Chatgpt gave me the same output as google. You just dont know how to use it. Plus “Bottom line: You can expect around $500 – $550 for a standard RTX 5070 in the U.S. Right now some deals hit $499, which is a solid discount. If you tell me your region (state/country), I can check local prices for you.”
ChatGPT doesn’t replace search for buying tasks. For transactional queries, a tiny search like **“RTX 5070”** gives live prices, stock, and checkout in one click—no need for a cumbersome LLM.
Solid core with RTX, MFST, NVDA, and COST... I've got Lulu in at a similar sizing in my portfolio (posted on this thread). I like their value right now and think the company will keep cruising along... I've also been thinking about adding OTIS. I think it's a hold forever stock.... BBWI and Rivian jump out at me as the two I wouldn't buy when I've looked at them in the past.

Nvdia just announced a new 50 Billion partnership with itself to develop its new JensenGPT model. The CEO explained today: "We looked at every potential partner in the industry," Huang told reporters while standing in front of a massive screen displaying his own face. "And we realized nobody understands our vision better than we do. This partnership with ourselves just made sense." The $50 billion deal, which NVIDIA will pay to itself in a mix of stock, cash, and limited-edition RTX 5090 graphics cards, will see the company's AI division working closely with its other AI division to build an artificial intelligence trained exclusively on Huang's keynote presentations, earnings calls, and an estimated 10,000 hours of footage of him gesturing enthusiastically at data center racks. Wall Street responded positively to the news, with NVIDIA's stock rising 12% on speculation that the company might announce a partnership with itself again next quarter.
I’m buying an RTX 5080 this week, thanks daddy j
Congrats brother. I am exactly at the same point, but in €, not USD. Thanks to RCAT, RKLB, ACHR, ORCL and RTX.

RTX dumping so insiders can buy up before we invade Venezuela
Bought RTX and it dropped 15 cents cmon guys Holding for equity reasons but whereee is my 161 Morgan Stanley just lowered expectations though :(
Is RTX really dumping on the prospect of peace in the middle east? Because as long as we've had armies, we haven't had peace in the middle east.

Calls on RTX ! these nvda chips sold to sand peeps sound like hamas pagers .....
Probably defense stocks like RTX

It will never not be funny that the DOW replaced RTX with HON - its gone o where in four years
Thanks that helps a bit. Based on what you provided EUDF looks like a fine investment. Rheinmetall is probably a big reason for it's overvalued data, which in this case isn't a concern for myself. DFND while I don't have the aggregate data and can't make a solid claim because of that, I think it's composition is reasonable. GE, RTX, and Boeing aren't my favorite stocks but the expose you to US assets is good diversification in a EU defence ETF. If you want just one ETF I would recommend EUDF first and wouldn't advise against including DFND if you want. I would cut that third ETF for sure. Also you don't need to worry about overlap in ETFs or your holdings too much. If you have €100 and invest half in stock AAA and the other half in ETF ZZZ which has 10% AAA it's as though you have €60 in AAA and €40 in the ETF minus AAA. That's ok so long as you're aware of the overlap and account for that. Also legally I am not your financial advisor, this is merely advice from an Internet stranger.
Thank you, I really appreciate this! For what it's worth, they have the following companies as a top: €DFND - GE (14%), RTX (10%), Boeing (7%), Airbus, Rolls Roye, Safran, Rheinmetall, Lockheed, General Dyn (in this order of biggest%) €EUDF holds - Rheinmetall (13%), Leonardo (12%), Bae Sytems, Thales, Rolls Roye, Saab, Safran, Airbus, Kongsberg Sorry I didn't type all of them out but these are the main. Lots of overlap as you can see...
NVDA, TEM, and RTX are big buys
Will stocks like LMT and RTX and other defense companies start to drop with gov. Shut down or will that take prolonged weeks of shutdown to be affected
Will we see a drop today with companies like RTX/LMT/L3H given the shutdown? Or will those take a few weeks to start going down it shutdown isnt resolved quick
Don't forget RTX. Ripping! Love it.

Whats everyones thoughts on RTX
Nvidia 6090 RTX - Intel made in America edition -> $1499 Nvidia 6090 RTX - Unpatriotic leftist Lunatic edition -> $5499
I tried to buy the bottom of RTX today and bought puts instead of calls.
Ain't no way RTX drops 3% tomorrow 👀
My thesis is BA is in anything that flies, bombs, missiles, F-47. They also are signing deals left right and center via these trade deals the US is making. If BA can figure out it's wide body production issues, this should be a 300$+ stock. I know RTX is the play, I just find them a tad expensive at the moment.
Oh man I’d do RTX but never BA since 2018
Just bought some BA and LMT...if the US does go to war, these 2 should do very well. would love some RTX and GD, but will wait for a little pullback.
Start a business in your garage. Buy an RTX gaming rig and put out a press release saying you've partnered with Nvidia. 🌙🚀
Is RTX a buy? Feel like I missed out
Got a Raytheon (RTX) internship interview coming up, any tips🙏
Yeah, 100% agree. I only dabble in individual stocks that I trust in the long-term (I have GOOG, WMT, RTX and UNH) and the large majority of my money (around 70%) is parked in diversified ETFs. If the market goes down, I’ll just be happy to buy more as long as I have a strong work income. Options is another beast, I don’t think the majority of people should be trading those tbh
Nvidia won because they’re the best at creating GPUs. I’ve been paying attention to this space for a while. Nvidia beleived that ray tracing RTX was the future of GPU architecture. You still need go convince programmers to optimize their programs for Nvidia architecture. So while AI may not last, if those data centers are there, programmers will want to use them. Which means more infrastructure will prefer Nvidia an architecture, and then they will continue that architecture into the future. Think of its more, Nvidia is prepping itself to be the C# of GPU architecture.
I don’t work at Intel or NVIDIA, but I do hold shares in both (along with hundreds of other companies). So yes, I’m biased but mainly I’m a longtime PC enthusiast who follows tech history closely. A lot of analysts are hyper-focused on NVIDIA’s $5B stock purchase of Intel shares, or on whether NVIDIA will fully commit to Intel’s foundries. Honestly, those tidbits miss the bigger picture. Intel will design custom x86 CPUs specifically for NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure platforms. That tight co-design is aimed at making AI workloads scale more efficiently which is a huge deal given the demand curve we see. Intel confirmed it will build x86 SoCs that incorporate NVIDIA RTX GPU chiplets, on a single socket, linked by NVIDIA’s NVLink. This means CPU + GPU no longer need to communicate across slower bridges. Lower latency, higher efficiency. More compact designs with better power/performance ratios. That’s not speculation it’s straight from the press release. Today’s AI feels powerful, but it’s still bottlenecked by architecture. Shared-socket integration could make personalization, privacy, and on-device AI far more practical. Imagine running advanced AI locally instead of sending everything to the cloud! For years, competitive tension kept these two in separate lanes. With U.S. government support for domestic semiconductor collaboration, the door is now wide open and both companies are seizing the opportunity. Whether you’re bullish or skeptical, this is the kind of architectural shift that rarely happens. Personally, I think Intel and NVIDIA are undervalued relative to the potential upside here. On the personal computing evolution timeline, this feels like one of those rare “inflection points.” We’ve barely seen the beginning of what Intel + NVIDIA can do together.

They are all big market capitalization companirs. Pay more tax to allow selling AI strategic chip to China from Nvidia. Now China had T figured out. No Nvidia [RTX Pro 6000D](https://www.google.com/search?q=RTX+Pro+6000D&oq=did+china+just+impose+embargo+to+nvidia+chips%3F&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIHCAYQIRirAjIHCAcQIRirAjIHCAgQIRifBTIHCAkQIRifBdIBCTIxOTExajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfBmHy-IVciKXDCaUKph79_tJDE4Q42eb7Ycy90Nl1pr9gtCc9S_SGzo0yfXLsopeo3YCsKC4q4mNrejNS-XnWouhJEliEEfiD0JQi7ESx7Eppi66WcJ2dgXvHXhmbbr_isF56tYeRpyYWdx7FQrgX-zG6oM6hVK8YJwFddQjl-qx1o&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwjI25L6keqPAxXNIkQIHTNPBMEQgK4QegQIARAF)! T froze $400M grant for weapons delivered to Taiwan let it fend for itself life as a concession. For the first time he is favoring Tictok after he finds out his young voters use that site. He saw Trump noted that the Tictok had helped him gain support among young voters in 2024. He concluded that banning TikTok would hurt his popularity and had an advantage to Meta, he views as an "enemy of the people". T only thinks about himself with little concern for people safety, easily fell into geopolitical baits. No, he will not surround with poor people. Likes billionaires and blondes.
Maybe it's a cyber secure airline check-in system to compete with RTX?
At airports in the U.S. BBAI systems handle immigration and customs functions. The systems taken down by this cyber attack are from a subsidiary of RTX and are therefore likely dated and insecure. A case can be made that companies like BBAI could benefit from any changes/upgrades made after this attack.
Someone smarter than me have any opinion on how RTX will do on Monday after their Cybersecurity attack Friday night?
This is a game-changing collaboration. The x86 and RTX integration could seriously disrupt the PC and datacenter markets. NVIDIA gains x86 flexibility, Intel gets cutting-edge GPU tech. Gonna be interesting to see how the software ecosystem adapts to this.
[Huawei has pulled back the curtain on its AI ambitions](https://sg.news.yahoo.com/tech-war-huawei-trumpets-ai-093000133.html). At its annual Connect conference, the company unveiled the Atlas 950 and 960 SuperPoDs, AI clusters built entirely with Chinese chipmaking processes. These systems aggregate thousands of Ascend chips, sidestepping Nvidia’s hardware amid tightening US export controls. Huawei says its architecture [offers unmatched computing power and scalability](https://sg.news.yahoo.com/huawei-announces-two-supercomputing-ai-030347768.html). The launch comes as Beijing reportedly ordered tech giants like Alibaba and ByteDance to halt purchases of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chips. [Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang called the move “disappointing”](https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-ceo-disappointed-over-china-135242372.html), but acknowledged the geopolitical reality. [Huawei’s roadmap](https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/factbox-key-products-huaweis-ai-101530370.html) includes annual chip releases, doubling compute power with each iteration. The Ascend 950PR is due in Q1 2026, followed by the 960 and 970 chips through 2028. Experts say [Huawei is using interconnect architecture](https://sg.news.yahoo.com/huawei-plans-outperform-global-tech-102217556.html) to overcome chip limitations, creating superclusters that rival Nvidia’s best, even with less powerful semiconductors.
**Jensen Huang**: “This historic collaboration tightly couples NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing stack with Intel’s CPUs and the vast x86 ecosystem — a fusion of two world-class platforms. Together, we will expand our ecosystems and lay the foundation for the next era of computing.” **Data centers**: "Intel will build NVIDIA-custom x86 CPUs that NVIDIA will integrate into its AI infrastructure platforms and offer to the market." **Personal computing**: :Intel will build and offer to the market x86 system-on-chips (SOCs) that integrate NVIDIA RTX GPU chiplets. These new x86 RTX SOCs will power a wide range of PCs that demand integration of world-class CPUs and GPUs." https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-and-intel-to-develop-ai-infrastructure-and-personal-computing-products
NVDA is in need of foundry biz - to balance dependency on TSMC. Also, NVDA is looking to move into edge devices for AI...partnership with Intel might be a way in: "In early 2025, Nvidia announced “NVIDIA AI Foundation Models for RTX AI PCs” — microservices (NIM) and AI blueprints to run AI agents and workflows locally on RTX AI-PCs."
If you guys are interested in my next play, I'm going all in on RTX, ITA, and AVAV. LETS GO MADURO!!

2nd scoop today: China tells tech giants to stop buying all of Nvidia’s AI chips - CAC summoned tech firms this week to ban RTX Pro 6000D - Several cos who earlier put in orders told suppliers to terminate - NV China rev will go to ~0 if no new update
$NVIDA NEWS FROM IMAKEBADINVESTMENTS 2nd scoop today: China tells tech giants to stop buying all of Nvidia’s AI chips - CAC summoned tech firms this week to ban RTX Pro 6000D - Several cos who earlier put in orders told suppliers to terminate - NV China rev will go to ~0 if no new update
Did you read the news or just the headlines? RTX6000D is fully export compliant. 5090 is only grey market, export restrictions. China want h20 and b30, export lic for h20 got delayed by us gov backlog. RTX6000D demand down as buyers want h20.
Therefore, RTX6000D (weaker than RTX 5090) from NVDA is a flop then. Where should we see NVDA based on this $100 or $150.... Omg... I will never put my life savings on NVDA again...😭😭😭😭😭

I just know AAPL is going to cause wars from all the mistranslations their AirPods are going to cause. Anyways, calls on RTX and LMT.
Is this a sign to buy GD, LMT, NOC, RTX, LDOS & SAIC?
You say you try to not invest in anything military related. On the other hand, when RTX tanked a while ago down to around ~$70 a share, I loaded up. Why? Because I felt their issues were short term and they would surely bounce back with all the contracts they have. I made double what I put into that one. I could have not invested based on ethics. Would that have changed anything? Yeah, I wouldn't have made a bunch of easy money. RTX doesn't give a shit if I invest or not, they would've bounced back either way. Anyway, the point is that a company will succeed or fail on their own regardless of whether you personally invest or not so your ethics in the grand scheme of the world don't matter. If you want to miss some opportunities because of them, well that's on you.
Sold a bunch of my long positions today, took profits on boring stocks ive held for years, XOM/NFLX/RTX/etc......gonna sit cash for a few months while playing the very short/weekly game with small options positions until after the holidays i think....something is happening soon....either market madness or complete euphoria and im SOOOO not sure which direction itll go, I know ill choose wrong
NVDA Blackwell RTX coming to Geforce NOW before Gamescon 2025
Okay so, hear me out, RTX just signs a deal with poland as their first international expansion in aerospace the same day the polish president is in the White House? Is this the next intel stock?? Coincidence??
LOL, true that. Sorry, old build was 1080 TI. It's a RTX 4070, with a custom waterblock and loop, with custom driver level OC profile.
If you watch many physics videos about quantum computing, the issue isn't the number of qubits or accuracy, but data processing limitations. Quantum processors are only useful for computing a very niche subset of math problems. Yes they will be useful but to very few companies and use cases. Meaning the potential revenue will be very low. The business model will not be the same as selling a million GPUs at $600-60,000 (RTX 50s, GB200, etc). Watch the videos on YouTube and always be educated before investing long term.
Lockheed (LMT) are a subcontractor for NASA's Artemis program. I believe Northrop (NOC) are too. Raytheon (RTX) are a big supplier of satellites to the DoD and intelligence agencies. Amazon are making a Starlink clone with project Kuiper. SAIC supposedly have wreckage from Roswell but good luck speculating off of that considering it has been covered up for 80 years.
RTX calls for golden dome announcement?
# The likely contenders: Defense and Aerospace Giants: Lockheed Martin, RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies), Northrop Grumman, Leidos Tech and IT Integrators: General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), Accenture or Booz Allen Hamilton, Traditional Aerospace Manufacturers: Boeing, Airbus The New Players (eVTOL & Drones) This is where it gets interesting. The FAA's announcement explicitly mentions the need to handle future technologies like "flying taxis." While the new eVTOL companies (like Joby Aviation, Archer Aviation, and Lilium) and drone companies (like Zipline or Wing) won't be the "Prime Integrator," they will enter not as the main contractor, but as subcontractors. The primary integrator will need their specialized expertise to handle two key areas: UAS Traffic Management (UTM) and new domain expertise. They have developed the specific technology and systems needed to manage the complex, high-density traffic of drones and eVTOLs and understand how to integrate thousands of small, autonomous vehicles into an airspace system that was originally designed for a limited number of large aircraft.
