@Willto1mill It's an auction, not actually 9k but still looks like a good deal

$NVDA is becoming the backbone of the AI infrastructure buildout. It’s no longer just about selling GPUs, Nvidia has built an entire ecosystem around CUDA, networking, software and full AI systems, making it much harder for customers to switch away

Blackwell is driving the current cycle, while Rubin is next. The big question is how long hyperscaler AI spending can keep growing at this pace. That’s what makes Nvidia’s earnings so important: the numbers tell us what happened, but the guidance tells us where the AI cycle is heading.

$NVDA earnings tonight 🚨

headline numbers matter, but the guide matters more

Street:
> Revenue: ~$92B
> EPS: ~$2.09
> Data Center: ~$85.7B

The real questions:
→ Does Q3 guide above ~$104B?
→ How strong is Blackwell demand?
→ How quickly does Rubin ramp?
→ Can gross margins stay around ~75%?
→ Any signs AI capex is slowing?
→ China / competition commentary?

A beat alone probably isn’t enough

My view: the biggest catalyst is evidence that growth is accelerating again, not just that they beat estimates.

Hoping for a green week ahead... with appropriate dips

“Without sorrow, joy loses its contrast; without darkness, we would scarcely notice the light.”

[RoninTraders @RoninInvestors]

The older I get, the more I realise that trading was never really about predicting the next move.

It’s about learning how to sit with uncertainty without letting it control you.

You can have the best setup, the strongest conviction, and still be wrong. You can do everything “right” and still take a loss. And sometimes you can make money for all the wrong reasons.

That’s what makes the market such a brutal teacher.

It slowly exposes your impatience, your ego, your need to be right, your fear of missing out, and your tendency to turn one bad decision into five.

Eventually you stop looking for certainty.

You start looking for clarity.

You stop chasing every move.

You start waiting for the ones that actually matter.

And maybe that’s the deeper lesson: the goal isn’t to control the market.

It’s to become disciplined enough that the market can’t control you.

CPI announcement in 10 minutes.

Nikkei futures have been ripping higher continuing the afternoon move through the overnight session and finally hitting ¥68,000.

The question now: can it keep pushing after CPI?

A move this strong ahead of the data usually means a lot of the CPI expectation is already priced in, which can create a “buy the news” reaction if the numbers come in as expected.

But this CPI is one I wouldn’t take for granted.

Expect volatility.
