Fundament and vision over hard data ? NASDAQ:NVDA NASDAQ:TSLA
Taking a quick look at the two technological giants, we could say that NVIDIA´s massively beating Tesla in a straight line. Not only Tesla, but the whole market´s badly beaten by this huge company.
NVIDIA earned around 186% YTD . On the other hand Tesla is down around 29% YTD.
DATA
Current biggest company of the world, which NVIDIA has became few days ago, has been reporting amazing data throughout the year. Huge sales, incredible earnings and breathtaking margins !
On the other hand, Tesla´s reported the worst numbers since the meeting held in June 2023. There are many factors that have affected the numbers of these companies. Especially the uncertainty about China, the EV price war in Chinese market and the impact of tariffs imposed by US and EU on EVs. Moreover AI boom and demand for chips helped NVIDIA to rise.
RECAP
Tesla reported:
Revenue: $21.3 billion
Net Income: $1.13 billion
EPS: $0.34
Tesla's revenue and net income declined significantly compared to Q1 2023
NVIDIA reported:
Revenue: $26.0 billion
Net Income: $14.88 billion
EPS: $0.61
However there are many questions to be answered. Are Nvidia´s margins sustainable in long-term ? What if demand for chips decreases ? What if long-awaited AI bubble bursts one day ?
I highlighted with vertical lines on the graph reaction of these two stocks after last earnings reported:
1. Tesla stopped his downward plunge and stabilized between 170 and 190.
2. NVIDIA has rocketed upward
Is it all about key numbers ?
In my opinion investors still react wisely on incoming data and many of them rely on it. However other factors can move the price such as fundament, management and CEOs and their visions.
It´s the vision of Elon Musk that keeps Tesla at its current valuations. He tries to persuade stakeholders and potential investors that company is more than EV maker. He talks about software company aiming wider like building artificial intelligence, robo taxi and AI for all of us and around us.
It´s nothing new, Tesla´s basically built entirely on Elon´s vision. So far it´s paying off. Until when ? Don´t take me wrong. I´m a fan of Elon´s visions and hopefully they manage to make it true. It seems to be long run, BUT THAT´S INVESTING !
NVIDIA seems to have less persuasive vision and investors rely more on key financial numbers and definitely some of them just have jumped on trend leading by AI boom.
Who will be a winner in long-term ? We could only guess. However proofs speak clear, NVIDIA is one and only winner in battlefield.
What´s your strategy in long-term investing ? Are you "fundamental guy" , "vision guy" or "data guy " ? Or do you look at it as a whole thing ?

Let´s talk about it
Nvidia
Nvidia - How high is too high?Nvidia (NVDA) continues to defy gravity, hitting $140 in pre-market trading today.
This translates to:
A 23% increase in June alone
A 55% increase in Q2
A staggering 184% increase since the beginning of the year
A 225% year-to-date (YTD) surge
These are the kinds of figures we've come to expect from Nvidia, making even impressive YTD gains of 27% by companies like Microsoft look pedestrian. Nvidia's rise has also propelled it to the top of the market cap rankings, becoming the world's most valuable publicly traded company.
The Question of Sustainability
The burning question is, can this growth be sustained?
So far, Nvidia has the numbers to back it up. The company has already generated more EBITDA this year than in all of FY2023. While its Price/Earnings Growth (PEG) ratio of 1.55 suggests a slight overvaluation, and has been increasing steadily for a year, it remains below the PEG ratios of multi-trillion-dollar peers like Microsoft and Apple.
Technical Indicators Flashing Green
The technical indicators also paint a bullish picture. The stock is well above its short-, mid-, and long-term moving averages, indicating strong momentum. The recent surge in volume further confirms heightened investor interest.
The Bias and Sentiment Strength (BASS) Indicator, a composite tool created by @mattzab combining several technical indicators, also flashes a strong buy signal for Nvidia. (For a detailed explanation, see this page: ).
The Road Ahead: Smooth Sailing or Bumpy Ride?
The big question is whether we'll see a soft landing, a minor pullback, or a significant dip. This will depend on how many investors decide to take profits and the speed at which they do so. A rapid sell-off would likely be triggered by a sudden collapse in the "AI hype" or if companies find themselves unable to effectively utilize their new AI chips, or their efforts to capitalize on LLMs fail.
It's still early days in the AI boom, but parallels have already been drawn with the dot-com bubble which many investors are old enough to remember. It took Apple more than 5 years after the crash to reach its dot-com peak, and Microsoft needed more than 14 years. While there is no looking back for these stocks now, one shouldn't forget that Cisco, which was regarded as a crucial internet infrastructure provider at the turn of the century, never reached its dotcom peak again. But then again, past market crashes do not guarantee future losses, or how did the saying go again?
For now, the status quo remains: everyone is bullish as long as everyone else is bullish as well.
As always, stay vigilant out there!
BTC vs NVDA Fractal 📈📉Hi Traders, Investors and Speculators of Charts📈
Fractals are a helpful way to identify how markets have previously moved. When identifying a similar pattern, it can be useful to speculate future potential price action.
In my previous updates, I've mentioned the two scenarios that I foresee for BTC after reaching a new ATH. The one was a correction, and the other was range trading until after the halving. Find the previous Bitcoin post here:
When we compare BTC to how Nvidia has been moving, we see a very similar corrective pattern play out, followed by a steep increase. Then, after a period of sideways/range trading on NVDA, the price continues to even higher highs as it increases parabolically. Could we possible see something similar on Bitcoin? I think it's worth keeping an eye on this fractal and expect some boring price action for a while on BTC.

World's Top Companies: Who’s in the Exclusive $1T Club & Beyond?But wait, it gets even more exclusive than a mere $1 trillion! There’s a $2 trillion club with just a single player and a super-duper hyper-elite ultra club of $3 trillion. Can you name the participants?
Being part of the world’s biggest companies isn’t easy. It may look easy — these corporate giants gain billions of dollars in market cap before you make your morning cup of coffee (especially if you’re drowsy after a late-night options trading action).
In this Idea, we look at the dynamic docket of the world's most expensive companies, neatly stacked up in the TradingView Top companies list .
The world has never seen so much money concentrated in a few select companies. Fun fact: all of them had humble beginnings like starting out of a garage and trying to get clients through cold calling — but ended up changing the world with things like the iPhone.
Today, a total of seven companies are worth $1 trillion or more each and three of them boast a valuation of over $3 trillion each. Can you guess the common theme across all? It starts with “A” and ends with “I”.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been popping these stocks to record highs for months now. And there’s no sign of slowing down the insane growth. All of these companies, except for one that’s not based in the US, are listed in the broad-based S&P 500 index and make up about 30% of its total weight. Can you spot them in the S&P 500 Stock Heatmap ?
Note that all numbers and rankings are measured by the companies' performances through mid-June of this year.
Let’s roll!
1. 🧩 Microsoft (ticker: MSFT )
Microsoft is the world’s most valuable company worth a staggering $3.289 trillion. The software maker quickly swooped in to lead the AI race by backing ChatGPT parent OpenAI . It has invested $13 billion in the startup.
Microsoft’s growth is largely driven by the adoption of AI across its product suite. Artificial intelligence-powered assistants such as Microsoft Copilot can operate without human intervention or direct commands, making companies’ lives easier and more productive.
💰 Market Cap : $3.289 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $211.91 billion (2023)
👶 How It Started : Microsoft's first major deal was with IBM in 1980. They developed the operating system for IBM's new computer, which they named PC DOS. The deal was worth $50,000.
2. 🧩 Apple (ticker: AAPL )
Apple has entered the chat. The iPhone maker just recently figured out how to play catch up in the AI race after doing virtually nothing for a year. Apple Intelligence — the company’s response to AI — got investors excited about the future growth prospects of iPhone sales and overall revenue generation.
The AI announcement, made during Apple’s annual developer conference, helped lift its shares by 10% and propelled the company to the number one spot, dethroning Microsoft. Briefly, though .
💰 Market Cap : $3.258 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $383.29 billion (2023)
👶 How It Started : Apple traces its humble origins to Steve Jobs’s garage where he and another founder — Steve Wozniak, would test the products before selling them over the phone. A third founder — Ronald Wayne — was in the company for just 12 days and sold his 10% stake for $800. That stake today is worth more than $325 billion.
3. 🧩 Nvidia (ticker: NVDA )
Nvidia is the highflyer technology company responsible for building out the infrastructure layer of the artificial intelligence revolution. Its coveted AI chips are the hottest commodity for all other technology giants and that’s where Nvidia’s power comes from.
Earlier this month, Nvidia’s market value crossed $3 trillion for the first time, overtaking Apple and becoming the third company to ever breathe the rarefied air of so much money. First place coming soon?
💰 Market Cap : $3.244 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $60.92 billion (2023)
👶 How It Started : Jensen Huang, who never interviews wearing anything other than a black jacket, was cleaning tables and washing dishes at his local Denny’s diner. And that’s where he sat with his two friends — hardware savant Chris Malachowsky and software geek Curtis Priem — when he founded his chip making business Nvidia.
4. 🧩 Alphabet (ticker: GOOGL )
Alphabet, parent of search dominator Google, is taking on Microsoft in the rushed race to market an AI assistant. The company’s first generation AI bot, Bard, suffered a major blow at launch (it returned false information). Subsequent attempts failed to present any threat to ChatGPT so Alphabet rebranded it to Gemini.
💰 Market Cap : $2.194 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $307.39 billion (2023)
👶 How It Started : The founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, initially worked on their search engine project from their dorm rooms at Stanford University. They later moved to a garage in Menlo Park, California, which was owned by Susan Wojcicki, former CEO of YouTube. Google purchased YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2005. Today, YouTube generates that amount in two weeks.
5. 🧩 Amazon (ticker: AMZN )
Amazon, the ecommerce and cloud computing heavyweight, is riding the AI wave thanks to its cloud computing division Amazon Web Services (AWS). It’s the company’s cash cow, revenue generator, profit driver, or however you want to call it.
For the most recent quarter, AWS hit $100 billion in annual revenue run rate — a financial metric that estimates future growth based on current performance. Or the opposite of "Past performance is no guarantee of future results."
💰 Market Cap : $1.911 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $574.78 billion
👶 How It Started : Amazon was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 after he left his analyst job at the hedge fund D. E. Shaw & Co, inspired by the rapid growth of the internet. He took the risk of selling things online and picked books due to their wide selection and ease of distribution. And the rest is history.
6. 🧩 Saudi Arabian Oil (ticker: 2222 )
An outlier in the rankings saturated by tech giants, Saudi Arabian Oil is the world’s largest oil producer. Also known as Saudi Aramco, it’s the single most important revenue source for the Saudi government (makes up 92% of its budget to be exact). In 2022, when energy prices boomed following the Covid lockdown, Aramco pocketed record profits of $161 billion.
💰 Market Cap : $1.783 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $440.80 billion (2023)
👶 How It Started : Saudi Aramco was established in the 1930s when Standard Oil of California discovered oil in Saudi Arabia and formed the California-Arabian Standard Oil Company. By the 1980s, the Saudi government had fully nationalized the company, renaming it Saudi Aramco.
7. 🧩 Meta Platforms (ticker: META )
Last on our list of $1 trillion companies and beyond is Meta Platforms, previously known as Facebook. The brainchild of Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg had a rough 2022 with more than 70% wiped out of its value and knocking it out of the $1 trillion club.
The following year, 2023, was a lot more generous to the social media behemoth as it gained nearly 200% and jumped right back into a 13-digit valuation. The company was up another 45% for the first half of 2024.
💰 Market Cap : $1.279 trillion
🐮 Revenue : $134.90 billion (2023)
👶 How It Started : Facebook was initially called "Thefacebook" and was limited to Harvard students when it first launched on February 4, 2004. The company’s first office was Mark Zuckerberg’s dorm room.

$NVDA Algorithm Buy Alert June 11Our strategy is to wait for the large green dot to enter a long position. One June 11 2024 14:45, we got our large green dot buy alert. We never trade with emotion. By eliminating emotion, we can trade successfully and make huge profits that will pay for the software 10 times over. As of today we are still in Nvidia long position
Nvidia is Topping in the Near TermAlthough having reached my target for wave v of 5, we do not have any evidence of a top in place as of today's trading session. In the days or weeks to come I look for a breach of $116 to give us our initial indication we've topped, with confirmation coming with a breach of $106.
This would be a long term top.
Best to all,
Chris
AVGO, Split coming? On it's way to 1550?The chart for Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) on the NASDAQ shows a bullish breakout from a falling wedge pattern, indicating a potential upward price movement.
After the breakout, the price has consolidated around the $1,406.64 level, suggesting a healthy pause before the next move.
The RSI at 57.48 indicates neutral to slightly bullish momentum, and increased volume during the breakout adds credibility to this move.
The projected path suggests the price will consolidate around $1,407.78 before breaking out to $1,419.17 and potentially reaching $1,438.35 and $1,445.40. Considering these factors, entering a long position if the price breaks above $1,419.17
with strong volume could be beneficial, with a stop loss below $1,391.91 to manage risk and targets at $1,438.35 and $1,445.40.
This could easily tun to 1550 with a 10% implied move on earnings.

Nvidia Races Ahead: Can It Lead After Apple Stock SplitNvidia Races Ahead: Can it Maintain the Lead After Apple's Stock Split?
The tech world is abuzz with the news of Nvidia's staggering outperformance of Apple's stock price in 2024. Annually, Nvidia has surged a remarkable 190+%, leaving Apple in the dust with a meager 19% gain. This stark contrast comes just ahead of Apple's highly anticipated 10-to-1 stock split, raising questions about the future performance of both tech giants.
Nvidia's Stellar Rise: A Chip Powerhouse on Fire
Nvidia's dominance can be attributed to its position as a leader in the booming semiconductor industry. The ever-growing demand for powerful graphics processing units (GPUs) for applications like artificial intelligence, gaming, and data centers has propelled Nvidia's growth. Their cutting-edge technology has made them the go-to choice for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Apple's Stagnant Growth: A Maturing Giant?
While Apple remains a tech behemoth, its stock price hasn't mirrored the explosive growth seen in other sectors. This could be due to a number of factors. The smartphone market, a cornerstone of Apple's success, has reached a saturation point. Additionally, competition from other manufacturers, particularly in the Chinese market, has intensified.
Stock Splits: A Psychological Boost or a Price Trick?
Stock splits themselves don't change the underlying value of a company. They simply increase the number of shares outstanding while proportionally reducing the share price. However, stock splits can have a psychological impact on investors. A lower share price can make the stock appear more affordable, potentially attracting new investors and boosting short-term trading activity.
Volatility Ahead: Will Apple Reclaim Its Throne?
Apple's upcoming stock split has the potential to introduce significant price volatility in the short term. The lower share price might entice retail investors, leading to a temporary surge. However, long-term performance will depend on Apple's ability to innovate and tap into new growth markets.
Beyond the Numbers: A Look at the Fundamentals
While the current stock price performance paints a clear picture, a deeper analysis of both companies' fundamentals is crucial for long-term investors. Here are some key aspects to consider:
• Product Pipeline: Both companies have a history of successful product launches. Analyzing their upcoming product lines and potential disruptions will provide insights into future growth prospects.
• Innovation: Continuous innovation is vital for sustained success in the tech industry. Evaluating each company's commitment to research and development will shed light on their ability to stay ahead of the curve.
• Market Expansion: Identifying new markets and customer segments that either company can tap into can be a significant growth driver.
The Verdict: A Tale of Two Tech Titans
Nvidia's current lead is undeniable, but Apple shouldn't be counted out. The stock split has the potential to reignite investor interest in Apple, and its brand loyalty remains unmatched. Ultimately, which company emerges victorious will depend on their ability to navigate the ever-evolving tech landscape, deliver innovative products, and expand into new markets.
For investors, this is an exciting time to be in the tech sector. By carefully analyzing both companies' fundamentals and long-term strategies, investors can make informed decisions about where to place their bets. The race between Nvidia and Apple is far from over, and the coming months will be a fascinating test of their respective strengths and resilience.
Nvidia Analysis After SplitThe Nvidia share price has never risen so steeply. Each rise lasted about 30 months and was followed by an average correction of 50%. I think we are getting close to the next correction. It will be an excellent buying opportunity. But until then we can even see $160 because of the FOMO and the new investors who came after stock split.

a weekly price action market recap and outlook - nvidia #4Good day and i hope you are well.
Last time i talked about Nvidia was 2024-02-23 and Nvidia was at 823 and my targets were 900/1000. Time for an update.
comment: It's the stock everyone talks about and the peak insanity bubble of this generation before the next financial crisis. There, I said it. Feel free to stop reading now if you don't like it.
I look at charts and comment on patterns I see and what I think will most likely happen or not. If the picture is unclear, we are in a trading range. Obviously not the case for this gem. You can study parabolic wedge tops and see repeating patterns, therefore you can make predictions about the possibility of future price movements. This stock will be the posterchild of a bubble pop, just like Bitcoin was in 2021 when it did a 50% pull-back from 64000 to 30000. For you guys, I commented on the Bitcoin parabolic wedge top from 2020/2021 to illustrate my point. See below.
Probably 99% of twitter wants you to think Nvidia goes to infinity, just like Bitcoin in 2021 but they only do that at the peak of the bubble while the market is going parabolic. They are so euphoric that they never seem interested in studying market behavior in the past. If you truely believe them and the "this time it's different...", good luck. The party will probably continue some more, just like it did with bitcoin. But at some point, mostly the point where your friends, who know the same about the financial markets as about quantum physics, will tell you they bought Nvidia, it will turn because there is no one willing left to buy and the only thing the stock can do is go down to find new buyers. If that move is strong enough, well, the fair price might be lower than you think.
-dotcom everyone thought everything with an internet address could only print money for infinity
-gfc everyone thought housing prices can only go up and for sure this time it's different
-what shall we call the next GFC? Will it be the everything bubble? Who gives a flying f. Cycles repeat. It's never different. This cycle was just moved so far off, because of the biggest money printing experiment in history. Markets do not change because they reflect human behavior. This market will deflate and so will this stock.
Please rub it in my face when we are in 2025 and Nvidia trades at 3000. Please do. Maybe I will learn something from it.
Here is my usual writing for weekly recaps & outlooks
current market cycle: parabolic wedge top - peak bubble behavior
key levels: 1150-1500
bull case: Everything. Stock can only go up. Every dip is bought. Daddy Jensen is signing breasts and most people think AI will be an infinite money glitch.
Invalidation is below 1170ish.
bear case: No bear case. Every bull trend line is valid. Pull-backs are shallow and bought. Market is printing consecutive uber bullish gaps. If you think anything about this is bearish right now, look at the weekly/monthly tf and think again.
"But you are saying it will pop..." Well yeah but as of right now, nothing is deflating for this stock. I'm giving you my reasoning why buying into a W5 (third push up) while most indixes are at or near all time highs, might be a bad idea. When everyone and their dog is max bullish, you could think twice about doing the same.
Invalidation is above 1400.
short term: It's reasonable to expect another push up in this tight bull channel for a high around 1300-1400.
medium-long term: Over the next 6 months we should see the 1000 price area again and 6-18 months we most likely will see 800-900 again.
current swing trade: hell naw.
Nvidia Scores a Knockout: Chipmaker Topples AppleNvidia Scores a Knockout: Chipmaker Topples Apple to Reach $3 Trillion Throne
In a stunning shift of the tech world's power dynamics, Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) has dethroned Apple (AAPL) as the world's most valuable company by market capitalization. Surpassing the $3 trillion mark for the first time ever, Nvidia's meteoric rise signifies the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) and the chipmaker's strategic positioning at the heart of this technological revolution.
From Graphics Giant to AI Powerhouse
Nvidia's journey to the top isn't a tale of overnight success. The company built its reputation on high-performance graphics processing units (GPUs) - the workhorses behind smooth gameplay and stunning visuals. However, a fortuitous discovery changed the game. These same GPUs, designed for complex graphics calculations, proved remarkably adept at handling the intricate computations demanded by AI. This adaptability propelled Nvidia into the AI arena, where its chips are now powering a vast array of groundbreaking applications.
Fueling the AI Engine
Several factors have converged to create a perfect storm for Nvidia's growth:
• The AI Explosion: The global AI market is on an exponential growth trajectory.

These advancements necessitate ever-more powerful graphics processing, further solidifying Nvidia's position within this lucrative market segment.
• The Crypto Craze: While a volatile factor, the ongoing cryptocurrency boom has undeniably boosted demand for Nvidia's GPUs, as they are well-suited for cryptocurrency mining. This additional demand has contributed to Nvidia's recent surge.
Can Nvidia Maintain its Momentum?
While Nvidia's current market valuation is a testament to its success, questions naturally arise about its ability to sustain this extraordinary growth trajectory. Here are some key considerations for the future:
• The Competitive Landscape: Nvidia's success has attracted the attention of rivals like Intel (INTC) and AMD (AMD), who are pouring resources into developing their own AI-focused chips. Maintaining its technological edge will be crucial for Nvidia to stay ahead of the pack.
• Market Fluctuations: The tech sector is notorious for its sensitivity to market movements. An economic downturn or a shift in investor sentiment could potentially trigger a correction in Nvidia's stock price.
• Innovation as the Lifeblood: The rapid pace of technological advancement demands constant innovation. Nvidia must prioritize research and development to ensure its products remain at the forefront of AI technology.
A New Era for Chipmakers
Nvidia's ascension to the $3 trillion mark signifies a pivotal moment for the semiconductor industry. It underscores the immense potential of AI and the critical role chipmakers play in driving technological innovation. As the world embraces AI at an ever-increasing rate, Nvidia stands poised to play a central role in shaping the future. However, the company's continued success hinges on its ability to navigate a competitive landscape, prioritize innovation, and weather potential market fluctuations.
