We’ll burn more and more coal to power air conditioners to deal with unbearable global warming until that’s no longer possible.
The financial markets are the same. No reasonable person believes any of this is sane or sustainable. But what happens when the music stops? Very few chairs.
There isn’t a completely objective criteria, from Wikipedia:
Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke also defined the term in 2010: “A too-big-to-fail firm is one whose size, complexity, interconnectedness, and critical functions are such that, should the firm go unexpectedly into liquidation, the rest of the financial system and the economy would face severe adverse consequences.”
NVIDIA currently makes up nearly 7.5% of the S&P 500 (not to mention that they have invested a lot in the other companies and those companies have invested in NVIDIA). If they were to suddenly be liquidated I’d say that would cause ‘severe adverse consequences’ to the economy.
Thank you indeed. On my side I only remembered the news back in November that nvidia weighted 16% of the US GDP. Now of course comparing valuation and GDP is not really meaningful but the idea stuck.
If I wasn’t convinced the entire financial system was fraudulent I would be shorting the fuck out of all of them

Especially since Nvidia has reached the “too big to fail” level; guess who’s gonna pay again for the upcoming crisis?
Source? Not doubting you, just would like to know the criteria.

And it would likely cause a ripple to other tech companies, which which make up roughly 1/3 of the entire US stock market.

Thanks, especially for the figures, that helped a lot.
