It looks more similar to the 1929 crash to me, where "too big to fail" blue chip stocks were overinvested and overvalued, and the value adjustments rippled through the rest of the economy. If NVIDIA does get a meaningful value adjustment downwards, it'll probably survive, but it'll impact the S&P500. People will need to sell off other stocks to cover the losses, etc. etc.

Yup. Add to that the decade worth of ZIRP following the 2007ff crash and Covid... all that money has to exit the system again eventually.
nvidia's forward p/e is 24. walmart's is 39.
That is exactly the point. These circular deals artificially increase the earnings of company and as a result artificially decrease price–earnings ratio.
What kind of sources do you like to read? Do you have a blog or publish anything? I keep on thinking about this comment and want to hear more of your perspective.
The amount of coping, seething etc at the fact that Nvidia is hilariously profitable leads to some of the funniest cognitive dissonance I’ve seen on the internet.

That seems to indicate the market is more confident in walmart's earnings than nvidia's.
