What Does Mr. Market Know? Not Much

Barron’s ran a story last week asking what recent stock price action was telling traders. Did February’s surge mean the economy was about to take off? Could it have indicated tax reform was certain to come quickly? Were this year’s gains just getting started, or about to reverse? Contrary to what many people think, more often than not “the market” knows absolutely nothing.

NVIDIA Corporation Volta Architecture Rumor Emerges

A while back, Fudzilla reported that Volta, like Pascal, will be manufactured in TSMC’s 16-nanometer technology. This rumor made sense, considering Volta is probably going to be launched too early to be manufactured on TSMC’s 7-nanometer technology, and it’s unlikely that NVIDIA would use TSMC’s 10-nanometer technology for high-performance graphics processors, as the 10-nanometer technology is widely viewed as a “stop-gap” technology aimed squarely at mobile processors.

Don’t Ignore These Great Chip Makers: Cramer’s Top Takeaways

When it comes to the semiconductor sector, why does the market obsess about Nvidia ? That was the question that had Jim Cramer scratching his head on Tuesday’s episode of “Mad Money,” as he called the market’s focus on this single chip maker “repulsive.” As the most recent Consumer Electronics Show just proved, there is a lot of really important technology that relies on chips not made by Nvidia, a stock that rallied 220% in 2016.

Nvidia Is Set for a Bull Leg Up

I talked about the fundamental change in demand for the company’s chips. Since then we’ve had the Consumer Electronics Show where Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang detailed partnerships with auto manufacturers such as Audi and auto suppliers like ZF and Bosch to build self-driving cars and supply the automotive industry with technical equipment.

Top Takeaways From CES 2017: Nvidia Struts Its Stuff While Intel and Samsung Look for Growth

Intel gave a first-hand look at VR’s potential and Samsung added to its smart home bet, but Nvidia stole the show by announcing impressive new partnerships and initiatives. In their own ways, Intel and Samsung’s big news events on CES 2017’s press day carried with them important subtexts about where growth in their largest businesses has flattened, and how the companies are looking to respond.

Cramer: ONEOK Looks A-OK to Me

Energy firm ONEOK soared 132% in 2016, trailing only Nvidia as the year’s best-performing S&P 500 component. OKE seems like an odd S&P 500 winner at first glance … until you consider that it came back from the dead like so many oil-and-gas-related companies did.

Why NVIDIA Corporation Stock Popped 15.8% in December

For perspective, NVIDIA stock also skyrocketed nearly 30% in November, with the bulk of the month’s gains coming after the company’s third-quarter results crushed the expectations of analysts on Wall Street.

Nvidia’s Savvy Capital Return Efforts

This program intended to return cash to shareholders through regular dividends and share repurchases. In November 2012, Nvidia announced its first quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share.Based on the closing price on the day of the announcement, this represented an annual dividend yield of 2.4% — a healthy yield for a nimble, relatively small,tech company with above average growth prospects.

Better Buy: NVIDIA Corporation vs. Broadcom
