I/O Fund CEO and Lead Tech Analyst Beth Kindig joins Ash Bennington, Senior Host & Crypto Editor of Real Vision, to discuss the explosive growth and future potential of Nvidia, the latest semiconductor developments, and much more. Beth explains why she remains bullish on Nvidia but is not a buyer now, how her $10 trillion market cap prediction is progressing, and how Nvidia’s CUDA platform has created an “unbreachable” moat.
Nvidia’s product roadmap is very strong, and companies focussing on custom silicon chips are having a hard time keeping up, especially with the introduction of the new Blackwell systems. The company has created an additional layer of moat with the move to release AI chips to a yearly cadence, so it’s even impossible for the Big Tech companies to catch up with Nvidia right now.
We are not buying Nvidia right now because SMH is not supporting its all-time high, and we would like to see that resolved before we resume buying Nvidia. The PC rebound is also slower than expected, so SMH has not been able to keep up with the three AI stocks, namely Nvidia, TSMC, and Broadcom.

Lead Tech Analyst Beth Kindig had the pleasure of joining Darius Dale, CEO and co-founder of 42 Macro. Darius has a strong background in macroeconomics and specializes in a quantitative economic outlook and investment strategy.
In the interview, the two of them discuss the I/O Fund’s idea generation process, outlook for where we are in the tech cycle, why the I/O Fund is not buying Nvidia right now, and other active risk management strategies that help our firm to outperform the market.

Current Tech Cycle
In the clip below, Beth explains why the I/O Fund is not buyers of stocks at the moment. She stated: “Over the next three to six months, we are not buyers […] of the stocks are reaching our price targets and [we are] waiting for the next sell-off to buy quality names at lower price levels. So, in terms of the tech cycle this is not a time that we are buying stocks.”

Rolling the Dice on Getting Nvidia Lower:
In the interview, Beth Kindig stated: “We ultimately think you can get Nvidia lower than where it is trading now. We are likely to take gains between $120 and $150 based on technical levels. The valuation has finally caught up to the fundamentals, and we have about six to nine months before Blackwell arrives.”
Earlier this year, Beth Kindig also spoke on Yahoo Finance that Blackwell Shipments are ‘not a concern’ to clear the noise that investors had about the delay in Blackwell chips. Also, we could expect fireworks in the first half of 2025 due to Blackwell. She also boldly wrote The Information was exaggerating the Blackwell delay, and recently stated Nvidia would reach a $10 trillion market cap following her prescient call years ago that Nvidia would surpass Apple’s valuation.
Despite Beth’s bullish stance, she stresses the importance of using technical analysis, as tech investing is sentiment-driven and has proven to have stellar returns in the past. I/O Fund has a history of buying Nvidia at low prices. The first entry was $3.15 in December 2018 and provided 9 buy alerts below $20 for Nvidia. The I/O Fund is preparing to repeat the process of buying low for the benefit of their Premium Members, who receive real-time trade alerts for every entry.
Nvidia is NOT Cisco: Why AI is Nothing Like Dot-Com
In this interview, Beth Kindig explains the key difference between the dot-com bubble period and the current AI opportunity. The internet is open source and democratized. Any person can easily put up a website and nobody owns the internet. On the other hand, AI is proprietary and the companies own their own models. The number of companies that can invest in training LLMs are very few, at this time. This fundamental difference suggests that a direct parallel between the dot-com bubble and the current AI boom is not applicable.
The company also highlighted earlier this year that the NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise software subscription is $4,500 per GPU per year, which further highlights the point that Nvidia cannot be compared to Cisco.
Colette Kress, CFO of Nvidia, highlighted in the Q1 earnings call the return on investment for Cloud Service Providers by renting GPUs. “For every $1 spent on NVIDIA AI infrastructure, cloud providers have an opportunity to earn $5 in GPU instant hosting revenue over four years. NVIDIA's rich software stack and ecosystem and tight integration with cloud providers makes it easy for end customers up and running on NVIDIA GPU instances in the public cloud.” This sheds light on why capex budgets continue to grow.

Beth Kindig has also discussed on X.com that even though shares rose more than 1,000% since 2022 lows, Nvidia’s forward P/E did not reach the heights of Cisco in 2022, suggesting that it’s not accurate to drawing parallels between the two:
Risk Management
Beth also says that diversification is not a good strategy for tech investors. Instead, the I/O Fund allocates 20% of our portfolio to a promising stock. She also points out that broad market performance is equally important for tech stocks to perform well and, finally, to adhere to stop-loss orders. The I/O Fund has cut positions on the stocks that we are long-term bullish in an attempt to buy at lower levels. She provides the example of how our firm has actively managed Microsoft in the interview.
While Wall Street is worried about how much AI is costing, the I/O Fund is busy calculating how big the AI opportunity can get in the next few years and how investors can participate.
