So, my first quarter in the stock market was quite a ride! Investing in stocks like NVIDIA and Amazon felt solid, you know? They kept churning out those gains, showing why they're the big players in tech. And then there's Archer Aviation, which gave me a taste of the future with sustainable transportation – it's exciting stuff. Palantir Technologies, though, was a bit of a rollercoaster with its ups and downs, but hey, that's part of the game. Overall, it was a learning experience that's got me pumped for what's next in my investment journey.
Bitcoin rebounded on Wednesday, recovering from earlier losses, as investors paused amid the recent market downturn and assessed the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision. According to Coin Metrics, the price of Bitcoin rose by 1.7% to $65,773.23, bouncing back from a low of $60,793.60 earlier in the day. Following the conclusion of the Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting, cryptocurrencies saw a resurgence. The central bank kept rates unchanged, as anticipated, and reiterated its intention for multiple rate cuts this year. Similar to tech stocks, Bitcoin often thrives in environments of low interest rates and improved market liquidity, fostering positive sentiment and increased investment in growth assets.

$Reddit(RDDT)$ had an impressive first day on the stock market, closing at $50.31 per share, a significant jump from its initial price of $34 per share. Despite some fluctuations, the stock seems to be settling below $50. With revenue of $804.0 million in 2023 but still facing losses of over $90 million, Reddit's valuation may seem high compared to similar social media companies like Snap. However, its focus on AI is promising. Earlier this year, Reddit generated $203 million from contracts with AI companies for access to its data, making it an attractive prospect for investors interested in AI-driven growth. However, Reddit's plan to license user data for AI training has caught the attention of the FTC, which could impact investor sentiment. Neve
$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ has outperformed the market with a remarkable 1,900% share price increase in the past five years, surpassing Apple's 317% return. While Apple holds a higher market cap at $2.8 trillion, projections indicate that Nvidia, with a market cap just under $2 trillion, may need sustained high growth to surpass Apple's value. Apple's potential growth lies in capturing a portion of the expected 1.5 billion increase in the global smartphone market by 2029. If successful, this could lead to an 80% rise in stock price, reaching $325 by 2030, and a market cap of $5 trillion. Nvidia's growth is tied to the expanding demand for its GPUs, particularly in data centers adopting AI technology. With analysts projecting a tripling of revenue to $192
