Nvidia crossed the $5 trillion mark and at this point the question is not whether you own it, it is whether you can find a fund that does not. S&P 500 index? Nvidia. Growth fund? Nvidia. That international fund you bought for diversification? Somehow, through suppliers, also Nvidia.

None of this means the company is overvalued. It prints money at a scale that breaks spreadsheet formatting. It means the market has one engine, and everyone on the plane should at least know that.
