By Roger Montgomery

Nvidia is increasingly finding itself at the centre of a growing list of round-robin style transactions between artificial intelligence (AI) players that are collectively raising the eyebrows of a variety of reputable investors and industry stalwarts, from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to famed short seller Michael Burry.

Did the artificial intelligence bubble just pop?

By Roger Montgomery

In U. S. trading overnight, Nvidia achieved a market capitalisation of US$5 trillion, after which Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Google’s parent company Alphabet delivered their September quarter earnings. The results were impressive, as expected. Microsoft reported Q1 revenue of US$77. 67 billion, beating estimates of US$75. 33 billion, with earnings per share (EPS) of US$4. 13, surpassing the US$3.

The artificial intelligence web of deals

Earlier this month, Nvidia – the company at the heart of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom – announced it had agreed to invest up to US$100 billion in OpenAI to help the Large Language Model (LLM)-maker fund its data centre build out. In turn, OpenAI agreed to fill those data centres with Nvidia Chips.

Could cracks in U.S. auto loans expose an overvalued bull market?

By Roger Montgomery

As headlines mount, I wonder whether the nascent disorder in U. S. subprime auto loans becomes a bigger fissure into which a stretched stock market could fall. With stock valuations hovering at historically stretched levels, even a hint of a macroeconomic or financial fracture could precipitate a correction.

What the smart money does at the beginning…

By Roger Montgomery

There are many consequences of gold’s vertical ascent to new all-time highs. One of course, is the queues of first-time buyers forming outside gold bullion stores around the world. A more subtle consequence, however, is the emergence of arguments that justify the rally and inspire those queues.

Are cracks forming in the stock market bull run?

By Roger Montgomery

Over the last month, the U. S. stock market has shown signs of shifting priorities. That’s because, surprisingly, the top-performing sectors weren’t the usual suspects. They weren’t the high-flying artificial intelligence (AI), technology, or defence industries, but the more stable and defensive healthcare, utilities, and gold sectors.

Gold’s glitter fades – biggest one-day drop since 2013

While bubble definitions abound, most fall into two camps: those that measure overvaluation and those that observe the behaviours and conditions that typically give rise to it. The most straightforward definition of a bubble is asset prices climbing far above some measure of value, such as earnings, dividends, gross-value-added (GVA) or discounted cash flows.

Hidden in the sands: Iluka’s rare earth revival

By Sean Sequeira

At face value, Iluka Resources (ASX:ILU) is best known as a mineral sands producer. However, the market continues to undervalue the hidden strategic and financial assets embedded across its diversified portfolio. With a current market capitalisation of over A$3 billion, Iluka trades below the implied value of its tangible holdings alone  – ~A$1 billion in mineral sands inventory, ~A$1.
