Do you wonder why Nvidia's stock price keeps going up even though its price-to-earnings ratio is approaching 100 times, its price-to-sales ratio has surpassed 30 times, and its revenue growth has slowed down from 90% in Q2 2024 to 19% in Q4? It all started when the company unexpectedly doubled its revenue in one quarter due to demand for data centers that can handle artificial intelligence applications and the excitement around its hottest customer, OpenAI ChatGPT. There is no doubt that Nvidia is a great company. But it is certainly worth less than Amazon, with 10% of Amazon's revenue and half of its Free Cash Flow. What's going on? In today's mini-episode, I walk you through three structural changes in the stock market that fuel Nvidia's rally, irrespective of valuation and sanity.

They are priced significantly lower than the market average and their peers but haven't moved much in the last five years. On the other hand, stocks like Nvidia are boasting almost 100 times the price-to-earnings ratio, and investors are still pouring money into it.  Examples like these have led to the conclusion that the value investing methodology isn't working anymore.  But there is one man who has beaten the odds! David Einhorn, the famous hedge fund manager and founder of Greenlight Capital, is a value investor who has managed to beat the market for quite some time. With roughly 13% annualized return in the last decade, David's fund has beaten the S&P 500's annualized 9% return since its inception 28 years ago.  Today, I break down David Einhorn's market-beating VALUE investing method and give you two stock ideas based on David Einhorn's methodology that you may consider researching and buying now.  Let's talk about them!

If investment risk is defined as the probability of permanent loss of your money, how likely is it for you to lose it if you invest in Bitcoin, specifically in the newly approved Bitcoin ETFs? We all heard Warren Buffett rejecting Bitcoin as a good fundamental investment because it has no intrinsic value. Still, some of the largest asset managers in the world launched a Bitcoin ETF only a few days ago. Are they stupid? Don't they know the same things Warren Buffett knows? The good news is that they must disclose all the risks they see in Bitcoin in the prospectus document accompanying each ETF. And let me tell you, the risks list is long and unbelievable. In today's episode, I review BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (Ticker: IBIT) document and discuss the unbelievable risks this world-class asset management firm sees in Bitcoin.

But some of the best investors in the world don't agree with those. Warren Buffett is against diversification and calls it a protection against ignorance. However, prominent investors like Ray Dalio and most financial advisors advocate diversification and similar risk management strategies. The reason for these opinion differences is that risk is defined differently by different investors. ​In today's episode, I want to introduce you to the real definition of risk and give you a practical approach to reducing it regardless of whether you are in camp Warren or agree with Ray Dalio and most financial advisors.

Only a few years ago, Uber was losing a couple of billion dollars each year, had billions of dollars in debt, and needed an actual path to profitability. I thought Uber was going bankrupt. But things have changed! DRASTICALLY! Uber is profitable and generated almost one billion dollars in free cash flow in a quarter. The company is also expected to join the S&P 500 index on December 18th, 2023, and things are looking GOOD on the financial statements. In today's episode, I dig into what has changed inside Uber's financial statements and discuss whether Uber is a buy now.   Resources: 👉 Research Uber's stock: https://stockcard.io/UBER 📺 Watch Affirm's fundamental analysis: https://youtu.be/XilPeXYPiNo

Have you looked at Affirm's stock price chart in the last few days? Thirty days ago, it was $20 per share. Now, it is $42, 102% higher. Despite the stock price doubling after its earnings report, the average analysts' price target is 50% lower than its current price. Who is right?  Is Affirm 100% better fundamentally than where it was 30 days ago, or are the financial analysts right about Affirm and the stock being overvalued?  In today's episode, I discuss Affirm's fundamental strengths and risks and whether the stock is a buy now for me.
