Interesting, didn't realize the connection between NVIDIA and bitcoin...

that gaming cards were used for data mining. Since I don't trust bitcoin - ie, you can talk all the math you want, but it still depends on some person accepting bitcoins from you for their product - I would have run away from NVIDIA knowing that. (If there are 60 zillion people out there data mining, how many undiscovered bitcoins are left?)

So, um, maybe that's now incorporated in the price, from what I'm reading NVIDIA is a good company and as long as you think long term this would be a good candidate for your portfolio?

As always, anyone who takes stock advice from me - except for GE - is an idiot, if you lose money that's your fault.
