Nvidia Joins the Dow, Market Fuel & Equity Index Annuities

In this week’s episode, the Money Wise guys discuss Nvidia’s addition to the Dow, what will continue to fuel the current bull market, and last week’s numbers from Wall Street. The Dow was up 2.0%, the S&P 500 was up 1.7%, and the NASDAQ was up 1.7%. YTD the Dow is up 17.5%, the S&P 500 is up 25.1%, and the NASDAQ is up 26.6%. The guys begin the show by discussing Nvidia’s (NVDA)  recent addition to the Dow and how it is likely to help keep the Dow more in line with the other major indexes. Nvidia earnings also came out last week, and the Money Wise guys discuss what happens if the company can’t fulfill demand in the way the market expects. They dig further into Nvidia’s performance in recent years, discussing how you’d likely have to go back to the dot-com era to find another company that has gone this far this fast – and after being completely unloved by Wall Street before the AI boom, too. The guys also discuss trends in market breadth and what will continue to fuel the bull market.
