Sure enough, the next day began a historic ascent of Apple stock, an in-your-face rally that many thought made no sense.

I know that it seems impossible to ponder Nvidia's stock going any higher or passing Apple and Microsoft and staying ahead of it. Ask yourself, does any company match Jensen and Nvidia right now? I say let others be baffled over the Apple versus Microsoft versus Nvidia conundrum.

As he pushes Meta's efforts to build out this alternative internet, naturally he's been keeping an eye on Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro goggles. That the Vision Pro is an isolating device isn't wrong.
