    **the bubble is about to pop. they’ve known it for a long time. ** mr Huang gets to exit with 140 billion in stock . he maybe forced by a court to sell half of it for his divorce. this gives him and many others a convenient reason to jump ship without startling the rest of the herd.

    The stocks go up and down from other things too and prices usually recover. People inside who knew when to buy/sell make money. I just have boring index funds, stay the course 95/5 stock/fixed income, or all stock funds like Mr. Money Mustache and others discuss. Do that while working for sure and don’t get the mixed funds like target date ones. If you insist on having bond funds while working then rebalance occasionally yourself to see the drag over time.

    Maybe the next decade will be flat or a recession, maybe the prices are still too high and need more corrections, I don’t know, and don’t try to time the market. Vti has one year total return of 12%, even through the war dip and recovery and Ai dips, while Bnd is -0.12% total return. Ten year total returns are 300% vs 15%, but no guarantee of future returns so it’s always a risk. Something like Vbil can be decent for fixed income.

    The markets aren’t being roiled because Jensen Huang fucked.

    They’re being roiled because a big chunk of NVIDIA’s revenue is coming from black market exports.

    This isn’t the indiscretions of one guy. It is a massive network of regulation and evasion that creates a defacto regulatory monopoly for GPU exports.

    It really just goes to show how all this shit is made up bullshit and manipulation.

    The time will come when we’ll realize the grand illusion is killing us but it won’t come soon enough.

    can we please not lose sight of the ACTUAL PROBLEM ?

    He let him self get entrapped by a foreign spy, who had access to him and who knows what devices/keys/passes/recordings.

    And this is a company that produces things which are export controlled, is currently one of the only motors of the US economy and he is a person with direct access to Trum and his circle.

    THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE “INDISCRESION”. OK?

      I’m beginning to believe that he isn’t getting himself trapped, he know what he’s doing, just that it’s one way to leave an escape route open and not get charged for something way worst.

    When one CEO’s personal scandal can erase hundreds of billions in market value, the problem isn’t just the CEO. It’s an industry that built critical infrastructure around a handful of celebrity founders and apparently forgot succession planning exists. Maybe the real AI hallucination was believing these men were irreplaceable.

      The real problem wasn’t personal affair, but known circumvention of US export sanctions to China. So the US can sanction Nvidia, etc.

    I’m normally against the use of AI to create random slop but I feel like someone should ask it to put Jensen and his lady friends in the Coldplay concert cheaters video. It’s just too perfect not to.

    I’m still not going to do it myself though.

    A bit generous of a headline to assume everything was fine before and the market would have continued to infinity, lmao.

    I need to see a calculation of how many thrusts it takes the average dude to finish, and the number of times they likely banged. How many tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars did each thrust cost?
