<\/p>\nNvidia reports Wednesday night at 5 PM Eastern time, 2 PM Pacific time.<\/p>\n
Its stock has come roaring back. I still own lots, but, sadly not as many as I once owned. Dumb me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nvidia’s earnings will be spectacular. I know that because all Nvidia’s big buyers — data centers, etc. — continue to load up on its chips.<\/p>\n
Like there was no tomorrow.<\/p>\n
If you buy NVDA on Wednesday — before its earnings — you face the likelihood of a drop the following day. Last time it dropped 8% after earnings. That was the perfect time to buy. It may again be. The big brokerage firms have a price target of $150 to $160. That’s 15% above where it is now.<\/p>\n
There are two main sources of demand for Nvidia’s chip: data centers and their customers. Followed up by robots, biotech, virtual factories, self-driving cars.<\/p>\n
You and I are using AI more. I’m addicted to Perplexity. But we (and the user corporations) are not spending mega-bucks on user fees. Yet?<\/p>\n
Take chatbots. They’re the obvious Web site helper That saves on call centers and their people, while selling website visitors faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n
But chatbots have been the big AI disappointment. Take Salesforce. they emailed me this offer:<\/p>\n

I clicked Get The Playbook<\/em> button. I wanted the playbook (as research for this blog). I got this:<\/p>\n I filled the eight boxes in and hit “Download Guide.<\/strong>”\u00a0 Nothing. Then I hit the “Ask Agentforce” <\/strong>(Salesforce’s ChatBot) and got 20 minutes of total running around between Sales Support, Technical Support, Web site Support\u00a0 and eventually real (clueless) people …Nothing. Except a repeated suggestion that “it was my fault” for using the wrong browser. I was using Chrome.<\/p>\n No Guide. Nothing. Endless aggravation.<\/p>\n Chatbots don’t work on Delta Airlines and a million other websites that want to sell me something I want to buy.<\/p>\n There is hope.<\/p>\n Amazon doesn’t use Chatbots. They have oodles of useful information arranged logically.<\/p>\n Recently I went on Delta to book a flight between Boston and Vilnius and return from Tallinn to Boston. Michael and I are going on a Baltics biking trip.<\/p>\n I defy you to find out how to book those flights on Delta’s miserable web site.<\/p>\n Which brings me to my next business. I’m going to be a Web Site Auditor.<\/strong> I will audit web sites to see if I can buy something easily.<\/p>\n I bet 63% of people who land on a website trying to buy something give up. I made that number up but it sounds plausible.<\/p>\n Anyone want me to check out their web site for logic, ease and buy-ability? Send me a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate.<\/p>\n Banking advice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Citibank blocked Susan’s checking account.\u00a0 After 30+ years. The account had plenty of money. There was no hint of fraud. Nothing. Except Citibank decided that they wanted information on me. Now, I’d never used the account, never written a check, didn’t even know how much was in the account.<\/p>\n Just I happened to be on the account from 30+ years back.<\/p>\n I told them I was retired, had a Driver’s License and made $500,000 a year (they believed ,me). Three DocuSigns later, they unblocked her account. It took five days and five hours on the phone to South-East Asia, et al.<\/p>\n All through this agony, they failed to sell me anything. Niente.<\/p>\n Citibank doesn’t seem to have a chatbot, either.<\/p>\n The Little Prince<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It’s perfect for children and grandfathers (like me):<\/p>\n Getting old, continued<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n You need hearing aids, social interaction (a group at your local diner) and a dog to take care of. A little one is easiest.<\/p>\n Personally, I think tennis is the best sport for age. According to Perplexity:<\/p>\n Research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em> found that tennis players tend to live\u00a09.7 years longer<\/strong>\u00a0on average compared to inactive individuals. This is one of the highest increases in life expectancy among various sports.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Salesforce-Disgust-1.jpg\")
