- Prediction: $200 a Month Invested in Nvidia Will Be Worth This Much by 2035
Investing $200 a month from next month through December 2035 would total $22,000 in contributions over 110 months. The article estimates the position's value at several annualized returns: about $17,677 at a negative 5%, just over $35,000 at 10%, and more than $61,930 at 20%. Nvidia has compounded at an average 63% annually over the past 10 years, but the author says it is unrealistic to expect that pace to repeat given that the company now accounts for about 7% of the total U.S. stock market value. Key risks include supply chain constraints, which Huang described as challenged, possible spending pullbacks by large customers, and rising competition from AMD and from major customers such as Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft that are developing their own AI chips.
- My Nvidia Stock Price Prediction for 2027 Is More Bullish Than You Might Expect
Nvidia shares trade at $214.13, up 15.08% year-to-date and 883.76% over five years, after a 6.61% drop last week in a global tech sell-off over AI funding worries. The consensus price target is $328.72, about 54% above the current price, with 10 Strong Buy, 49 Buy and 1 Sell ratings, and fiscal 2028 EPS estimates rose from $12.7636 to $15.9146 over 90 days. The author says reaching $350 requires a 63% gain, pointing to the Vera Rubin ramp, roughly $1.3 trillion in top-five hyperscaler spending expected in 2027, and guidance for about 70% fiscal 2028 revenue growth. Risks include guidance assuming zero China data center compute revenue, $279 billion in supply commitments, and AI funding worries. The author views a 22x multiple on next year's earnings as reasonable if Vera Rubin ramps as planned.

- 3 AI Stocks Under 27x P E
The article covers AI infrastructure stocks, a group tied to power-hungry data centers and chips that need advanced cooling. NVIDIA (NVDA) is described as the clearest pure play on the build-out, with Compute & Networking tied to AI data centers generating about US$275.4b, Graphics about US$27.6b, and a market value near US$5,359.9b. The article says a $400b annual revenue assumption depends on NVIDIA staying dominant in GPU design and AI software, which successful competition from AMD, Intel or a Chinese firm could undermine. Cerebras Systems (CBRS) generates about US$680.7 million from semiconductors tied to its AI compute platform, with a market value near US$25.9b. AWS integrated Cerebras CS-3 systems into Amazon Bedrock in March 2026, which the article says delivers up to a 15x speed improvement over monolithic GPU setups.
- Prediction: Nvidia’s Road to $1 Trillion in Annual Revenue Could Transform Its Stock
Nvidia reported $96.22B in quarterly revenue, up 105.8% year over year, and guided to $108B for the current quarter, yet the stock is up only 15.08% year to date. The article says reaching $350 in 2027 would require a 63.5% gain from the $214.13 price, and its model's central estimate is $258.42. Key risks include investor worries about AI funding, $279B in supply commitments, and guidance that excludes China data center compute revenue. The author says this scenario depends on Vera Rubin ramping as the fastest launch in Nvidia's history, supply easing and markets not pricing in a funding scare, calling $350 'a stretch, but a credible one.'

- Dave Ramsey Calls 2026 Crash Predictions “Freaking Asinine.” Here’s What the Data Says.
Dave Ramsey told listener Mark from Arizona on The Ramsey Show on October 16, 2026 that predicting stocks will halve in 2026 while company profits stay the same is 'freaking asinine'. The article agrees that staying invested is correct but says the halving claim exaggerates the case, since prices can fall sharply on fear even when profits hold, while long-run returns follow earnings. It cites SPY's 255% gain over 10 years and 12% so far in 2026, the VIX rising from 15 to 19, and real GDP growth of 2% annualized. The real risk depends on when withdrawals start: a retiree pulling $20,000 from a $400,000 portfolio would see the withdrawal rate rise from 5% to about 7% after a 30% drop, forcing sales at low prices. The article suggests money needed within about five years belongs in cash or bonds, and that savers compare their mix with a target-date fund for their retirement year.
- Amazon Just Walked Away From a $427 Million Data Center Plan After Neighbors Fought Back
Loudoun County's Board of Supervisors announced on October 20, 2026 the 'Project Potomac Promise' agreement, under which Amazon withdraws its application to build data centers on about 122 acres of the former George Washington University campus in Ashburn, Virginia, and forgoes legal action. Amazon Data Services bought the land on March 2, 2026 for about $427.3 million, roughly four times its assessed value. Under the deal, Amazon will help rezone the site for mixed use, mainly housing, donate about 25 acres along Route 7 for an arts center and an indoor sports facility, and contribute to the county's Affordable Housing Trust Fund and scholarships, with the amounts undisclosed. A national poll conducted March 2 to 18, 2026 found 71% of Americans opposed AI data centers in their area, while Loudoun is moving toward a pause of up to a year on new data center applications.
- Rivian Shines as a Bright Spot in a Down U.S. EV Market, and Surprisingly, It's Not All R2 Driven
August EV registration data, which exclude hybrids and typically lag sales by about a month, show U.S. EV registrations down 36% year over year, partly because buyers rushed purchases before the $7,500 federal EV tax credit expired on September 30, 2025. Rivian climbed from No. 10 to No. 2, trailing only Tesla, with 1,554 R2 registrations and Amazon-destined electric vans up 87% to 2,165, lifting its total registrations 33% despite a 53% drop in the R1S. Tesla still led with 48,083 registrations, nearly 10 times Rivian's 4,995, and its share of the EV market rose to 54.5% even as its registrations fell 14%. The article notes that bright spots such as Rivian, Toyota and Subaru were driven by new model launches, and that Rivian may keep its No. 2 spot for some time as a second production shift was added late in the third quarter and a third is planned for next year.
- Hong Kong's Biggest Bank Puts a Stablecoin in 3 Million Wallets
HSBC has launched RedCoin, a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin licensed by the HKMA, on its PayMe app, letting more than 3.3 million users activate wallets in the coming days to send money to friends or pay at more than 100,000 merchants. HSBC's reserve tracker showed about $10.2 million of RedCoin in circulation shortly after launch, backed by $10.4 million held entirely in cash. The token runs on HSBC's private ledger rather than a public blockchain, and it is not a bank deposit, so Hong Kong's Deposit Protection Scheme does not cover it. HSBC plans to add the token to its HK Mobile Banking app later this year, while 21 lenders including Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have announced a joint dollar stablecoin targeting a first-half 2027 launch. The first independent reserve attestation is expected after the fourth quarter of 2026.
- China Opens 'Century Canal' as Multiple Shipping Routes Shift: What Opportunities for Vietnam?
Lucio Blanco Pitlo III, a board member of a Chinese studies association in the Philippines, writes that the 134.2 km Binglu Canal links the Beibu Gulf with inland waterways in Guangxi, shortening sea access for southwest China and giving ASEAN countries a new route to Western markets via the China-Europe rail network. The 72.7 billion yuan (about $10.8 billion) project, completed in four years, opened on September 16 to vessels of up to 5,000 tons. Guangxi officials forecast logistics costs will fall 18-30%, saving over 5 billion yuan ($745 million) a year. Container throughput at Beibu Gulf Port rose from 2.28 million TEU in 2017 to 10.06 million TEU last year. The author says Vietnam could benefit considerably from its proximity, citing a container ship that carried 40 containers of Vietnamese rice bran on a round trip from Nanning to Can Tho.
- Berkshire shares shake the Buffett blues with new all-time highs
Berkshire Hathaway's Class A and B shares closed at all-time highs this week, erasing the losses since Warren Buffett announced at the 2025 shareholders meeting that he would step down as CEO. Class A closed at $820,500 and Class B at $546.97 on Thursday, compared with $809,350 and $539.80 on May 2, 2025. Class B has gained almost 9% since early October, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.4% and the NYSE FANG+ index fell almost 4.8% as investors rotated out of tech and AI stocks. Commentators cited Berkshire's more than $350 billion in cash and close to $50 billion in annual after-tax earnings as a defensive profile, while CEO Greg Abel sees supplying energy to AI data centers as a significant opportunity. Berkshire also holds a $34 billion position in Alphabet.
