Right. So, the AI thing. Everyone’s talking about it, aren’t they? Like it’s going to solve all our problems, or, more likely, just make our targeted ads even more accurate. I’ve been staring at charts for days, trying to decide where to put what little money I have left after that disastrous foray into artisanal dog biscuits. It’s come down to Nvidia and Meta. Honestly, it feels less like investing and more like picking between two slightly less terrible options. A list, because lists help:
- Units of Cryptocurrency Lost: 12 (don’t ask).
- Hours Spent Watching Charts: 9.
- Number of Panicked Texts to Friends: 24.
First up, Nvidia. They make these…chips. Apparently, they’re the good ones, the ones that actually do the AI stuff. It’s all very technical, and frankly, makes my head spin. But the numbers are good. Really good. Like, “I could maybe afford a weekend away if I’d bought in six months ago” good. They’re already making a fortune, which is… reassuring. It’s nice when a company actually does something, rather than just promising to disrupt everything with blockchain and avocado toast. Their revenue is soaring, apparently up in the triple digits. It’s all very impressive, but also a little intimidating. It feels…established. Like a sensible pair of shoes. Which, let’s be honest, isn’t really my style, but maybe I’m getting old.
Then there’s Meta. Formerly Facebook. The one where everyone pretends they’re not spending three hours a day scrolling through pictures of other people’s holidays. They’re trying to become an AI giant, which is…ambitious. It’s like deciding you’re going to become a marathon runner after a decade of mostly sitting on the sofa. They want to make their ads even more effective, which, frankly, is terrifying. Do we really need ads that know us better than our own mothers? Still, they’re throwing a lot of money at it. A lot. And they’re trading at a much lower multiple than Nvidia – around 19x forward earnings. Which, in my amateur investor opinion, means it’s cheaper. Though, of course, there’s usually a reason things are cheaper. Like, it might be a terrible investment. But hey, that’s life.
The thing is, Meta isn’t actually making money from AI yet. It’s all future potential. Which is…a bit like dating someone who promises they’ll be a millionaire any day now. You have to decide if you’re willing to take the risk. Nvidia, on the other hand, is already cashing in. It’s the sensible, reliable option. But sensible and reliable aren’t always the most rewarding. Are they? I’m starting to think I need a spreadsheet. Or a therapist. Possibly both.
So, which one to buy? It’s a tough one. Nvidia feels…safe. But Meta feels like it has more upside. It’s a gamble, yes, but sometimes you have to take a gamble. Especially when you’ve already lost money on artisanal dog biscuits. I think, on balance, I’m leaning towards Meta. It’s cheaper, and the potential rewards seem greater. Though, I fully expect to be wrong. I usually am. Will become disciplined long-term investor. (Note to self: Add to list of failed New Year’s resolutions.)
Right. Enough financial analysis. I need a cup of tea and a long lie-down. And possibly a new hobby. Something that doesn’t involve staring at charts and panicking about the future.
