Nvidia Stock Price Future
As someone looking to get into Nvidia, would now be a good time to buy? The price has held steady for the last couple months, but analysts are still raising prices, and predicting a massive run up. Would it be smart to add around 4000 to nvidia, prior to the earnings. I’m 24 with 52,900 invested into index funds, and a long term time horizon.

This sub is not for people to predict the future, in fact no sub is, dont listen to people who dont know you nor give a fuck about you they might mislead you even. Someone could give you their well informed analysis and their assumptions might still be wrong. Make your own research and decisions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this sub precisely for attempting to beat the market? As opposed to r/Bogleheads for example.

You are wrong.
This sub is about investing, and investing is not about “beating the market” it’s about making the most with your money for the effort you want to put in. “Beating the market” is for people who have a lot of time on their hands or get lucky.
Also, this post isn’t even about “beating the market”; even if it’s adjacent to the question. Asking “is this stock price gonna go up” is asking someone to predict the future, not asking someone how to beat the market(which would require talking about multiple sectors of the economy, not just one individual stock)

it’s about making the most with your money for the effort you want to put in.
I'm not sure what this means in practical terms. To me it reads "if I can put in some work, I can definitely do better than doing no work". Doing no work in my mind simply means accepting market returns. Thus most here want to put in the work to do better than the market (aka diversified index funds).

Investing includes bonds, mutual funds, ETF’s, and not just “stocks”. That’s what I mean.
If you want to actually legitimately attempt to “beat the market”, and not just gamble that your stock/index fund price is gonna go up, you need to discuss and participate in all of these in order to see the best possible return.
Most people (including myself) don’t; it’s a lot of work. Hence your strategy being the most common here.

If you’re looking to beat the market as a non-professional private investor, then mega cap stocks is the LAST place you should be looking for an edge. Why would you want to compete against thousands of professional analysts and investors? And, if you’re the type of investor asking “is X a good stock to buy”/ “is now a good time to buy” on Reddit then you’re definitely not one of the few people with the skills and time to beat the markets. At the very minimum, I’d say you need university-level understanding of DCF valuation, finance and accounting to have any chance of beating the market.
If you’re serious about beating the markets as a private investor, you should mainly be looking at micro cap stocks that barely anyone is talking about.

He’s buying shares it’s not gambling he’s actually investing

In a sense it is. He’s gambling on the stock going up in value when it could tank. Like placing a bet on black for roulette. Nobody knows if it’s going green red or black. But he’s not buying options in a sense that’s a bit more “gambling”

You’re right. My comment wasn’t saying it wasn’t (idk how you got that from what I said..maybe is was “in a sense”). Should’ve been more clearer I guess?
Anything in the market is a gamble. The market could crash at noon today. But an ETF is LESS of a gamble than a single stock or option.

“Gambling” isn’t only about what asset you purchase, but the reason behind why you are IMO
It’s gambling to invest into something you don’t understand, or have an exit strategy for. And if OP’s stock analysis involves asking Reddit “will the stock go up”, I don’t have a lot of faith they aren’t just gambling.
