$Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Valuation debate here. Recent commentary puts Alphabet at about 25x forward earnings or roughly 17x trailing earnings, depending on the measure used.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ A new all-time high is coming, and I have no plans to sell this stock anytime soon. Jensen keeps delivering for investors, and I'm ready for that record-breaking moment.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Bears seem to be hoping the Fed sinks the market when a rate increase is announced. Hope alone doesn't really belong in investing. Trusting in someone like Jensen is a different story.
