I don’t think anyone disagrees with you on Nvda . But the 10’s of 1000’s who shorted it the last yr thought like you . Guess what . They committed financial suicide . Here’s the thing about shorting stocks like Nvda . You try to short it 10-20 times losing 90% of the time . Then you finally nail the top shorting it. But guess what ? Your mind is so screwed up from losing so many times the first rally off the drop you cover petrified to hold the short .
Short-seller Jim Chanos warns Nvidia's epic growth is cannibalizing Big Tech — as the chip titan's value surges by $1 trillion in 4 months Theron Mohamed Feb 23, 2024, 7:40 AM EST https://markets.businessinsider.com...microchips-ai-big-tech-chanos-mcdonald-2024-2
Chanos shut down his short-only fund. That should tell you what Chanos believes about the current market. Chanos is probably one of the smartest HF managers but he's been trying to short TSLA for a long time to no avail. I give him credit for being correct about Enron & Lehman Brothers, in fact I remember the Friday before the infamous "Lehman Sunday (September 19, 2008)" he was debating with the CFO of Lehman Brothers who were both on Squawk Box on CNBC. Shorting bubble stocks is very tricky. I remember reading a book back in the early 2000s I believe it was called How To Short Stocks and the author said shorting only works when there is an observable downtrend in the charts, in other words the stock breaks below an important support level. That level is also where famed investor Nicolas Darvas would tell you to exit your position.
“Bears can only make money if the bulls push up stocks to where they are overpriced and unsound…” “Bulls always have been more popular than bears in this country because optimism is so strong a part of our heritage. Still, over-optimism is capable of doing more damage than pessimism since caution tends to be thrown aside.” “To enjoy the advantages of a free market, one must have both buyers and sellers, both bulls and bears. A market without bears would be like a nation without a free press. There would be no one to criticize and restrain the false optimism that always leads to disaster.” - Bernard Baruch

That's true enough, however NVDA's earnings are leveraged to the hyperscalers' capex spending. If deployments slow, those earnings will implode. This is a cycle on steroids mixed with antimatter rocket fuel, but semiconductor capex cycles have regularly occurred in the past and the downside is absolutely brutal. I'm sure not standing in front of the train at this stage, but so far AI seems like mostly hype - used for spamming crappy porn and creating infinite loops of robot bullshit generators. The titanic investments being made in 'AI chips' will eventually need to generate some sort of economic return, or they will be curtailed.
