(NVDA), (AAPL), (NFLX), (AMD), (IBM), (AMZN), (GOOGL), (META) I was sipping an overpriced airport cappuccino when Jensen Huang strutted onto the GTC 2025 stage. My seatmate didn’t recognize him, but I’d been at a private dinner with one of Nvidia’s VPs the night before. After 40 years covering tech from Tokyo to Wall Street, you […]
