The $4 Trillion NVDA Story You’re NOT Being Told

Trump’s tariff deadline came and went on Wednesday, July 9 …

There were a bunch of new trade deals announced, and a new tariff-effective deadline of August 1.

But by far, the biggest trading news of the day was NVIDIA Corporation’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) push past $4 trillion in market capitalization.

It beat Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) to the milestone. And it’s the first stock on the U.S. exchange to achieve that valuation.

Look at the multi-month chart of NVDA below:

This stock has an insane trajectory.

And from where I sit … This is still just the beginning.

But most people are reading the wrong story.

Don’t buy a few measly shares of NVDA. You’ll waste the potential of this truly MASSIVE trade opportunity.

Yes, there are mind-numbing profit setups on the table right now.

But you have to dig a little deeper …

The best plays right now sit just out of sight.

The Best NVDA Trade Opportunities

The $4 trillion market-cap. milestone, on July 9 ultimately proved NVDA is the most valuable stock in the market.

And as a result of the new trade deals coming out of the White House, its value could continue to grow.

After all, AI is still growing.

The proof of that is Mark Zuckerberg’s desperate sprint for “superintelligence”.

The Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) CEO just paid tens of millions of dollars to poach prominent AI talent from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL).

And NVDA’s high-processing microchips are at the heart of this industry.

But the most valuable stock in the market comes with a share price above $150.

And even on some of its hottest days, the stock still only moves a couple percentage points.

As a small account trader, it’s not worth it for me to trade NVDA.

Even when NVDA first started to spike in 2023 … The best trades came from cheap stocks that spiked +100% alongside the NVDA and AI momentum.

For example, BigBear.ai Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) spiked multiple times since the AI sector began.

Look at the chart of BBAI below. Every candle represents one trading day:

This is just one example of an AI-related stock that spiked +100% since 2023.

There are too many to count.

As another example, the most recent was Cyngn Inc. (NASDAQ: CYN) on June 26. The stock spiked 720%* that day after it announced an AI collaboration with NVDA.

It ran 720%* in one day!

Comparatively, NVDA rarely moves more than 5% intraday.

As a small account trader, it’s a better use of my time and money to trade cheaper stocks that have bigger intraday moves.

  • I can load up on cheap shares.
  • And the larger percent gain gives me more room for error.

The Next +100% NVDA-Related Spike

The best NVDA trade right now won’t come from NVDA.

Instead, my millionaire students and I track smaller stocks that relate to AI and NVDA (like CYN) and we wait for the price action to match our popular trade patterns.

The next cheap AI stock is already setting up.

And NVDA’s push to a $4 trillion market cap. dumps fuel all over this flame.

Cheers

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
