Nvidia Earnings Week and Why I'm Not Worried About the Semiconductor Pullback

from Rigatoni Capital Podcast · host Colin Santucci

Semiconductors are pulling back and the dopamine hits from watching the SMH go vertical are slowing down. This morning I talk about why this is completely normal heading into a big earnings week. Nvidia reports Wednesday, Walmart and John Deere Thursday morning, Workday Thursday after close, and Cava tonight. I share my honest take on Walmart now being in the Nasdaq 100 and why I am embracing it. I shout out Graham Stephan's breakdown of the Trump IRA and why a taxable brokerage buying QQQ, VTI, or FRDM might just be simpler for most people. CrowdStrike and Palo Alto are flashing as leading indicators for where software could bounce, and I close with a suggestion: spend this summer researching Bitcoin as an asset class.
