Chipmaker Nvidia is the world s fourth largest stock and Wall Street s third after Microsoft ($3 trillion) and Apple ($2.8 trillion). Saudi Aramco is worth about $2 trillion. Nvidia soared more than 16% overnight and added $277 billion to its m-cap in just one day. In dollar terms, Reliance Industries is just about $243 billion.
The mark-to-market losses are another blow for contrarians who argued that Nvidias sky-high valuations and speculative fever had all the makings of a market bubble about to pop. The chipmaker is the third-largest US short with $18.3 billion of shares that have been borrowed and sold, according to S3.
