Is NVIDIA's mini AI bubble already deflating?

September 15, 2023

Yes, NVIDIA's mini bubble is already deflating. NVIDIA corporation was the biggest beneficiary of the first mini AI financial bubble caused by the rollout of chatbots like ChatGPT and Bard. NVIDIA manufactures paralleled processing chips suitable to power the neural networks behind machine learning algorithms and generative AI applications. NVIDIA got a head start in the game, but rivals are already catching up. Moreover, the initial euphoria about chatbots is quickly dissipating as people get used to either using the bots or ignoring them altogether. 

In 2019, prior to the COVID19 pandemic, NVIDIA's stock price hovered at around $50. About a month ago, NVIDIA stock was priced at almost $500. Most of this tenfold increase occurred in the first nine months of 2023. From January 1st, 2023 through August 31, 2023, NVIDIA's stock increased in price from about $140 to about $500. This was due to the AI mini bubble that began at the beginning of this year with the release of ChatGPT. 

ChatGPT, or Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022. The chatbot was developed by OpenAI, an AI research company. ChatGPT allows users to control the length, format, style, and language of a conversation. It can generate human-like essays, poems, and answers to almost any question. OpenAI released a paid version of ChatGPT 4. 

ChatGPT's debut was revolutionary. Many assumed that the AI Skynet-type "takeover of the world" was already here. By now, most people have realized that AI is like the internet. It will definitely change everything and continue growing and expanding. However, there is no reason to lose sanity about it or create another dot.com bubble. 

On August 31, 2023 we shorted $10k in NVDIA stock to put our money where our mouth was. The call is 5% up, meaning that the NVIDIA stock bubble has deflated 5% in the first two weeks of September. Our prediction is minus 30% within the next six months. By March 2024, all chip manufacturers will be on their way to catching up to NVIDIA, and chatbots like ChatGPT and Google Bard will be widely used by more and more users. 

AI will definitely "take over" the world, but not in the apocalyptic way of some science fiction stories. AI will "take over" the world in the same way that computers and the internet already took it over. AI can be seen as the third phase of the Digital Information Age (DIA). AI will continue growing, expanding, and disrupting everything. Technology companies will keep changing everything. Whatever is more convenient will prevail. In the world of intelligence, be it organic or artificial, whatever is more convenient always prevails. 

The economic growth of AI, just like the prior economic growth of computers and the internet, will not mean that every company with AI exposure will experience a tenfold increase in valuation every three years. NVIDIA' s valuation increase in the last three years, and specifically in the last first nine months of 2023 was a market overreaction. We think that there is a market correction underway, which will reduce NVIDIA's valuation by at least 30% from the almost $500 peak within the next six months.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

Will prices go up or down during the Second Coming of Trump?

December 12, 2024 Will prices go up or down during the Second Coming of Trump? President-elect Donald Trump has acknowledged the difficulty of reducing grocery prices, stating, "It's hard to bring things down once they're up."  Lower Energy Costs and Better Logistics Trump hopes that lower energy costs and improved supply chains may prevent significant price increases on food. However, many economists believe that Trump's tariffs on foreign countries and massive deportation of illegal immigrants, which include millions of undocumented farm workers, will increase food prices.  Additionally, while Trump emphasizes the role that potentially lower energy prices may have in food costs, experts note that energy constitutes a relatively small portion of food production expenses. Energy prices may also increase despite experts forecasting that they will stay relatively low or go further down. After all, economists and financial experts are wrong often, almost all of the t...
