Bottlenecks could be 'healthy thing' for Big Tech, says Gabelli's John Belton

• Strong fundamental trends in cloud and digital advertising, with significant AI monetization (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI revenue doubling).
• Supply chain constraints and bottlenecks (like higher memory prices) are seen as healthy for the industry, governing the pace of expansion and preventing overbuilding.
• Investors should focus on CapEx plans for next year, particularly where investments are directed (ROI use cases vs. speculative R&D).
• Amazon (AMZN) is highlighted as a company with strong cloud acceleration, but with pre-traded expectations and potential short-term margin concerns due to fuel costs.

While expectations are high, he remains optimistic about the sector's fundamentals.
