Thoughts on short term market direction

It may be short lived. The King being, mercurial

he slipped that passed me- ok here goes
In the name of God, Saint Michael, and Saint George, I dub thee knight. Arise, Sir Alex.
@Adam-Kay Careful with that sword, my Lord
I've made a little graph that shows my current risk, and I wasn't happy with it.
NVDA and TSLA were big numbers compared to the rest. Too much money in volatile stocks. I just reduced the risk by reducing the exposure.
Your risk list above is a good one. My volatility appetite is high for 10% of investment, medium for 80%, and low for 10%.
-
Your age and your risk appetite are no doubt closely linked.
I sometimes feel I buck the trend by accepting a reasonable amount of risk (wrong side of 60, unwaged for 4½ years….love how autocarrot changed that to ‘unwashed’
).
‘Low risk’ here for 10% of our ‘wealth’….enough for us to live on for perhaps 3-4 years if needed; ‘med-high’ for the rest
️
That said, we feel fortunate with our lifestyle, & don’t have massively extravagant tastes, so perhaps can afford to take more risks
-
I would say age and risk, other thinks being equal, are linked. But let's not confuse/conflate risk. A real world example. Bob and his wife are 80, they have gilt edged DB pensions index linked paying £6k per month. All their ISA investments(7 figs) are equity and growth. The check list/factors still apply it's just that Bobs situation is he is net in a low risk situation.

Not sure whether to add a new thread for “medium term direction”, but this one could be perhaps extended to that (with medium being beyond 12 months out).
Any speculative thoughts on where things are moving? Feels positive for the major tech firms….although I fully expect some market pull back around/after Christmas (short term) before climbing again late next year. Based on gut reaction feel, & not much else!
(unrelated aside - @Adam-Kay & @Nik-Burrows , you have emails from me…doesn’t appear any way to message people on this forum)

Hi Mike, I responded yesterday.
-
Next Tuesday you will hear from Jensen Huang and Kress (CFO). That will be the driver. I expect them to use many superlatives in describing not just excellent demand but accelerating demand. They could report revenue close to $60B but they are constrained so logic says closer to $56-57 and a guide well into the $60s. Imo it doesn't matter so long as margins are intact and they should be. The situation is if they had 100b in product they'd sell it but they don't (yet).
My numbers are $57B and $1.26(margin 74)and a guide of $64B for Q4 with margins increasing 5-600bps to almost 75%

The guide is 65. Details tomorrow. Exceeded all expectations

Jensen told me Tuesday. My bad

Guide margin 74.8. All gpu’s sold out-China irrelevant obvious. The 60-70-80 cadence is intact. Future up 400 points.
Bubbles forming, private businesses, crowd strike, palantir, anthropic value sept 183 billion. Anthropic value Nov 350b- that’s an interesting valuation delta. However nvidia is not the same. Everything we own is grounded in rationality.
