Nvidia Eddie George picked chipmaker darling Nvidia for its long-term prospects. Oracle shares are up roughly 9% this year. Apple George selected Apple for his second pick. Faced with waning demand and rising competitive pressures, Apple stock has shed nearly 12% this year, making it a weak link among the "Magnificent Seven" tech cohort. The company's legacy of sustainable excellence has also paved the way for cutting-edge technology like Apple Pay and the Apple Watch.

☆ China acquired recently banned Nvidia chips in Super Micro, Dell servers, tenders show

Specifically, the servers contained some of Nvidia's most advanced chips, according to the previously unreported tenders fulfilled between Nov. 20 and Feb. 28. While the U.S. bars Nvidia and its partners from selling advanced chips to China, including via third parties, the sale and purchase of the chips are not illegal in China. Contacted by Reuters, Nvidia said the tenders specify products that were exported and widely available before the restrictions. Daniel Gerkin, a Washington-based partner at law firm Kirkland & Ellis, said Nvidia chips could have been diverted to China without a manufacturer's knowledge, given a lack of visibility into downstream supply chains. It did not respond to subsequent questions about tenders that identified its products as a source of banned Nvidia chips.

At law school, we learned about "proximate cause," one of the few valuable concepts you can take from three years of drudgery. But was that the proximate cause? No, the real proximate cause, the one that's really at fault, was the February unemployment report, which came out on March 8. At the time, many thought the proximate cause of Nvidia's pirouette was the performance of two chipmaker peers. Surely those two updates couldn't be the proximate cause of the peak of Nvidia, right?
