Probably the AT effect as it's the only review up in English. Just keep reloading and it will come up. Once you get a page, the Table of Conrtents is another way to access the article.


A VERY Big egg.

Bear market has always provided good opprtunities for investment, however I don't think Nvidia is one of those opprtunities. If it was me, I would gamble on the stock of United airlines which can be bought for pennies now, and sit in for a long haul. I am pretty sure that they will come out of bankruptcy restructuring in few years and that stock will pay off handsomely. Then again, I am only thinking long-term.

But you also run the risk that when it comes out of bankruptcy the current common shares will become worthless and new ones will be issued to new investors, for example kmart, where the current shareholders will probably only get about 2.5% of the new shares proposed and their current ones will be completely valueless.

When it was mentioned here last year (you?) and it went below $10 it sounded great, and it did rally, but has since come back. I'm not one to 'return to the well' too many times tho...if its at $10 again its probably not as oversold as it was the first time, which means you might have a good chance to get it lower than this.

Unfortunately, things aren't looking good for NVidia. Their new flagship GeForce FX graphics card doesn't seem to be a superior product to the ATI's Radeon 9700, yet it probably costs more to produce due to it's complex cooling and board design. It's also late to market, which means that ATI might have a superior card out soon.

Combine this with poor sales of AMD processors (which hurts their NForce motherboard chipset sales), and poor sales of the XBox (which Nvidia makes chipsets for), and you end up with with a tech company that's in trouble. I wouldn't be suprised it Nvidia was down to $5 a share within 6 months.

I agree. But that's the part of a game called stockmarket, they payoffs maybe great and so are the losses.

ATI's in the 4's... I've made quite a bit of money from both nvidia & ATI. bought into Nvidia around 12, sold @ 16. bought ATI in low 5's, sold @ high 7's. THey're both back down to the low ranges though, I would think of moving more money into them, but all my doughs tied up in lucent right now. Bought in @ 1.43, and its @ 1.96 now. Not sure exactly when I want to sell though... just might hold onto it for a few years and see if it hits double digits =\
