WHAT IS HAPPENING IN FINANCE? – What else, but NVIDIA!

Thursday, February 27th, 2025

This is a stock we have followed for quite a long time and it has been amazing the way it moves.

Lately, it has run into problems. Not with the company – nor with its results which are nothing short of spectacular, but clearly someones want to see this stock stall, drop, disappear or better still, run into serious problems.

After coming out with what only can be called spectacular results for this last quarter the stock price barely moved. Same thing happened the quarter before this. Most companies with such results would have doubled within a day or so – NVIDIA went down.

You know we could not let this pass without doing some investigating.

We noticed some time ago an advertisement, which could only be called anti-NVIDIA. A man comes on, gives his credentials and warns you against buying NVIDIA stock. Then there runs in the background lists of ‘billionaires’ who are selling all of their NVIDIA stock because, according to this guy, it is going to tank. The names and other particulars of these ‘billionaires’ who are getting rid of all of their NVIDIA stock runs in the background the way credits at the end of a movie giving credit to those who created the movie would see their information running. That advertisement has been running on the business channels for quite some time. The man narrating it gives a very substantial background and seriously tells you to sell your NVIDIA stock or not to buy it in the first place because all of these very important and wealthy investors have dumped NVIDIA.

That advertisement has been running for quite awhile and is clearly geared to the everyday people who buy and sell stock especially who are buying NVIDIA. It is your warning to stay away.

One reason we like NVIDIA, besides all of the financial reasons pointing to it as a great investment is the way Jensen Huang handled the advent of DeepSeek.

When DeepSeek came along NVIDIA stock dropped like a huge rock thrown into water, as did many other stocks and the market in general. The good news is the way Jensen Huang responded. Today, there is an article out, with NVIDIA’s results and comments from Huang amongst which is the announcement that he has paired up with DeepSeek and they are going to do business together. What a great response.

The normal response for such a happening would be to begin a campaign to destroy or seriously injure NVIDIA. We have a president who sets an example on how to handle such – lie about the company, crap all over its top executives, etc. etc., do whatever underhanded and public thing you can think of to destroy the company and those who work there.

NVIDIA’s results for this quarter are nothing short of fantastic. They say to me this company has a continuing fantastic present and future.

An Amazing Sunday morning – Riverside Church in New York City

Tuesday, February 11th, 2025

by: Marceline Donaldson

Many years ago when I was in college at New York University I lived on Riverside Drive and walked to church at Riverside Church on Sunday mornings. It was an amazing experience.

In those days Riverside Church was mostly all white. The minister when I was there was Harry Emerson Fosdick. Riverside Church was interdenominational and quite an experience for me. It was at Riverside Church that a very strong call was made for reparations to African Americans for all that they experienced in these United States including slavery. James Forman, executive director of SNCC took over the pulpit at Riverside on May 4, 1969 and read the document created in Detroit Michigan for the National Black Economic Development Conference. The document came to be known as the Black Manifesto and was written because racist white America had exploited and still, to this day, is exploiting the resources, minds, bodies, labor of blacks who helped to build this most industrial country in the world.

Formans demand was that white churches and synagogues pay reparations for Black enslavement and continuing discrimination and oppression. It had been written by Forman and delivered by him commandeering the pulpit of Riverside Church disrupting the regular service. The Black Manifesto was first presented at a conference funded in part by the Episcopal Church and the National Counsil of Churches amongst others hoping to bring Black leaders together to discuss how to socially and economically implement Black Power. If ever there was a time to go back into history it is today as Donald Trump and Elon Musk try to bring about in these United States what even South Africa has rejected.

Given that history, through which I lived, Robert and I decided to go back to Riverside Church, knowing where it was we wanted to see where and what it is about today.

We are including for you a service from the church. Their services are recorded and you can access them; join the list of those who “go to church on the internet” on Sundays; or just to watch and listen to what has happened since the very emotional events involving Riverside Church in the 1960’s.

It is a very moving service. As you can see the church is no longer mostly White. Today, it has a black female pastor and is inclusive of many cultures and different kinds of people with a commitment which is very strong. It is a place where one could raise children in the Christian faith and they would be quite happy to be there – not many churches today can say that.

We would appreciate your feed back.

Please ignore our lack of media experience. We somehow put up two film of the same service and don’t know how to take down one leaving the other for your use.
