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.
