AI is a bit (a lot, actually) different than everything else on the list. They have zero path to profitability, use energy and water in staggering and unsustainable numbers, flout every law and ethics rule they can find to get training data, and pollute the web with generated garbage to the point that some sites are becoming worthless.

I don't live on my phone, or the net, and I don't use social media...and can easily live without AI. 🤷🏻‍♂️
AI at present is still morphing, into what; no one knows. It more or less of what can we automate or in this case make it AI and then put it out in the wild and make adjustments as needed without thinking of future ramifications.

Oh, yeah, yeah… “this time it’s different,” right? ;)
You’re literally repeating the same lines people used during every major shift before this.

You can opt out personally, sure, but that has nothing to do with where the world is heading.
Living off the grid doesn’t pause progress or its impact on everyone else.

Yes! We're in a bubble. Yes! It will pop. Yes! People will lose money but you won't because you're smart enough to set a stop-loss on all of your AI investments and you've convinced yourself to cash out when you're investments hit that golden number.

I was generally wondering what's the stop loss gonna help if a stock crashes a whole lot after hours or over the weekend - if it's then selling my position off at market opening and thus probably at the worst time - that's not gonna help much, is it? I've been in nVidia through the last three and a half years and that's one hell of a nervous stock - sometimes even from one day to the next. Something like a 5 percent gain or loss that would make the news for most stocks is not even all that noteworthy with this one.

Anyway, sold it all off now - 'Deep seek' and 'Liberation day' have shown how quickly and far it can fall and those weren't even so much as probing the bubble.
 
"Nvidia today became the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market capitalisation..."

Well, being friendly with Microsoft/Windows helps in the long run...There are billions of Windows computers with NVIDIA all over the world. And, being friendly with Intel also helps, rather than abandoning a friend who once saved you.
 
And when, not if, when the AI bubble bursts, it will get cut in half within a few days. They are way way way overvalued...

If you're worried about losing your investment, it's not a bad idea to take some profit in case the bubble does burst, maybe that $13,908.88 + capital gains tax. Also, it's good not to depend on that wealth so much that you're worried about what people say to you. For many reasons, there could be an end in sight, but that's still nearly a 14x increase

Not for any individual investors like you, but I really hope that bubble does burst; it's not good for the vast majority of people, and they're deeply tied with genocidal nations, from Israel to Congo, conflict minerals policies notwithstanding.
I don't see Nvidia losing momentum any time soon. the opposite in fact. Sure, there will be a bubble, but I invest in equities with a 5-7 year timeline, and don't need any of that money for ongoing expenses. It's in my IRA in fact.

The head of NVIDIA holds dual Taiwanese and American citizenship. Isn't that interesting?
The Chairman of TSMC is also Taiwanese.
The head of Intel is a Malaysian Chinese, a naturalised U.S. citizen.
The head of AMD was born in Taiwan, and also a naturalised U.S. citizen.
The co-founders of Yahoo and YouTube were also from Taiwan.

Interesting?

So many bears on this site, wow. Just waiting for the AI bubble to pop! When in fact, NVDA is the best value amongst Magnificent 7 stocks right now. My username has been this stock because it let me retire in my mid 30s. Still holding a substantial amount. Stop being so closed minded, people. These same people probably have been buying money market funds and dividend stocks while the market continues to rip to all time highs.

My portfolio has tracked the market this entire year, without either of those catagores.

So no, you don't "got it".
Only on par with the market? That's not good. I'm over triple the S&P 500 YTD. Step up your game and expand on your competencies.
 
Aaaah back to 2008 when the AI bubble
Pops….. 😔
Worse. The AI bubble will pop slower, because it’s bigger. But it will be hell. An underrated component of the AI bubble is all of these companies laying off workers, DESPITE record profit. This is not sustainable. The underlying economy is absolutely crumbling, while AI keeps it floating. Foundation is evaporating. AI spending has passed consumer spending FFS, and that’s usually about 2/3 of the economy.

Naa, I'm good.

As I said earlier, I don't personally invest and can't be bothered.

No, not really?

What is interesting?
 
Apple is pumping out its own artificial intelligence servers, and the first units started shipping out this month. It is unlikely that Apple will compete with Nvidia in the server market because its servers are designed for internal use.
I'm old enough to remember Xserves (even the PowerPC ones), so I'd find it so interesting to see what Apple could do with Apple Silicon. Considering how small the various Apple motherboards are, I'm curious to see what Apple could do with blade servers specifically.
 
This.

Also, the predicted AI "Bubble Burst" is an interesting take. We are just in the infancy stages with AI. In 5-10 years from now it will basically be involved with almost everything we do.

Spot-on.

It's interesting here in that just about everything is clobbered down into the drain of negativity. By people who don't have the background and experience to make those judgments. Apple, and its outstanding performance under Cook's leadership creating products people love to purchase, is a great example.

It's not interesting until you tell us your point? What is it, that Taiwan and Indo-Pacific companies lead the world in manufacturing the high tech products the rest of the world relies on? Or that Jensen Huang and his naturalized colleagues are any less American than you? Get to it and tell us. Because I think America's anti-immigrant policies are creating a brain drain in that very sector! A new $100,000 per head price on new H-1B visa petitions (up from $4,000) pretty much assures that we will see fewer tech geniuses and even doctors (America relies on them, since we don't graduate enough internally) will be arriving on our shores, adding to America's wealth and culture! Anyone who has read Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" understands this.

What you said. Is Cook a visionary ala Jobs? No. Is he a far better businessman? Yes.
