"People selling chip stocks seem to be captured by very short term thinking," Gerber said in a post on X.

He picked out NVIDIA Corp . (NASDAQ: NVDA ), Micron Technology Inc . (NASDAQ: MU ) and Broadcom Inc . (NASDAQ: AVGO ), three companies at the center of the artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout, as stocks he believes were attractive following the recent pullback.
