Crypto

[strife]

Actually a company like Nvidia is not a bad way to hop on the Crypto train without actually buying something like bitcoin directly.  A lot of their performance in years past has been fueled by demand from Crypto mining for GPU's.

And a lot of their current outlook is driven by AI/GenAI tailwinds which also is reliant on GPU power.

Still quite a bit of Hype, but still something tangible underpinning it.

Is it getting into balloon territory? Maybe.  But the AI/GenAI momentum is real - not that dissimilar to what took hold with Y2K.  Hopefully that doesn't lead to a similar crash that we had post Y2K but either way, we still have some room I think before that becomes a real threat.

And the gov't could decide that they want to heavily regulate Crypto and kill the market... and heavily regulate AI and kill the market there as well.  

If you want NVidia, find a mutual fund that buys into Nvidia.  

I don't buy single stocks(at least not publicly traded single stocks), but I have a considerable amount of money in Google, Apple, Nvidia, GE, Exxon, Microsoft etc... through mutual funds.  

It's just too big of a risk to seriously invest in it.  If someone wants to throw like 2% of their investments into a single stock... fine, I wouldn't hate them for it.  I just think it's bad advice to tell someone to go put 10% of their net worth in a single stock.
