and their stock price would surge.

See "AI" now. Round and round we go.

Can the next investor buzzword come around and pop the bubble please.

they're trying to replace that with "AI", it doesn't seem to be having the same effect, fortunately

No, I don't...because Square Enix's stock has kinda not been doing anything for awhile. :p

lol...that isn't how it works. publicly traded firms don't control their stock price. Wall St. actors do.

The price isn't surging because they said "cloud". That's just how its being explained to people who don't understand how the market works. Its the same with Ai. Those prices are moving where they are because someone needs them to move where they are. The news stories are just bullshit cover.
