Imagine two neighbours. A decade ago one invested $10k in Nvidia $NVDA and the other invested $10K in Intel $INTC

One would have $2.9 million today, while the other would have $13,420. It's likely they'd no longer be neighbours... 🤣 Source: Koyfin

As per The Kobeisi Letter >>> The S&P 500 is now up 34% in under 8 MONTHS

Since the October 2023 low, the S&P 500 has added 1,370 points or $11.5 TRILLION in market cap. In other words, the S&P 500 has added ~$1.4 trillion in market cap PER MONTH for the last 8 months in a row. This means that the S&P 500's return since October 2023 is now 3 times the average annual return. Nvidia stock alone, $NVDA, has added $2.2 trillion in market cap over this time period. That's ~20% of the S&P 500's market cap gains coming from just one stock...
