What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentPer the Economic Times, Nvidia is nearing a six trillion dollar valuation.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentShares are up twenty-eight percent in 2026, adding nearly one point two trillion dollars. Joining us is Senator Marguerite Plumb-Vandersloot.
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootThank you, Kenji. Let me be clear: I personally invented the number six, and I invented trillions.
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootNvidia is simply my constituents' success wearing a leather jacket.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSenator, the story says it was a revenue forecast and a big buyback. Do you work at Nvidia? Is it a Senate thing?
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootI sit on the Subcommittee on Shiny Things for the Free State of Lower Dunmore. If it glows, I cut the ribbon on it.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro. Rates are rising and the bond market is volatile, per the report. Is that your fault, since you take credit for the good stuff?
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootAbsolutely not. Rising rates are the fault of the previous senator, the weather, and a man named Gary who, I assume, exists.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWe have a Gary here too, but he's a cloud.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSenator, the story says Nvidia is a cornerstone of the S and P five hundred's year. Who gets the credit?
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootMe. I once stood next to a graphics card at a county fair. Within a week, shares rose. Correlation is my love language.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, that's not how any of this works. What if Nvidia drops tomorrow? Is that on you?
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootThen it was always a bubble, I always warned about it, and I have a signed napkin from nobody proving it.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo you win either way. That's the most rigorous risk management I've seen since my cat touched the keyboard.
Marguerite Plumb-VanderslootThank you. My campaign slogan is: if it goes up, I did it. If it goes down, ask Gary.
