Have you ever wondered where the big investors put their money? The fourth quarter of 2024 saw some exciting changes in the portfolio of Bridgewater Associates, Ray Dalio's renowned hedge fund. Two new stocks made it into the top ten! 📈

The main players include tech giants such as Alphabet $GOOGL (-2,28 %)Amazon $AMZN (-2,39 %) and Microsoft $MSFT (-1,57 %) . AMD $AMD (-2,29 %) and NVIDIA $NVDA (-3,63 %) are also strong. Bridgewater's total portfolio amounts to around 21.81 billion US dollars, which underlines the importance of these investments.

The SEC requires institutional investors to disclose their holdings on a quarterly basis. This ensures transparency and gives small investors a glimpse into the strategies of the big players.

What do you think of the current trends in the tech sector? Will these stocks continue to be a good choice?

Can you survive a 70% drawdown in $NVDA (-3,63 %)
$PLTR (-3,33 %)
$MSFT (-1,57 %) ?

or 40% on the S&P?

The introduction of DeepSeek with its R1 model has really shaken up the financial markets. While NVIDIA $NVDA (-3,63 %) and OpenAI are coming under pressure, we see other companies such as AMD $AMD (-2,29 %) and Intel $INTC (-4,07 %)presenting themselves as beneficiaries of the new AI era. 😲

But what does this mean for us investors? The current market turbulence not only offers risks, but also opportunities. Some stocks have already fallen, such as Meta $META (-1,11 %) and Microsoft $MSFT (-1,57 %)but other stocks such as Amazon $AMZN (-2,39 %) and Adobe $ADBE (-2,14 %) are also down.

$NVDA (-3,63 %)

a few years ago, I was 15 and had a little money saved up because I've always been stingy haha

this money I had to invest

I think I made the right choice

to invest my money rather than let it sit in a bank account

I thought a lot about all the things I used in my daily life

at the time I wanted a gamer PC

instead of putting that money into a pc, bottles in nightclubs or clothes, I kept it simple and told myself NVIDIA. A world without chips wouldn't be a world, so I said to myself, I'll buy some!

BUT I was a little afraid of what I might lose

because it was all my savings since I was a kid, odd jobs, birthday party money, pocket money

so I took the plunge and bought some shares $NVDA (-3,63 %) and $AMD

on the one hand, Nvidia performed well and was split by 10, and on the other, AMD didn't perform at all.

it doesn't matter, today I took a small part of the money ( 05/2024) and bought shares $META (-1,11 %) but I'll explain that in another post

The AI start-up DeepSeek is causing a stir! With its latest technology, the DeepSeek-R1, it is challenging the billions in US investment. Its efficiency and low development costs could make the big players sweat. 🤔

The markets have reacted: AI shares came under pressure, and NVIDIA ($NVDA (-3,63 %)) was hit particularly hard. The stock market value fell by almost 600 billion US dollars within one day - a loss of around 17%. Ouch! NVIDIA even lost the title of most valuable company to Apple ($AAPL (+0,26 %)).

Wondering how this price war could evolve? Could DeepSeek ultimately change the market landscape for AI? Let's discuss it! 💬

Hi,

My first post here. Glad to see that there is a very active community here.

Started trading exactly 2 years ago and made good returns with stocks like $RHM (-1,89 %)
$RCL (-3,06 %)
$NVDA (-3,63 %) achieved good returns.

But what's next?

I am in many individual stocks. What I lack is an exit strategy. Does anyone have any tips on how to go about this?

I would also like to move more towards ETFs, I am hardly interested in the classic MSCI World. I would like a little more excitement or focus. Any ideas?

I look forward to your feedback.

NVIDIA ($NVDA (-3,63 %) ) currently dominates the market for AI chips, but the competition never sleeps. A new, exciting chapter could be opening up, as OpenAI is planning to develop its own AI chips. 😮 This could not only make the ChatGPT maker less dependent on NVIDIA, but also shake up the rules of the game in the AI sector.

According to a report by Reuters, OpenAI is already in the process of finalizing the design for its first chip. The plan is to start production in 2026. Interesting, isn't it? 🤔 Would this be the start of a new era for AI technology?

What do you think? Can OpenAI really keep up with $NVDA? Or is it all just hot air? Let us know what you think! 📈
