MSFT will be considerably up, in line with predictions. AAPL will be slightly up, but below predictions.

Nvidia is a top tier, robust company. My view is that volatility can only bring opportunity in the medium and long term, when exposure is managed properly (i.e. no need to sell at lows). Buying the temporary drops, looking at the medium long term can give great results. I would leave speculative, short term buy&sell to trend stock. one last comment: the market is currently pricing Fed lowering interests rates (same old buy the news, sell the fact), so I am expecting some drops end of the year, after the first round of rebates triggers sells to take profits. The only real danger for Nvidia would be Chinese low-cost competition in AI, reducing the current monopoly.
