Passing the same $300 billion dollars back and forth between 5 companies does not make a great quarter ya nob, everyone sees how close the game is to falling apart.

Yup. Sounds like a Ponzi scheme.

its like latchcomb, they keep passing it to whoever so the spike trap doesnt activate.

I sold off my Nvidia stock about 3-4 weeks ago in the effort of divesting myself of all the AI futures. I also had sold off Amazon, MS, Intel, etc. (I never owned Tesla). With the money I bought Berkshire Hathaway, med tech/pharm stocks and stock of my local energy supplier since they hiked my rates those MFers, as well as a chip corp opening a fab here. Also can't go wrong with MC. I keep away from crypto and consider AI a poison pill... worse than the real estate bubble in the early 2000s. Just want to say, I am not a huge investor... I just decided to buy stocks instead of shoes cuz they take up less space and tend to increase in value vs lose value. No one sells their shoes.

I also moved some money into European and Asian stocks.

I made good money off nvidia. Not going to be a bag holder.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

nvidia/AI tech is hoping another industry will be the bag holder, thats why they are peddling to retail/service industries.

Rich man complains investors saw through his circular financing scam to artificially inflate his ~~criminal gang's~~ enterprise's stock price.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 210 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Let me fix that phrasing: "One of the richest men in the world complains that others did not give him more money after his business made so much money."

What a sad existence. Find some other form of validation, dude.

[–] NRay7882@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He pulled the same BS during covid, record profits and sales of the 30-series cards and he tells investors on a call "don't worry, we're going to get through this" as people started going back to work.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 81 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Pretended to make a bunch of money. Stock buybacks and giving AI companies money so they'll use it to buy your hardware doesn't count.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In a gold rush, the real money is in selling shovels. But you have to take cash upfront.

[–] greygore@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which is fine and dandy until the gold miners realize that they aren’t going to find enough gold to make it worthwhile and stop buying shovels and the market value of your company depends on your ability to continue selling shovels. Twenty five years after the dot com bubble burst, shovel seller Cisco is only just now reaching the same stock price they peaked at in early April of 2000.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Market cap is just share price times the number of shares. Can potentially be completely divorced from how well your company is actually doing. Conversely, a drop or rise in market cap doesn't have to mean your company is doing better or worse. If you're selling shovels, you still have the money when the music stops.

I never understood how capitalists claim market prices are the true source of truth and yet disagree with it when it’s not the outcome they like.

[–] fort_burp@feddit.nl 15 points 2 days ago

That's the neat part, it's a scam

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 39 points 3 days ago

Add a few personality disorders and it starts to make sense.

[–] greenbelt@lemy.lol 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In a true free market stock prices would become totally random noise. Even the best capitalist theorists (economists) came to this conclusion.

the CEO said. “We’re basically holding the planet together — and it’s not untrue.”

No. No dude. No. Quite the opposite.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 73 points 3 days ago (1 children)

These billionaire fucks are completely delusional. They have to go.

[–] verdi@feddit.org 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What I heard from scientists is claims need validation, I say we need power in our experimental setup to verify claims. Jensen says he is holding the planet together, so, let's eliminate Jensen and his next 5 in command in NVIDIA, n=6, and see if the planet breaks down. As a control, we cull Musk and his next 5 in command in Tesla and SpaceX. If the planet doesn't break down, we start doing it internationally to billionaires till there's a sign of a breakdown so we find out, empirically, how many billionaires are needed to support the planet. If we run out of billionaires before the planet breaks down, then the conclusion is the planet doesn't need billionaires. Who else wants to do science?

The arrogance in some of those quotes. Holy shit.

Jensen, you and your entire company could disappear without a trace, today, and the world would be just fine.

Probably better, in fact.

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.social 34 points 3 days ago

Much better

Meanwhile on the Titanic:

"People are getting so upset about a little water in the hull. They clearly don't appreciate how great the trip has been so far!"

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 71 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Jensen doesn't seem to realize that the only company profiting from AI is nvidia, and they're profiting from companies that are losing money on AI. It's a very fragile ecosystem being over-inflated. A bubble, if you will.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Which is fine and dandy when you're paying fat dividends and not treating the inflated stock as the end goal itself.

Nvidia's annual dividend was .022%

To put that into perspective, Shell's is 3.83% and McDonald's is 2.41%.

Nvidia is showing all the signs of a business that has lost the plot. They're spending all their actual profit on buying their own products for other businesses and calling it an investment into infrastructure.

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

now they are interested in linux

coward bitches

[–] colourlesspony@pawb.social 88 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Well, most of that "incredible" quarter was just IOU's from Sam Altman.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

Oh, the guy who intimated that the US gov will have to bail their asses out because their futures were TBTF. I will be happy to see that guy in prison for his pyramid schemes.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 3 days ago (1 children)

IOUs backed in turn by IOUs

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 days ago (2 children)

IOUs backed in IOUs that are from Nvidia, just a circle where no money actually changes hands

The stock is down because the Overton window has shifted. Two or three months ago, AI was the future and question that was lunacy. Now it is a mainstream point of discussion that AI is a giant bubble, that it is entirely likely to pop at some point, and that the efforts pushing it so hard are bordering on irrational given the actual capability of the product.

If AI bubble pops, Nvidia loses. No more big tech companies with blank checks and open orders for AI chips that basically amount to 'please send us as many AI chips as you can manufacture whatever it costs we will pay'.

And, if anything there may be a surplus of AI chips and hardware in the market as companies that have built entire data centers for AI suddenly realize that paying millions for electricity so online idiots can generate videos of cats racing Roombas down F1 tracks is not a trillion-dollar business model.

CEO complains that his blatant circular investment infinite money glitch isn't convincing people that these perpetually unprofitable businesses are actually worth further investment.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

The entire market saw the US government shovelling money in to your loading dock, Jennie. The market may be ignorant, but they're not stupid.

aww, Jacket man fall down go boom?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

The market didn't appreciate that you had a good quarter?

The fuck kind of bullshit logic is that?

[–] CovfefeKills@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

People just cashing out into other ventures it is easier to double your money elsewhere than Nvidia reach 10 trillion.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

He’s had an ego like this for a long time. I’m glad more people see it now.

[–] thesohoriots@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago

The market doesn’t give a shit about you or your company. The people who bet lots of money on your company’s success or failure give a shit about whether your company is a pile of rubble in x amount of time when they can cash out.

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 3 days ago

What a crybaby...
