I’ve been watching the market for years.
Here’s the strangest thing I’ve noticed.
It’s all driven by storytelling.
Why? Well, because once you have a compelling story, people will start paying attention. Optimism builds. Energy spreads. And soon enough, everyone wants a piece of this story. Investors start flooding in. They start buying hard. And before long, it becomes a crowded trade.
Right now, I think that Nvidia is the perfect example of this.
Over the last few years, the story of this Company has basically become the story of AI.
Its market cap has ballooned into multi-trillion-dollar territory. Demand for its products has skyrocketed. What it promises is electrifying.

Just take a look at the numbers above. It’s really no joke.
- In late October 2025, Nvidia touched the $5 trillion mark for the first time. It’s a psychological achievement, as much as a financial one.
- This has made the Company larger than the GDP of most developed countries. Astonishing? Absolutely.

Of course, you can’t call this an overnight success story. In fact, the road to victory hasn’t been an easy one for Nvidia.
- Just take a look at the graph above. It shows you the trajectory of the Company’s stock price over 26 years.
- It’s quite a sight, isn’t it? You can see that Nvidia’s journey has been filled with treacherous cliffs. Hazardous dips. Heart-stopping plunges.
- I suspect that only the most courageous investors would have held on. Enduring that long rollercoaster ride. These are the true believers. The ones with diamond hands.
- What did they get? Well, their ultimate reward was a cumulative return of over 400,000%. This is staggering. It feels like a moonshot.
Right now, the promise of robotics and automation is enormous. But this kind of growth always raises the same question: ‘How much runway is left when everyone already agrees it’s the future?’
- Well, the analysts at Goldman Sachs are feeling bearish. They seem to believe that a lot of the upside for AI might already be priced into American tech stocks. This means it could be tough to extract extra returns from here on out.
- Meanwhile, Tom Lee of Fundstrat is feeling bullish. He actually thinks that a new golden age is upon us. He believes that a Millennial demographic trend is currently underway, which will only peak in 2035.
- So who’s right here? The bears or the bulls? Well, the jury is still out on this.
Still, there’s no hiding the fact that expectations for American tech stocks are high. And along with lofty expectations come lofty prices.
- So, naturally enough, when it gets this expensive, discerning investors will start to look around. They will start to wonder: ‘Where else can I get AI exposure without paying AI prices?’
- Well, to find the answer, some investors are already pivoting away from America. They are starting to cast their gaze to the Far East. Searching for cheaper alternatives in Asia.
- What’s catching their attention now? Well, it’s not China. It’s not Taiwan. It’s not Japan. I’m actually talking about another emerging market that’s been totally ignored up until now…
