Nvidia Corp.’s meteoric rise makes it not only the third-largest company in the U.S. in terms of market capitalization, but also bigger than most other countries’ economies, based on gross domestic product.
The chip maker’s stock closed at $788.17 on Friday, giving it a market value of $1.97 trillion. That figure is greater than the GDP of every nation in the world but 11, beating the likes of Russia, South Korea and Australia, according to February International Monetary Fund data compiled by Forbes.
Of course, comparing a single stock’s market cap to a country’s GDP is not a perfect exercise, as GDP is a measure of a nation’s output and market cap measures the total value of all shares of a publicly traded company.
Shares of Nvidia are up 238% over the past 12 months as the chip maker has seen huge interest in its graphics processing units, which are used by other companies to develop some artificial-intelligence applications.
The company said in its latest earnings report that it forecasts continued demand for its products, leading to a $277 billion gain in its market cap on Thursday — the biggest one-day valuation jump in U.S. history.

The lesson - short Nvidia.
They are 1 earnings report away. If you had to gain 238% in less than a year to catch MS excuse me for not being willing to dump all my savings into it for a steady and consistent gain. They have marketed the future of their chipset brilliantly. Not sure this is going to be a sustained reign. At least not yet. It should be interesting though.

I missed the rise from Oct to June where nvidia tripled in price.
I own lots of AMD which only doubled.... then dropped more then 50% and is now up to $161 with a recent rise of $7+ in one day.
I plan on buying nvidia if AMD does not start to go up faster. then Starlink when it becomes available in the future which is unknown.

Today’s close.
Yep. But when it split 10:1 on June 7th, it was selling for $1,200+/-. It hasn’t been selling in 700s since February.
