Is Winter coming for NVIDIA?

June 8, 2024

This is not financial advice and can you can lose a lot of money implementing this hedge strategy. This is what we are doing at Creatix. We hold long positions on exchange traded funds (ETFs) that mimic the performance of the S&P 500, the S&P Completion Index, the MSCI All Country World Investable Market Index, and cash. 80% of our investment portfolio is equally divided on those ETFs and cash in equal parts. On the remaining 20% of our portfolio, we are mostly short on NVIDIA; long on about 150 ETFs across all imaginable sectors, and long on the Japanese Yen, the Euro, the British Pound, the Australian Dollar, and the Swiss Franc.  

Although we hold long positions on the S&P 500, the concern is that only six companies account for 30% of the value of the S&P 500. These six companies can be remembered using the acronym MANAMA standing for Microsoft, Apple. NVIDIA, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon (MANAMA). As you can see, all these companies are technology companies. In addition, with the exception perhaps of Apple, the valuation of the MANAMA companies is heavily influenced by the AI boom or "bubble". It is a heresy to call the AI boom a bubble. Yet, every day that NVIDIA, the poster child of the AI "boom" continues to rise exuberantly, the "bubble" concerns increases. 

Human history tends to repeat itself because humans have not changed that much intrinsically in millennia. Technologies (tools and methods) have changed significantly. Humans themselves have not changed much. Humans have learned many new tricks, but are fundamentally the same emotional primates of always. 

Humans are emotional creatures first and rational beings later. Emotions come first; rationalizations follow. The main two emotions controlling human behavior are fear and greed. These two emotions are driving in part the AI "boom", which may be turning into a "bubble". Investors are greedy of the prospective financial rewards of owning AI related stocks like NVIDIA, and are fearful of missing out. These two emotions will most likely keep fueling a boom that may quickly turn into a bubble susceptible of burst at any moment. An overall market correction of 20% before the November elections is not implausible. NVIDIA could temporarily shed almost 50% of its current value in a few days.

Will Tariffs Reduce the National Debt?

Creatix / June 30, 2025 The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34.7 trillion , and the cost of servicing that debt— just the interest payments—has soared to over $1 trillion annually as of mid-2025. This marks a historic shift: we now spend more just paying interest on the National debt than on defense, Medicare, or any single discretionary program. Economists warn that unless fiscal policy changes, interest costs will crowd out critical investments in infrastructure, education, and innovation, deepening the structural debt burden for future generations. From Osama to MAGA OBBA: the path to U.S. bankruptcy. Osama Bin Laden "succeeded" in putting us in a path to bankruptcy. The U.S. national debt began to increase dramatically after 9/11, marking a sharp departure from the budget surpluses of the late 1990s. In response to the terrorist attacks, the U.S. launched costly wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while also implementing sweeping tax cuts under the Bush administration. These...

Chinese AI Robots Everywhere By the 2050s: Are you Ready?

Creatix / November 8, 2026 AI Robots Everywhere by the 2050s: Are You Ready? By the 2050s , artificial intelligence and robotics could merge into the most transformative household revolution since electricity. Analysts forecast trillions in market value for humanoid and service robots, and billions of units operating globally. The question isn’t if they’ll be everywhere—it’s whether we’re ready for it. The 2050s Robot Boom By mid-century, expect AI robots to clean, cook, carry, and even care. Thanks to exponential progress in AI reasoning, computer vision, and robotics hardware , the machines we see today in factories or labs will become accessible home companions. Costs will plummet as production scales, while software will learn from vast shared data networks—meaning every robot gets smarter as one learns. Economic studies suggest the global humanoid-robot market could exceed $5 trillion by 2050 , transforming domestic life, eldercare, and even education. What smartphones did f...

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...
