Good.

It’s because Nvidia is an American company and also because they make final stage products. American companies right now are all overinflated and almost none of the stocks are worth what they’re at because of foreign trading influence.

As much as people whine about inflation here, the US didn’t get hit as bad as many other countries and we recovered quickly which means that there is a lot of incentive for other countries to invest here. They pick our top movers, they invest in those. What you’re seeing is people bandwagoning onto certain stocks because the consistent gains create more consistent gains for them.

The other part is that yes, companies who make products at the end stage tend to be worth a lot more than people trading more fundamental resources or parts. This is true of almost every industry except oil.

That probably also means that when the trend reverses it will turn into a rout.

It is also because the USA is the reserve currency of the world with open capital markets.

Savers of the world (including countries like Germany and China who have excess savings due to constrained consumer demand) dump their savings into US assets such as stocks.

This leads to asset bubbles and an uncompetitively high US dollar.

The current administration is working real hard on removing trust and value of anything American.

The US is also a regulations haven compared to other developed economies, corporations get away with shit in most places but America is on a whole other level of regulatory capture.

Yeah lot of companies are way overvalued look at Carvana, how is this company worth 50 billion?

The root problem they are trying to fix is real (systemic trade imbalances) but they way they are trying to fix it is terrible and won't work.

1. Only a universally applied tariff would work in theory but would require other countries not to retaliate (there will 100% be retaliation).

2. It doesn't really solve the root cause, capital inflows into the USA rather than purchasing US goods and services.

3. Trump wants to maintain being the reserve currency which is a big part of the problem.
