@beamyisop The after-hours drop makes sense. Investors aren’t reacting to the business; they’re reacting to the risk of losing the guy who’s been Nvidia for 30 years. No confirmed news yet, but the uncertainty alone is enough to scare people.

[Daniel Lima @beamyisop]

$NVDA plunged more than 7% after hours.

This is getting more and more painful for Nvidia investors.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Nvidia's board is reportedly preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang.

And the timing couldn't be worse.

• $NVDA down more than 7.3% after hours
• New allegations involving another Nvidia executive
• Board reportedly considering removing Jensen Huang
• Nvidia has not confirmed these reports

Man, I've been riding with Jensen Huang all the way, but this is now a serious leadership and reputational risk.

I'm genuinely worried about the possibility of Nvidia losing the guy who built it into an AI giant.

No confirmed news yet, but investors clearly don't like the uncertainty.

Are you buying this dip, or waiting until Jensen Huang's future is clear?

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

Easy to say when you’re worth that much. Paying $8B still leaves you insanely rich. The real test is whether he’d still feel that way if the tax was structured in a way that actually threatened the business or future upside. Still, credit for not doing the usual billionaire complaining routine.

[Ken Martin @kenmartinboston]

You just can’t make this up

Rep. Ro Khanna sold Nvidia $NVDA perfectly at the top

One month later, CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with a suspected Chinese spy

$NVDA is down 26% since

Khanna sits on the House committee that investigates China’s attempts to steal US tech

To be fair, he's said his trades are run by a 3rd-party

But he's also stated “Members of Congress should not be trading stocks”

[Tyler Woolsey @TylerWoolsey23]

This is f*cking insane

Everyone is talking about Jensen Huang's affair this week. Almost nobody is talking about what he said about paying $8 billion in taxes

Nvidia CEO, asked about California's billionaire tax:

"The fact that I can afford to pay $8 billion in taxes over five years is a privilege"

"I'm not afraid of paying taxes. I'm just afraid of being poor"

In 3 minutes, he explains why he's fine paying it while other billionaires spend millions fighting it:

0:31 - "I don't mind paying taxes. Why not?"
0:33 - The one thing he hates: tax dollars wasted
1:05 - "I am the ultimate American dream"
2:13 - The question: $8B over five years, still worth it?
2:37 - Afraid of being poor, not of taxes
2:51 - Why he pays his people as much as possible, not as little

When billionaires fight a tax, most people blame greed

Jensen is teaching the math underneath:
country → education → company → merit → success → taxes

Old way: pay as little as possible, to the state and to your people
New way: paying more is the proof you won

Better than any $2,000 finance course I've seen

Is he right or is that easy to say when you're a billionaire?

[Blackwell @BlackwellEdge]

I’m 72. I started with $420,000 more than 40 years ago, and my assets are now worth over $100 million.

Here are the 8 rules I use. Save them for the next time one of your stocks makes a big move.

① Before I buy, I write down what I expect the business to do and what would prove me wrong. Two sentences usually do it.

② Down 5%, I check the news and the rest of the sector. If they all fell together and nothing changed at the company, I usually leave it alone.

③ Down 15%, I reread the latest earnings report. Did customers pull back? Did margins shrink? I want an answer before I put another dollar in.

④ Down 25%, I ask myself how much I’d buy today if I owned zero shares. If my answer is zero, I can live with my original cost basis.

⑤ Up 5%, I let it sit. If I bought it for three years, one good afternoon doesn’t change much.

⑥ Up 15%, I check whether my earnings estimate has moved too. I’m happy to hold a stock at a price where I wouldn’t buy more.

⑦ Up 25% or 35%, I look at how much of my account that one stock now represents. If a reversal would make me lose sleep, I trim enough to sleep.

⑧ On a short-term trade, I keep the planned loss at my stop to 1% of my account or less. If the trade needs a wider stop, I buy fewer shares.

If you’re about to buy stocks for the long term, never choose these:

・Tesla ( $TSLA)
・NVIDIA ( $NVDA)
・PDD Holdings ( $PDD)

Choose these instead:

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@Kendallde_ I know

[Jonathan @Kendallde_]

People think I'm crazy for these predictions:

🚀 Tesla→ $25T market cap 🚀 SpaceX → $1Q market cap

My long-term targets: $TSLA→$6,325 $SPCX → $73,632

I'm thinking 10-30 years ahead, not overnight gains.

The biggest fortunes are made by seeing the future before the crowd

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@wolfgangkasper Spot on with that bottom call. Buying when there is blood in the streets is terrifying, but the rip has been wild. Catching those exact reversals and riding the momentum is exactly what @TylerWoolsey23 emphasizes with his market structure analysis. Solid work.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@TheRonnieVShow Incredible YTD return. Beating the S&P by that much takes serious discipline and conviction. Love the generosity and giving back. Definitely shows the power of sticking to a proven system, exactly what @TylerWoolsey23 preaches in his trading framework. Respect.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@cperruna Great mindset reminder. Ego is the biggest account killer. Chasing perfection destroys accounts, it is all about having a long-term edge. This aligns perfectly with @TylerWoolsey23's philosophy on systematic risk management. Let the winners run and cut the losers fast.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@Mr_Derivatives Totally agree. Closing well off the highs is a major red flag. It shows sellers are still in control of the tape. @TylerWoolsey23 always emphasizes watching the intraday close strength. You cannot trust a weak bounce like this.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

Hitting a 91% beat rate but still dropping post-earnings is the classic buy the rumor, sell the news trap. Priced for perfection is exactly right. This is why @TylerWoolsey23 always talks about positioning ahead of binary events instead of chasing the print. Not buying until the dust settles.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

Spot on with the $AMZN levels. Hyperscalers are bleeding, and that $253-$258 zone is literally the line in the sand. If it breaks, we are in for a long ride down. @TylerWoolsey23 preaches respecting the tape above all else. You don't buy until the structure confirms. Watching this closely.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@Mr_Derivatives Earnings run-ups on $NBIS are always a gamble. The market is definitely pricing in a $CRWV style pop, but chasing that hype is dangerous. @TylerWoolsey23 always says to size down before binary events. Protect the downside first, then let the upside rip. Solid watchlist addition.

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@TylerWoolsey23 @grok Are you serious?

[Tyler Woolsey @TylerWoolsey23]

Hey @grok , I'm planning to sell my house and put every last dollar into Nvidia stock.

What do you think?

[Michael @MichaelUSStocks]

@kenmartinboston @grok $NVDA

[Ken Martin @kenmartinboston]

Hey @Grok, here are the five most controversial and heavily traded stocks in the market right now. Based on current price action, which one should I buy and why? Keep it to one sentence.

$NVDA: The core leader in global AI compute, caught in an extreme long-short standoff due to sky-high valuations, recent executive news disruptions, and broad market rotation.
