Putting Nvidia's market capitalisation into perspective
With a market capitalisation of $2.8 trillion, Nvidia is now worth considerably more than the entire German market ($2.5 trillion for the DAX index).
Germany used to be recognised as a world leader in technology, engineering, and innovation. It was the German Gutenberg who invented the printer. Röntgen, another German, discovered X-rays. Not so long ago, the German companies Siemens, Bosch and Daimler-Benz (Mercedes) were among the world's industrial giants.
Times are changing... Europe will have to reinvent itself.

Nvdia shares cheaper than a year ago
The higher the share price, the more expensive it is. Isn't that so? Well, that's not always the case. A year ago, when Nvidia was trading at $277, its earnings per share were $0.82 and its price/earnings ratio 147 times. Today, Nvidia's share price has risen by almost 284% to over $1,060. But at the same time, its earnings per share have risen by 629% to reach $5.98. De facto, its P/E fell to 62x... the P/E calculated based on expected earnings is now 30x. Nvidia shares are therefore cheaper today than they were a year ago...

The cost of servicing US debt is set to explode in the years ahead
In the US, net interest payments on debt as a percentage of GDP are expected to reach 3.9% by 2034, the highest level in history. This percentage exceeds the all-time record set in the 1990s, as well as World War II levels. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), net interest is expected to account for 75% of the increase in the budget deficit over the next decade. Indeed, interest expense has already DOUBLED in the space of three years, and now costs the U.S. around $2 billion a day. What's the worst? These projections assume that there will be no recession in the next ten years. What happens if the US goes into recession and resorts to even more debt to sustain its economy?
