Imagine "Mark Baum" played by Steve Carell on stage arguing: "Nvidia is a great stock. A great company. But greedy retail investors took that stock and ran away with it. The company has lots of space to grow it´s earnings. Their stock price has not. There´s not enough money in the world for it to continue growing at this pace. 6 trillion on the sideline?

And then the camera cuts over to "Michael Scott" coincidentally also played by Steve Carell. And he says: "So what if the economy runs out of money? They just do a stock split and then they will need half that much money to have it rise even harder. They´ll turn on the printer. I worked at a paper company. Forget AI. Calls on paper."
