One question, please! Is NVIDIA a safe buy to outperform the market this year? I'm tired of these new buys every week, just to make up some assets with a low percentage on my $236k portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%.

[@PatyRamírez-z9z]

I've always advised the investors I know to exercise caution when it comes to new buys, especially right now. You should thread the market with the guidance of a qualified specialist or reliable counsel if you don't know where to look.

[@JacobReynolds-t7v]

@@PatyRamírez-z9z I deal with an investment advisor for this reason. I currently have over $800k invested in a diversified portfolio that has grown exponentially and is suitable for all market seasons. Our current project for this year is a more concrete ballpark target.

I hear his promises since 2016. We should by now have fully self driving cars since a few years, electric trucks, and a colony in Mars. Robotaxis is just another one.

[@alaska98225]

I don't know who that guy is in the middle, but he's no expert, and in fact doesn't seem to know anything - and so he compares WAYMO to Tesla autonomy. Ridiculous.

[@michaelphillips4452]

Tesla is a $28.00 stock and that is generous.

FSD v.12.5 is awesome for Hardware 4 baby. No one is close to this no question.

[@GenRicOpekc]

@@michaelphillips4452 12.5 has 5 times the amount of software parameters so it requires Hardware 4 to run right now. They will have to optimize 12.5 so hardware 3 owners can run it. All KZbin FSD owners videos have been very honest and critical. Sorry, I’m not a fanboy and i don’t drive a Tesla.

@@GenRicOpekc Putting that unproven untested software on the open market and on the open road should be a crime.

[@GenRicOpekc]

@@michaelphillips4452 All level 3 and higher cars have to an internal camera that makes sure the driver is paying attention. It’s not unproven and untested. There are hundreds of Tesla development test drivers that test then its released to thousands of regular Tesla drivers, after that its released to drivers with great driving scores first. If that release looks very good, then its since to all Tesla FSD users. The NTSB, the NHTSA, and the California DMV are constantly monitoring FSD, collecting data, and testing whenever they test. CHina’s MIIT is now testing Tesla’s FSD. The EU is also now testing FSD. Tesla FSD turns off if the drivers is not looking at the road and suspends if improper use is detected.

*Exactly what you want from THE most important steward of shareholder value: "If you don't agree with me, just sell your stock." (Like a spoiled brat threatening to take his "bat and ball and go home" whenever he's challenged.) Easy to say with a fresh $50-plus billion of shareholder equity lining your pockets. But perhaps a bit tougher choice for those owning the stock in the $300-per-share (or higher) range.* 😳
