I agree! Buy high sell low. Did it for AAPL and META. Down to my last 3k from 50. If I ever make it to 0, I'll post losses here.

It's been looked into extensively. Growth/acc assets perform better (growth-wise) than dividend paying stocks. AAPL is an exception but then again they don't pay a big dividend. Companies that pay dividends are usually mature, have really strong cash flows and don't see as much opportunity to grow through reinvestment (like Coca-Cola for example).
Dividend stocks are mostly good for people who want disposable income from that money - aka people who already have a sizable portfolio and will be getting thousands every quarter from those dividends as extra pocket money, or even their entire income.

Operating income
GOOGL 31.2B, AAPL 32.4B, MSFT 37.9B
NVDA 36B
Next quarter AAPL will bring in over 40B since it's their strong quarter so it will be close.
Q1 2026 NVDA will have the highest operating income

There will also never be another share of AAPL issues. In fact, AAPL buys back billions of dollars of stock every year. NVDA just reported a >$30B buyback for the **check notes** quarter. Forced scarcity is an advantage over fiat, but many asset classes have fixed supply.

Did NVDA get to the point already where they surpassed GOOG, AAPL, and MSFT in free cash flow and operating income?

AAPL sees what NVDA is doing and goes like "fak it, just going to die here" LMAO 😂

Betting against NVDA is like betting against AAPL in 2015. I don’t even know if this analogy is any good, but it sounds smart enough

And that's why I've been looking more at NVDA's profit margin. This AI cycle is going to end soon enough. What kind of cash will NVDA have when it's all done? If they can generate +$37B a quarter for another 4-6 quarters, then we're talking about another $200B of cash into their bank accounts. Generating that kind of cash in 1.5 years is wild. AAPL needed 2 years with $800B of revenue to generate $200B in net income. NVDA could do that in 1.5 years with only $400B of revenue.

All of big tech is up because of NVDA earning then you have AAPL hating ass 😭

Hopefully this doesn’t play out like AAPL earnings. Considering they only beat by 0.05 eps I’m a little worried

It’s also insane that AAPL became the first trillion dollar company in 2018 and not only did NVDA pass it, NVDA now hovers near $5T. It took decades for a company to reach a $1T valuation and only a few years for one to go from hundreds of billions to nearly $5T. So who is to say what the future holds? Nobody knows.

The social media side is a cash flow machine. But there's widespread misgivings that Zuck is investing those flows wisely. The shareholder yield (dividends + net buybacks) is 1.76%, which doesn't compare favorably to IMO better managed corporations like AAPL (3.01%) and GOOGL (2.30%).

come ride the AAPL wave, it's like edging without the orgasm

Good point. The Mag 7 all have a Fwd PE around 30 (except TSLA)...they have real earnings. Their growth has also been tremendous. I'm skeptic that NVDA can keep up this pace (I don't have any evidence to suggest this, mind you) but I see no reason why MSFT, AAPL, GOOGL, META, and AMZN can't continue their growth. These companies all run essentially an oligopoly in their markets with impossible barriers to entry. They have no competition other than each other, so the pie is theirs. If TSLA and NVDA do pop, which is possible, I can see a market correction with a 20% - 30% impact that would just be a nice buying opportunity because frankly there is nothing stopping these companies. We are all addicted to everything they are selling. I have Facebook open right now, I'm writing this using Google Chrome, my computer has Microsoft Office, and I'm sure my wife has bought something Amazon as I wrote this.

I agree, it’s always cool news to see how much AAPL and NVDA have gone up over 30 years but no one ever holds that long. Nor would they have gone all in on them.

Less than AAPL makes from iPhones apparently

Exit $AAPL @269.59 for loss, all cash before NVDA earnings

SPY, AAPL, AMZN, BRK, GOOGL & JNJ

Hello, I’m a beginner investor 24F am I’m looking for some investment advice, I have 1.5k in stocks invested between VTI, TSLA, NVDA, MSFT and AAPL, an I have $500 in XRP and some physical silver… I feel like my portfolio may be too widespread for a beginner, I am wanting to invest long term rather than trade but if anyone had any advice I would appreciate it so much!
