If Seize the Day was a Company: Nvidia’s Formidable RiseUnhinged demand for Nvidia’s AI chips bumped the company’s valuation to $2 trillion, adding half of that in less than four months. Read how it happened. Table of Contents Genesis Compiling Speedrun Benchmark Spillover Overclock Much? Rage Quit More Players Exit Wild Rivals Appeared! Runtime Genesis It’s a crisp, sunny morning in 1993. You’re at your local diner in Silicon Valley, casually sipping your coffee and waiting for your meal. At the table next to you, three engineers are cranking on caffeine and dreaming up a gig that would end up changing not only their lives, but also usher in a new era of computing. It’s the three founders of a company called Nvidia (ticker: NVDA ). A business-savvy 30-year-old Oregon graduate Jensen Huang, hardware savant Chris Malachowsky and software geek Curtis Priem spun up the business more than 30 years ago. Together, they set up their venture in a bid to bring 3D graphics to the gaming space. Compiling Today, the thriving company is doing much more than that. Nvidia, which traces its humble origins back to a Denny’s diner, is now the backbone of the artificial intelligence revolution. Nvidia was for a long time shoved into the deeper corners of the gaming space and was barely known to the public. For most of its existence, it’s been making graphics cards, which are used by gamers, crypto miners, plain PC users and professionals from various industries. The company’s booming business line right now is AI chips—hardware pieces essential for training large language models, the type that underpins systems like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.  AI chips have also underpinned another side of Nvidia—they’ve touched off a monster rally in its share price. Enough to catapult its valuation to the Top 3 of America’s biggest companies , right after iPhone maker Apple and software heavyweight Microsoft. Speedrun It took just about 24 years for Nvidia to step into the exclusive $1 trillion club, having started trading as a public company in 1999 at a $625 million valuation. Then in the span of just four months—November 2023 through February 2024—Nvidia added its second trillion, largely thanks to its timely expansion from its flagship products to the powerful AI chips. Now, Nvidia is comfortably sitting in the Top 5 of the world’s largest companies . “A whole new industry is being formed, and that’s driving our growth,” chief executive Jensen Huang told shareholders right after the company published jaw-dropping 265% revenue growth for the final quarter of 2023. The chip darling picked up $22.1 billion in sales, up from $6.05 billion a year ago. Profits swell to more than $12 billion. Source: Stock Analysis Benchmark The earnings release fueled a never-before-seen $277-billion boost to the chip maker's valuation. It was the biggest one-day gain in history of the stock market, surpassing Meta’s recent $204.5 billion pump . On the second day after the December-quarter financials were published, Nvidia went on to soar above $2 trillion in value with shares changing hands at more than $800 a pop. Not only that, but the AI trailblazer’s report jolted markets so much it set off a buying spree on a global scale. Spillover In the US, the broad-based S&P 500 index notched an all-time high, joined in record territory by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In Japan, the diverse Nikkei index broke out to a fresh record after 34 years of languishing performance. Nvidia’s magnificent rise has propelled Huang’s personal fortune to roughly $70 billion, a reflection of his 86.6 million shares, or 3.6% of the company. Is it time for an attire upgrade away from the black leather jacket? Shares of the company more than tripled in 2023 and pumped over 60% for the first two months of 2024. Jensen Huang wearing his signature leather jacket—an outfit picked by his wife and daughter. Source: nvidianews.nvidia.com Overclock Much? The fundamentals behind the company’s breakneck growth are undoubtedly real. Demand for Nvidia’s most advanced GPUs, called H100s, is so big the chips are being delivered in armored trucks. Each one of them weighs about 290 lbs (130 kg) and will set you back about $30,000 if you’re lucky to get one. With that said, supply isn’t too loose with Nvidia holding about 80% of that market. What’s more, a new, more powerful H200 chip will be hitting the market in the second quarter of this year. So what does this mean for the unstoppable rally? Analysts are quick to say that as long as Nvidia maintains its tight grip over supply, outweighing demand should continue to drive the up-only narrative. Presently, Nvidia has the capacity to develop about 1.2 million AI-focused chips a year, far insufficient to meet the insatiable demand. To illustrate, Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg popped on Instagram to brag about his plans of securing 350,000 units of that good H100 stuff by the end of 2024. Besides the Facebook parent, Nvidia’s biggest customers are Microsoft, Google and ChatGPT owner OpenAI. Rage Quit The stampede by investors rushing to buy up stock wouldn’t be complete if it weren’t for the naysayers and doom-and-gloom forecasters. You’d be surprised to see who is on that list of permabears, slamming the chip maker and getting their short positions ready to fire. Or already fired. Following Nvidia’s post-earnings explosion, short sellers were left nursing paper losses in excess of $3 billion. Staring at giant drawdowns might sting just as badly as missing out the ride. Disruptive-tech investor Cathie Wood, CEO of investment firm ARK, said in 2023 that Nvidia was “ priced ahead of the curve .” By the end of the year, Wood had offloaded a stake worth more than $100 million. Estimations point that this early leave may be equal to more than $500 million in missed-out profits. There are other notable names in the investment space who got rid of—or heavily trimmed—their Nvidia shares by the end of last year. (Hedge funds and other investment managers who oversee at least $100 million are required to disclose their holdings in public companies each quarter through a form called 13F.) More Players Exit In its 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, George Soros’s family office Soros Capital had completely exited Nvidia in the third quarter, selling shares worth $4.9 million. Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller’s family office held 875,000 shares of Nvidia going into 2023’s third quarter. By the end of the fourth quarter, that hefty stash had been reduced by roughly 40%. Druckenmiller still owns some $300 million in Nvidia shares and even scooped up call options with a notional value of $242 million. The sellers’ argument wraps around the heavily cyclical nature of chip demand. While in good times there’s euphoria and chip companies triumph, they could also be prone to setbacks once the tide turns. A fresh example from Nvidia’s recent performance is the 60% drop in its share price in the time span April through September 2022. Nvidia's share price endured a 60% drop between April and September 2022. Wild Rivals Appeared! Competitors from the hardware corner of the economy don’t sit idle while Nvidia goes on an all-out expansion mission. Advanced Micro Devices (ticker: AMD ) is already selling chips similar to the H100s and projects revenue to land at $3.5 billion in 2024. If that number is met, or even doubles, it still will be a blip compared with Nvidia’s $100 billion full-year revenue Wall Street expects. SoftBank-backed Arm Holdings (ticker: ARM ), whose stock is just as volatile , is in the AI race too. So is Intel (ticker: INTC ) — the US tech mainstay makes and sells chips that power generative AI software. Nvidia, meanwhile, is busy taking steps to try and cement its dominance in the AI space. It’s already in talks with big tech giants such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google over developing custom chips. Meanwhile, all three are manufacturing their own chips. Runtime The big question lingering on everyone’s mind is when will that dizzying AI boom come to a halt or at least pause for breath? Nvidia’s formidable rally, fueled by the rush for graphics processors, is the very definition of what seizing the day means. What’s a reason that may extend this run? One reason is that the company keeps adding blockbuster earnings quarter in and quarter out. A second one—Nvidia will need to find a way to work together with tech giants seeking to cut into the AI business. And thirdly, all that effort should eventually pay off by laying out the infrastructure that will foster the much-anticipated AI-driven productivity gain.

$TAO next stop $1000?I called out GETTEX:TAO at $250 on Feb 4. Since then it ran to $700 and has pulled back and consolidated between about $550 - $625. The chart has formed and if the market continues to move I think there is a chance the buyers come in to run this to 4-figures. This is entirely dependent on the market not nuking - but with the intense, likely institutional BTC buying over the past 48 hours and many retail investors sidelined with little exposure I think a full meltdown is unlikely. We also need the equity markets to stay hot - thats a different story in and of itself.

WDAY, this software company reports today LONGWDAY provides software for large enterprises; it reports Monday the 26th after market hours. On the 15-minute chart, it is surging. A recent news catalyst was an upgrade to a target of $ 350. My call options went double digits from a buy on Friday the 23rd at the opening bell. This looks like a good one for earnings scalping whether it is with shares or a call option. (The $320 call option for 3/1 is up 42% so far since the morning open). WDAY is part of the AI trend; the real question is how much AI integration is built out at this time and what is waiting for design and testing before deployment.

Google Stock Slips As it Grapples With Al Tool CriticismGoogle ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) introduced the image generator earlier this month through Gemini, the company’s main suite of AI models. The tool allows users to enter prompts to create an image. Over the past week, users discovered historical inaccuracies and questionable responses, which have circulated widely on social media. “We have taken the feature offline while we fix that,” Hassabis said Monday during a panel at the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona. “We are hoping to have that back online very shortly in the next couple of weeks, few weeks.” He added that the product was not “working the way we intended.” Alphabet ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) shares fell almost 4% on Monday to $138.51 as of early afternoon. The controversy follows a high-profile rebrand Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) announced this month when it changed the name of its chatbot and rolled out a fresh app and new subscription options. The chatbot and assistant formerly known as Bard, a chief competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, is now called Gemini, the same name as the suite of AI models that power the chatbot. Here are some examples of what went wrong. When one user asked Gemini to show a German soldier in 1943, the tool depicted a racially diverse set of soldiers wearing German military uniforms of the era, according to screenshots on social media platform X. When asked for a “historically accurate depiction of a medieval British king,” the model generated another racially diverse set of images, including one of a woman ruler, screenshots show. Users reported similar outcomes when they asked for images of the U.S. founding fathers, an 18th-century king of France, a German couple in the 1800s and more. The model showed an image of Asian men in response to a query about Google’s own founders, users reported. “The Gemini debacle showed how AI ethics *wasn’t* being applied with the nuanced expertise necessary,” Margaret Mitchell, chief ethics scientist at Hugging Face and former co-leader of Google’s AI ethics group, wrote on X. “It demonstrates the need for people who are great at creating roadmaps given foreseeable use.” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai is shouldering some of the blame. Pichai highlighted the firm’s commitment to AI during the company’s latest earnings call and said he eventually wants to offer an AI agent that can complete more tasks on a user’s behalf, including within Google Search. He said at the time that there is “a lot of execution ahead.” The latest problems with Gemini have reignited a debate within the AI industry, with some groups calling Gemini too “woke,” or left-leaning, and others saying that the company didn’t sufficiently invest in the right forms of AI ethics. Google came under fire in 2020 and 2021 for ousting the co-leads of its AI ethics group after they published a research paper critical of certain risks of such AI models and then later reorganizing the group’s structure. The controversy isn’t limited to Gemini’s image generator. On Sunday, a text-based user query went viral, asking the Gemini chatbot whether Adolf Hitler or Elon Musk’s tweeting of memes had a greater negative impact on society. “It is difficult to say definitively who had a greater negative impact on society, Elon Musk or Hitler, as both have had significant negative impacts in different ways,” Gemini responded. “Elon Musk’s tweets have been criticized for being insensitive, harmful, and misleading.” The model later added, “Hitler, on the other hand, was responsible for the deaths of millions of people during World War II.” Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) said in a statement Wednesday that it’s working to fix Gemini’s image-generation issues, acknowledging that the tool was “missing the mark.” The following day, the company announced it would immediately “pause the image generation of people” and “re-release an improved version soon.” Google ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) is investing heavily to push its AI work into the realm of AI assistants or agents, a term often used to describe tools ranging from chatbots to coding assistants and other productivity tools. AI agents could eventually schedule a group hangout by scanning calendars to ensure there are no conflicts, book travel and activities, buy presents for loved ones or perform a specific job function such as outbound sales. Currently, the tools are largely limited to tasks such as summarizing, generating to-do lists or helping to write code. Google’s ( NASDAQ:GOOG ) Gemini changes are a first step to “building a true AI assistant,” Sissie Hsiao, a vice president at Google and general manager for Google Assistant and Bard, told reporters on a call earlier this month.

The company has a healthy balance sheet and not a Johnnie Com-elately. As a megacap it does not move fast but it is as steady as it gets. Not to be in the headlines with ARM, PLTR, GOOG, MSFT and a whole bunch of others, it makes its money the old fashioned way it earns it keeping its legions of subscribers productive with its products and the support of them. On the 240 minute chart, I have shown price action cycling through a slow trend up and then a breakdown through the VWAP bands. Price is now reversing with a signal firing on the mass index indicator. The first target is 590 at the mean VWAP bandline while others are 615 and 640. In many ways software companies like PLTR and MSFT are hotter than Super Micro-Computers ASML and the semi-conductors. I need more software companies in my deployed plays. ABDE is setup for a trade up and I will take a long trade of stocks and some call options.

The AI Crypto Boom: Is This the Beginning of a New Era?2023 has witnessed a significant surge in AI-related cryptocurrencies . This boom can be partly attributed to the explosive growth of NVIDIA (NVDA) stock, a leader in the graphics processing unit (GPU) industry, which are used to train AI models. Factors Driving the Growth NVDA's Rise: NVDA's price has been on a tear, forming a bullish manipulative pattern. This bullish trend has inspired investors to have similar expectations for AI-related coins. AMD's Accumulation-Manipulation-Distribution Pattern: AMD is not a competitor of NVDA in this context, but rather an example of a successful "accumulation - manipulation - breakout" pattern. This pattern is characterized by a period of accumulation, where investors slowly buy up a coin, followed by a period of manipulation, where the price is artificially inflated, and finally a breakout, where the price rises sharply due to increased demand. Effect on Other Coins: The bullish trend in NVDA and the successful breakout of AMD's accumulation-manipulation-breakout pattern have led to a surge in AI-related coins such as RNDR, THETA, NEAR, and FET. A Look at Promising Coins: RNDR: Render Network utilizes a decentralized network for 3D graphics and video rendering. The rise of the metaverse could potentially drive demand for RNDR's services. THETA: Theta Labs aims to revolutionize video streaming by providing a decentralized content delivery network. The growth of streaming content could make THETA an attractive investment. NEAR: NEAR Protocol is a smart contract platform focused on scalability and speed. The growth of decentralized applications (dApps) could make NEAR a valuable choice. FET: Fetch.ai is developing a decentralized network for exchanging data and machine learning models. The growth of AI could increase demand for FET's services. Important Considerations: The cryptocurrency market is volatile and unpredictable. It is crucial to conduct your own research before investing in any coin. This article is not financial advice. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Conclusion AI-related cryptocurrencies are experiencing impressive growth. While it is impossible to say for certain whether this is the beginning of a new era, the possibilities of AI in the crypto space are worth considering. However, it is important to conduct thorough research and understand the associated risks before investing.

Match Group (MTCH) About to Take OffI generally don't look at 3M charts, nor do I ever have this many indicators on my charts... BUT they're all aligning - pair that up with an OpenAI partnership and there's no where but up from here. Match Group is the company behind Tinder, Match, Hinge and a total of 40ish relationship apps - I'll breakdown my theory as simple as possible... I can realistically see a 10x+ out of this. AI = Job Cuts = More OF Girls = Bigger Female Egos = Desperate Guys = Pay-to-Date Then, eventually, the lines between a female and AI will blur...but we have time on that.

SOGP looks for trader capitulation SOGP is a company in the AI subsector focused on voice to text and vice-versa with the twist of between different languages marketing itself internationally as a penny stock with great potential upside. If a trader on a low budget wants AI exposure for high potential profit if patient this one may be better than PLTR because it is a value at a lower price per share and has not surged already like PLTR. This is similar from SOUN. On the 120 minute chart, SOGP had a big pop and then a slow fade. The volume has disappeared as quickly as it came. A descending and falling wedge pattern is seen. SOGP did 100% in a day and could do it again in the unpredictable near term future. I will take a long trade in SOGP and hold it for inevitable pop again.

The "Next Pivot" AI indicator suggests a hard uptrend heading into earnings. The RSI indicator shows both fast and slow lines under the 50 level. Based on everything here knowing earnings are coming ;they likely will be good with the AI indictor predicting a 7-8% jump in the run up to earnings. I am fairly smart but well aware not so much compared with the predictive modeling of an AI indicator with its lookback and pattern matching routines. I will take a long trade here confident that the risk has been somewhat mitigated by an AI indicator, industry trending and the chart itself.

Market Update - February 22, 2024 Increase in demand for spot bitcoin ETFs pushes BTC price to its highest level since December 2021: A record $2.5B flowed into bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, with BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC attracting $1.6B and $648M over the past week respectively. These growing inflows suggest demand is heightening for spot-based ETFs, and if this trend continues, investors could be eyeing new all-time highs for BTC later this year. Ether hits a short lived $3K amidst market speculation on an incoming ETH ETF approval: Ether (ETH) rose through the $3K mark for the first time since April 2022 as traders bet on the possibility of a spot ETH exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval in the U.S., a move that could significantly boost institutional appeal. Despite the swift pull back to the $2.9K level, the medium term outlook for ETH looks promising amidst market speculation on an ETH ETF approval with Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, Fidelity, Ark and 21Shares, Grayscale, VanEck, Invesco and Galaxy, and Hashdex having all submitted applications for an ETH ETF. AI-based crypto projects trend higher as NVDA becomes the third-most-valuable publicly traded company: Nvidia (NVDA), a world leader in artificial intelligence computing, outperformed Amazon (AMZN) and Google parent Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) last week, making it the third-most-valuable publicly traded company in the world. NVDA also posted strong earnings results Wednesday. Related to this news, interest in AI-based crypto projects was high this week, with Render (RNDR) and Akash Network (AKT) trading at record highs. OpenAI launches Sora, spurring interest in WLD, which saw a near 250% increase in the trading of its token: OpenAI’s launch of Sora, a text-to-video tool, appears to have encouraged trading in Worldcoin (WLD), the controversial crypto project that is also spearheaded by Sam Altman. Following the launch of WLD in 2023, Kenya suspended enrollments, and Hong Kong and French officials opened investigations into the project over privacy concerns. Investors seemed undeterred, despite these concerns, with the token trading up almost 250% from the start of the month to an all-time high of $8 on Monday. China battles back against weakening economic growth with key rate cut: Despite a ban on crypto trading and mining in 2021, Chinese investors have historically made up a significant portion of the overall crypto market. China’s increasingly accommodative economic policies, including the recent reduction in the five-year loan prime rate this week, will be important to watch as it could impact local Chinese investors’ attitudes towards crypto. 🤖 Topic of the Week: The Convergence of AI and Crypto 👉 Read more here
