  "account": "Tech stocks have been declining for three weeks, with the Nasdaq-100 Index dropping 3.5% on Friday. Intel's stock plummeted 29% after the chipmaker forecast lower earnings for the current quarter than expected. Google's market value decreased by $500 billion in one trading day as the company's investments in AI infrastructure have yet to generate sufficient cash flows. Despite concerns that tech companies' AI investments may not pay off quickly, the author believes the market uncertainty is primarily linked to the upcoming US midterm elections and expects a rebound in tech stocks soon.",
