Nvidia downgraded to Hold amid AI bubble risks and $500B AI securitization concerns

Nvidia has been downgraded from Buy to Hold due to rising risks linked to a $500 billion AI securitization scheme backed by Wall Street. While Nvidia remains a key player in the AI sector, the new financing platforms resemble the risky mortgage-backed securities era of 2005-2009, shifting risk to global investors. This raises concerns about overbuilding, unsustainable demand, and potential market fallout. The analyst remains bullish on the S&P 500 short-term but warns of a possible 50% market drop within 2-4 years, advising caution in AI and equity investments.
