Dan Nathan on fast money said this on Monday on cnbc... Makes some very valid points...
If anyone didn't catch the show he had some very strong points on why it's a sell and I have to say I agree. ...

Gupta's main thesis is straightforward. Competition for generative Al hardware is catching up, end-user deployments don't need much power once the database is built, there's a shakeout due soon, and Nvidia's estimated 98 per cent market share of data-centre GPUs probably won't last:
Al chip demand will eventually normalize once the initial training build has been completed. The inference phase of Al is going to require less computing power than the training phase. High-powered PCs and phones could be capable enough to run inferences locally, reducing the need for growing GPU plants. [...] We think the cost of building Large Language Models (LLMs) and limited monetization opportunities could eventually force the exit of smaller (but still meaningful) customers of Nvidia from the Al market, helping to ease GPU supply constraints.
Revenue growth for big tech is expected to slow this year, while the likes of Meta and Amazon are working on their own chips. That's had because just five customers provided 46 per cent of Nvidia's revenue last quarter, with Microsoft and Meta alone accounting for 28 per cent of the total
