Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) just hit another mind-bending milestone. The chip giant's market cap has swelled to $4.5 trillion, putting it $1.5 trillion above the entire Russell 2000 index. That means one company is now worth more than 2,000 small U.S. firms combined.
Nvidia isn't just dominating in price. It's woven into the core of global investing. The stock sits inside 667 ETFs, which together control nearly 3.6 billion shares. Whether through passive funds or active bets, chances are, most investors already own a slice of Nvidia.

Maybe if there’s a crash it will start with a selling frenzy on Nvidia?
I’m selling first thing in the morning. It’s an obvious bubble, and I’m happy with the gains to date.
AI is reaching out through NVIDEA to enslave us all and totally distort the Market.
nVidia is to gaming video chips what Amazon is to online book sales.

They’ll continue to increase in share price (if not value) forever! To the MOON! Just like Intel did! What could possibly go wrong?
What goes up can go down. Several factors have contributed to wholesale price increases for some Nvidia chips. Price increases by a top producer can be market opportunities for 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th ranked producers as well as new innovators.

I’ve owned the stock for almost a decade... and my cost basis per share is $0.79, so needless to say that I’m happy with how the stock has performed. With that said, I’d sold off 95% of my original position over the last couple years. I’ve certainly “left money on the table” by gradually getting out as the NVDA ticked ever higher. But ultimately they’re in a commodity business... microprocessors. They may currently be the best in the business at making processors for AI applications, but I simply can’t shake the belief that it is only a matter of time before other companies bring acceptable substitutes to market. In 1980, Texas Instruments was the microprocessor leader. By 1990, Intel was the leader.
