It was on March 8th that I posted that the NVDA train was leaving the station and the days of purchasing the stock for a triple digit number were fast coming to an end. It went through a consolidation period for a couple of months but here we are pushing $1200 and wouldn’t a lot of people wish they had bought even at the high of that day on March 8th at $974. If you don’t let volatility shake you out this stock has a lot further to go.

That comment reminds me of a wide variety of stocks that went to the moon with nothing but blue sky ahead. They all ultimately sold off sharply and burned a lot of people with tales of grandeur. It reminds me of the old saying, “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.” Your comment March 8th show NVDA was at a price high at $974 and then fell over $200 per share to $756. We’ll never know how many people got burned for over $200 per share on that selloff before bailing out but I suspect many did as holding onto a plunging stock has never been a good idea regardless of what it did after. Right now the stock is very over extended.Same old story….

RON/BC – Clearly you ignored the point of the statement I just made. If you can’t handle volatility you clearly shouldn’t own stocks. I held all my stocks through the March 2020 crash and had one of the best performing years of my life. I did not sell a single share of NVDA when it corrected after that peak but instead added to my position in the 880s on the rebound. I have seen your negative posts for years and I can tell you that if anyone acted on them it would be virtually impossible to make any money.

With your attitude on investing, holding onto falling stocks you must have held the hundreds of high profile stocks that went right off the board to zero. That is financial suicide pure and simple. We all recall the big names of those stocks. Buying at high price points and/or holding onto stocks without a stop loss is not intelligent investing. If you had a sell stop loss in place you could buy at any point without being a technical analyst. But holding onto losers forever with wishful thinking will just make you a loser. No way around it. So don’t expect me to condone irresponsible “so called investing”…………..I will always comment negatively on that type of irresponsible buying and holding. History proves that!
