Nvidia earnings show strength of A.I. in tech sector

Is this the only game in town right now. Dan. Look the godfather of AI in Jensen and video. I mean this is really yearnings heard around the world. The most important earnings in many years. And it shows this AI party. It's just getting started in terms relative to what we're seeing in terms of peak demand. And now I mean Lisa talked about it. This tidal wave of spend it's coming to the rest of tech. And in our opinion that's going to continue to fuel this tech bull market. And what I almost view as a Taylor Swift moment for the tech bulls. We can get into the broader tech universe. But let's talk about the lack of competition. How relevant is the competition. Dan. It's silent. I look I mean for the next maybe two three years you have AMD. Well Lisa Sue's doing some others. But right now they're the only game in town. And that's why when you look at the godfather of AI Jensen and video it's the best read for what we're seeing on the AI revolution. It all starts with GPUs. But then it goes to the rest of software. This is a read for the hyperscalers from Microsoft for Google for Amazon obviously chip players. But now it's coming to the rest of software. And that's why this is such an important moment for the market. And I think you get my valuation. Look I get it. I mean many with their 30 spreadsheets and valuation models they're in their bear caves right now in hibernation mood because I think this is a stock that that's going to continue. You know it could be four digits.
