Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2013 it\u2019s a highly enjoyable privilege.&nbsp; But there are days (generally volatile ones) where I\u2019m more popular than others.&nbsp; And almost every discussion involved some version of \u201cwhy did Nvidia (<span class=\"stock-ticker\" data-stock-ticker=\"NVDA\">NVDA<\/span>) get hit so hard?\u201d&nbsp; Funny, when the stock rallied about 30% in two weeks last month, adding a cool $1 trillion to its market capitalization, no one asked me why. &nbsp;&nbsp;And bear in mind that we haven\u2019t been at these low levels since\u2026 checks notes\u2026 less than a month ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NVDA remains by far the most active stock on our platform, with buying activity far outpacing selling. &nbsp;Many investors have understandably become true believers.&nbsp; Frankly speaking, a lot of people have made A LOT of money in a fairly short period of time, so it makes sense.&nbsp; And the belief is based upon results.&nbsp; I can&#8217;t recall a company so consistently beating on the top and bottom lines, raising guidance, then doing it all again the next quarter.&nbsp; The growth has been stupendous, justifying a big rally, and thrilling many investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current NVDA sell-off is a gut check for sanguine investors.&nbsp; But first, bear in mind that we haven\u2019t been at these low levels since\u2026 checks notes\u2026 less than a month ago.&nbsp; It\u2019s easy to forget that the stock rallied from under $100 to over $130 from August 7<sup>th<\/sup> -21<sup>st<\/sup>.&nbsp; I heard no complaints when the stock was shooting higher because we\u2019ve come to expect that the stock will go up rapidly.&nbsp; It\u2019s become a very volatile stock, so investors who believe in the company had better get used to the swings.&nbsp; Investors love volatility on the way up (aka \u201csocially acceptable volatility\u201d) but hate it on the way down.&nbsp; Unfortunately, one usually brings the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>NVDA 6-Months, Daily Candles<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"746\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2-1100x746.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-211356 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2-1100x746.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2-700x475.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2-768x521.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2-1536x1041.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/Picture1-2.png 1758w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px;

Buy the rumor, sell the news\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I think we&#8217;re at a point where individual investor enthusiasm remains sky high (it never <em>occurred<\/em> to me to attend an earnings watch party) at a time when institutional investors seem to be taking a more sober view.&nbsp; And, because traders react while investors consider, it is understandable why institutional investors might have waited until yesterday to make a move.&nbsp; Many portfolio managers take vacations and send their kids off to college in late August, rather than focus on their work.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some might attribute this to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/macro\/seasonality-but-only-to-a-point\/\">seasonality, which we noted yesterday<\/a>, but there are less emotional, more sober reasons why investors may choose to protect their well-earned profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week\u2019s earnings report reminded us that we have become quite spoiled by NVDA\u2019s consistent ability to beat revenue and earnings estimates, raise guidance, then do it again next quarter.&nbsp; But the magnitude of the beats has been shrinking. &nbsp;As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/campus\/traders-insight\/securities\/stocks\/nvda-atlas-shrugged-barely\/\">pointed out last week<\/a>, NVDA\u2019s EPS beat consensus by 31.07% last August.&nbsp; The level of \u201cbeat\u201d has declined since then to 19.64%, 11.69% and 8.51% ahead of last week\u2019s 5.43%.&nbsp; NVDA\u2019s EPS beats have gone from enormous to pedestrian.&nbsp; A stock with a 50 P\/E needs to be more than pedestrian.&nbsp; At that valuation it needs to be excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s clear that investors have not given up their well-deserved faith in NVDA yet.&nbsp; Only the most robust stocks could be essentially unchanged after receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/ck\/a?!&amp;&amp;p=db184d319676b346JmltdHM9MTcyNTQwODAwMCZpZ3VpZD0wNzgxOWY2MS1jMzdhLTZkMDctMjhiOC04Y2Y0Yzc3YTYzNWMmaW5zaWQ9NTUwMg&amp;ptn=3&amp;ver=2&amp;hsh=3&amp;fclid=07819f61-c37a-6d07-28b8-8cf4c77a635c&amp;psq=nvda+doj&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9maW5hbmNlLnlhaG9vLmNvbS92aWRlby9kb2pzLW52aWRpYS1wcm9iZS1jb3VsZC1tb250aHMtMTUyNTE1NzE3Lmh0bWw&amp;ntb=1\">a subpoena from the Department of Justice<\/a>.&nbsp;
