Is this just a general question, or do you actually think Nvidia could lose 70% of its market value?
In short, if you can't "survive" a 40% drop in the S&P, you probably shouldn't be investing. Knowing that markets go up and down, removing the emotion from investing, ensuring you have debts paid off and have savings before investing, will ensure you can survive anything markets throw at you.
So 70% at Palantir would already be very noticeable. That would be 20% of the portfolio. But 1) on the way to -70% I would already shed some of it, still with a good profit. 2) the extremely good share price performance has given the position its high weighting. I am therefore also looking at my investment. And there Palantir has a share of 10.8% (vs. 31.1% of the portfolio).
Will I "survive" a 70 percent DD at NVIDIA? Sure. But my behavior would depend on the circumstances. If it's simply a panic and everyone is selling like frightened chickens with no rhyme or reason, I'm not bothered. Then I would buy more.
But if something has fundamentally changed, then of course I would readjust (but not just at -70%). For a company to "justifiably" fall by 70% - well, there must be *something* wrong with it. I don't see that at all with NVIDIA at the moment.
You know... Itâs about risk management. If youâre overexposed to single stocks, youâre not investing⌠youâre playing roulette. If your name is only Tesla, Palantir, Hims, D-wave.. sure, the house might let you win for a while⌠until it doesnât. And if that pump comes without a parachute ...gravity still works.
A stepwise stop-loss strategy when things go full FOMO and stocks are turbo-overcooked, smart position sizing (1-2% per stock), and some diversification across multiple strong trends mean I donât wake up sweating over one ticker. If Nvidia crashes 70%, my portfolio wouldât even blink. Because I donât do all-in bets.
I think China has a lot of control over how things go. Alongside Trump's protectionism, Taiwan will become a huge issue for the entire tech segment in the future đđ⤾ď¸
