As they say in Australia &#8212; that&#8217;s better than a slap in the belly with a cold fish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When I saw ChatGPT\/generative AI emerge in November 2022, I searched for companies that might <strong>benefit directly\u00a0 in a big way<\/strong> &#8212; not just use it. Companies like Meta, Microsoft, Google, Adobe and Salesforce, were going to use it in their businesses to further their businesses. But none had AI as their central business &#8212; except Nvidia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Frankly, there isn&#8217;t an executive around today as impressive as Jensen Huang, Nvidia&#8217;s president and founder. I&#8217;ve devoured his videos &#8212; some many hours long.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">They contain the vision I don&#8217;t see from the likes of most technology companies &#8212; including Intel&#8217;s boring Pat Gelsinger, or Microsoft&#8217;s rambling Satya Nadella or Facebook&#8217;s flighty Mark Zuckerberg, who tried AR (artificial reality), faltered and is now on a new track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">From a Vision point of view Jensen even leaves Apple&#8217;s Tim Cook in the dust &#8212; a $3,500 headset\u00a0 (called VisionPro) is the best that Tim can do? Are you excited? Are you going to buy one? Not me. Tim should have done rabbit r1.

But go forward, its earnings are exploding. Later this year, it will look less a momentum stock and more of a value stock. Yes, Nvidia as a value stock.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Is Nvidia (NVDA) still a buy?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Damned right, it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There are many great Jensen presentations on YouTube.
