What did The Pomp Podcast say about Nvidia?

Nvidia came up on several recent episodes, usually as the measuring stick for the AI trade. Quotes below are from the episodes, with timestamps.

On the October 24, 2026 episode, "Will Bitcoin Survive Quantum Computing? | Jordi Visser", Jordi Visser explained why he thinks Nvidia's valuation multiple has been falling:

❝

"The reason that Nvidia to me is seeing its multiple go down is because it will eventually be disrupted in some way."

Jordi Visser, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 24, 2026, 47:37

He still owns it. Asked about his biggest positions, he said:

❝

"My biggest long, as of right now, is Eli Lilly. Then we've got Nvidia, then we've got Marvell."

Jordi Visser, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 24, 2026, 47:56

He added that chipmakers rise and fall with spending cycles, unlike health care. See why Jordi thinks Eli Lilly will be the biggest U.S. company.

❝

"NVIDIA is still a cyclical company, Micron is still a cyclical company."

Jordi Visser, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 24, 2026, 49:22

On October 17, Jordi pointed out that Nvidia supplies the GPUs to the neoclouds and is "heavily involved with CoreWeave." And on October 20, Moez Kassam described why the web of deals between chipmakers and data centers makes him cautious:

❝

"You have Nvidia and you have the data centers and you have the chips and the everything is one big, you know, circle right now"

Moez Kassam, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 20, 2026, 17:22
