Buffett's Final Warning: "The Dollar Is Going to Hell"
Do not buy another AI stock until you've seen the arithmetic below. Nvidia is worth about $5.5 trillion. Alphabet about $4.1 trillion. Microsoft about $3.8 trillion. So what would it take to repeat Nvidia's run? A 100x gain from here puts Nvidia near $550 trillion. Nothing in history has ever been worth that. Big money in Nvidia has already been made. By the people who bought it years ago. But that does not mean the AI boom is finished. It means the opportunity has moved underneath it... to the layer every AI company has to pay to use.tc pixel
