Nvidia (NVDA) has become the first $4 trillion company ever. During the “Liberation Day” April lows, the chip darling nearly tucked under $2 trillion in market cap when the stock acutely sold off to a low intraday print of $86.62. The leading AI stock has been on a parabolic move jumping nearly 70% higher and I believe it is now time to book profits for those who own this wild child. I realize that there is potentially more room to run on this tech favorite, but I want to use options to take some money off the table. Nvidia is now the world’s most valuable company, surpassing both Apple and Microsoft. Those two (also Mag 7 members) hit the $3 trillion mark prior to Nvidia. Microsoft is also one of Nvidia’s biggest and most important customers. Jensen Huang is the first CEO to lead a company in achieving this magnitude of a market valuation. Nvidia spent three decades building a business worth $1 trillion. It spent two years turning itself into a $4 trillion company. This is flat out remarkable.. I am aware that nothing on the horizon really sits as a headwind for Nvidia, but I reflect on an old adage that I learned during the decade I spent in the trading pits in Chicago. “Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.” I was fortunate enough to have bought NVDA stock on the April dip and it has been very tempting to sell the underlying stock or sell any call options as it has climbed in recent months. I somehow refrained. With the market cap milestone met, I believe I now have a contrarian reason to establish an option position in the event markets (or NVDA) take a breather and retrace lower. I am using a risk reversal specifically since I am still long the underlying. In the event you are not long the stock, you will want to consider buying an upside call to define your risk as being short naked calls in NVDA is not suggested.
