NVDA is perhaps the hottest semiconductor stock this decade. From the ashes of the 2008 crash, the stock has risen an impressive 3000% and perhaps more. Who would have thought that a stock that is only trading at a mere $6.00 after the financial crisis is now trading at $212 in less than 10 years.
This fantastic rise surprises many people. Some may have even condemned this stock when it was trading at $10.00. How could this stock have risen so much without us realizing it?
While there are many fundamental reasons, one thing is certain: The stock price is trending up and shooting to the roof.
To check out the fundamentals of a stock, I usually head over to investing.com's fundamental page. You can go to NVDA's financial ratio page by clicking on the link.
The Return on Equity (Trailing Twelve Months) is 44.23% and that is mighty impressive. Return on equity (5 Years Average) is also very good at 16.92%. The Earnings per share (Trailing Twelve Months) compared to a year ago is also very impressive at 105.68%.
5 Year Earnings per share growth stands at 22.18% and 5 year sales growth is at 11.57%. Well, at least earnings per share and sales are growing.
All these financial ratios are very good and show that the company is stable and growing. That is just part of the equation to a successful stock. Because the stock market is forward looking, the story of the company and the anticipated future earnings also play a big role in determining the share price.
As a trader, I still believe the best way to figure this out is to look at NVDA's trend.
Right here in Dstockmarket.com, I am a big believer in trend following. Ever heard about the maxim "The Trend Is Your Friend"? This Wall Street wisdom is truer than any maxim about investing or trading that you will ever read.
The concepts of trends is very closely related to the concepts of the 4 stock market stages. You see my friends, a stock will always go through the 4 stock market stages.
You will make the most money in stocks by buying stocks that are in a Stage 2 uptrend.
To learn more about market stages, read The 4 Stages That Every Stock And Market Goes Through.
After reading the article, you will be able to understand why NVDA went up so much. Well, spoiler alert : NVDA went up so much because it was in a Stage 2 uptrend. It followed the trend and continue to make higher highs and higher lows.
The chart above is the monthly chart of NVDA. If we take a look at the long term charts, it is easy to see that Nvidia had come along way since the 2008 crash. The stock had a big rise from 2006 to 2007 and in 2008, it suffered a big crash. The low it made in 2008 was $5.75.
From a low of $5.75 in 2008, the stock has risen to $212.99 in November 2017. That is an impressive return. If you were to put $500,000 into the stock, it would turn into $18.5 Million USD. Well, that is in hindsight and not many people will have the courage and insight to invest such a heavy amount into the stock.
Throughout 2008 to 2014, the stock actually had many wide swings up and down. Despite the volatility, an observant chartist would be able to see that the stock was making a very large monthly symmetrical triangle pattern.
This chart pattern starts with a very wide and volatile move and as it progresses, the movement of the stock starts to converge. You can actually draw two trendlines connecting the highs and the lows of the entire pattern. As the stock reaches the tip of the triangle it will break out.
From 2014 to mid 2015, the stock drifted higher slowly.
The impressive move came in mid 2015 to 2017 where the stock exploded higher non stop. From 2014 onwards, NVDA was already in an uptrend. And the maxim "The Trend Is Your Friend" is very true with NVDA. The stock followed the uptrend and continued to move higher.
Prior to 2014, the stock had already shown signs of bottoming. When a stock starts to make higher lows, it tells us that the stock has bottomed.
One of the ways that traders and investors can determine if the stock is in a nice uptrend is to check the moving averages. I usually like to use 3 moving averages. They are the 20 MA, 50 MA and 200 MA.
If you take a look at the monthly chart of NVDA above, you will notice that in 2015, the stock's price was above all 3 rising moving averages. They form a very smooth rise with the 20 MA (red line) above the 50 MA (blue line) and the 50 MA above the rising 200 MA (yellow).
This is a picture of a strong trend and when you see a stock above all its 3 monthly 20 MA, 50 MA and 200 MA, you should be very bullish and follow the trend.
The chart above is the weekly chart of NVDA. The stock is moving upwards from the lower left to the upper right. It is trending higher. Which is why we should continue to be bullish on NVDA.
If you look at the weekly moving averages, you will notice that the stock is above its rising weekly 20 MA, 50 MA and 200 MA. This is a picture of strength. When all 3 moving averages are rising nicely, it shows us that the long term trend for NVDA is up. Which is why we should continue to be bullish on NVDA.
Investors should look for opportunities to add to NVDA. They can buy the dips or buy the break outs. Traders should look for trading opportunities to the long side.
While the concept of trend following is simple, it is extremely powerful. From now on, find stocks that are in a long term uptrend. Perhaps you should make it a rule to only invest or trade stocks that are in a long term uptrend. When you invest and trade with the trend, your odds of success will be higher. You may even find the next NVDA!

How many of us consciously or unconsciously give deference to the more influential members of our congregations? While showing favoritism to those with power or money was normal for the false teachers in Jude's day, we do not have to commit this same error.
Two thousand years ago, Jude, the brother of the Lord Jesus Christ, sat down with the intent of writing about the salvation he held in common with his congregation. However, false teachers had crept in and had begun exercising undue influence upon Jude's audience. So, he changed his plans. Because of the danger of these evil men, Jude instead wrote a letter exhorting his audience to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints (vv. 3–4).
Although this was not Jude's original purpose, we cannot and should not separate the exhortations of his short epistle from the instructions regarding "our common salvation." In condemning the errors of his opponents, Jude implicitly commands us to do and teach the opposite. If we practice and preach the opposite of the errors of these godless men, we practice and preach the truth of the Gospel.
Instead of perverting the grace of God into sensuality, we must never sin that grace may abound; instead, we must teach the brethren to live in holiness (Jude 5–7; Rom. 6). Rather than relying on our own dreams and "visions," we must submit to the words of the prophets and apostles (Jude 8–13; 2 Peter 1:16–21). Instead of living as if judgment is not coming, we must remember all who willfully teach anti-Christian falsehood will be condemned (Jude 14–15).
In today's passage, Jude refers to some of the other doctrines practiced and preached by the false teachers, which doctrines we must still oppose today. We have already spoken of the "sinful desires" evident in the wanton immorality of these teachers. But Jude also speaks of these men as being "grumblers" and "malcontents," referring not to their disparaging of church authority (though they did this) but to their antinomian denial of God's law. The sin of loud-mouthed boasting is similar; these teachers spoke arrogantly about God, just as their lifestyles revealed their lack of true faith.
"Showing favoritism to gain advantage" is likely a reference to their greed. These teachers probably exploited the poor or favored the rich in order to gain influence. Such favoritism is blatantly anti-Christian (James 2:1–13), and thus Jude condemns it.
While showing favoritism to those with power or money was normal for the false teachers Jude opposed, we do not have to be false teachers to commit this same error. How many of us consciously or unconsciously give deference to the more influential members of our congregations? How many of us neglect giving of our time and money to assist the needy? Find a local ministry that serves the poor in your community and donate some of your time and money to it.

The 2012 Israeli Basketball League Cup was the 7th edition of the Israeli Basketball League Cup pre-season tournament. It plays between October 2 and October 6 mainly at Romema Arena in Haifa, as Kiryat Ata Hall hosted two quarterfinals games.

Teams Participating
As the format states, the top eight teams on the 2011–12 Israeli Super League should have competed in the tournament. However, two changes were made. One was caused by the owner of Habik'a, who finished in 8th place, moving his license To Eilat to form Hapoel Eilat. The second change was made as the hosts Maccabi Haifa replaced Ironi Ashkelon who finished at the 6th place last season.

When we first moved here, the one familiar place was the grocery store nearest my house. It had the exact same layout as the one in the town where we moved here from. It was reassuring to have that known spot when everything else was turned upside down. I could rely on shopping relatively stress free and was able to get the chore done. Frankly, groceries just aren't what I like to shop for. In all these years, I haven't changed that much. I tend to do things in the same way with the same patterns, and I generally like routines. Today, I walked in to my same old grocery store and found it in turmoil. Remodeling and updating the whole enchilada. They are obviously keeping up with the Jones' down the street with the new upscale grocery store. I just have one thought on that concept: if I wanted a tour of world foods, I'd shop there. It could be fun. Kind of. In a off-beat sort of way. About once a year. But for a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread, I don't want to feel like a rat in a maze. I don't need five choices of eggs or find myself questioning the subtle differences between crumpets and the usual English muffins. I just want to get a few items in a timely fashion.
Now, if others are like me, 7-Elevens are due to make a comeback. I might risk a bullet for an opportunity to go back to the simple life. I might even get a Big Gulp while I shop.
I'm not a fan of the grocery store.
I will go get what I want or need and thats it….nothing more.
Fancy foods scare me to death.
I know what you mean! The "grocery" stores here keep getting bigger and bigger in order to carry stuff that has nothing to do with groceries and it takes forever to get through the store and find a loaf of bread and get out. And all those big stores have pretty much run all the little normal grocery stores out of town.
They're rearranging our grocery too. It is so confusing because I'm such a creature of habit that I automatically walk to the aisle I know what I want is on and it isn't there! I want my groceries back in order!!!


There's a stereotype of a young, zealous Christian who feels called to the ministry as a pastor, goes to seminary, and then loses his faith as he studies the writings of all those intellectuals and theologians. The stereotype may not be accurate, but there are those who fit this description, not to mention many who leave home for college as passionate Christians and come home unbelievers. More importantly, that stereotype represents a fear-the fear that too much education or contact with those whose beliefs differ from those of a particular community will cause someone to lose their faith. But there's another group, much larger, but not heard nearly as frequently. This group consists of people who have gone from the position of fear that creates the stereotype to a position of faith, a faith that is no longer afraid of that outer darkness that looms outside the walls of their religious community. Indeed, they may not perceive any looming darkness at all. From Fear to Faith, edited by Travis Milam and Joel L. Watts, gives voice to that too often unheard group. It is a collection of essays from those who have lived in fear, have faced the looming dark, collided with their share of brick walls, but have come out with a new-found faith and undismayed trust. The journeys of faith presented in this book reveal a group deeply insightful and grounded minds, rich in thriving spirituality, joy, and hope. Where there was once trepidation in asking the tough questions of human existence, of the divine relationship with creation, there is now a certain hope found when these authors have struggled to overcome canyons of fear, leaving behind a life of black and white certitude, to live in a beautiful world of gray. They have learned that having questions and even doubts does not reflect a lack of faith. Rather, hiding in fear from the serious questions indicates a lack of faith in the one who said, "Don't be afraid." Come join in this journey from fear to faith.

Ron Arad: Yes to the Uncommon!
Nothing about the body of work created by Ron Arad in the 80s, 90s, and 2000's was common, marginal, conventional, or expected. It was all experimental, irregular, daring, and uncommon. Now, a new solo exhibition 'Ron Arad: Yes to the Uncommon!' curated by Heng Zhi at the Vitra Museum in Weil am Rhein, comes to explore the career of the London-based Israeli designer/architect. Rooted in the Punk Age which swapped London in the 80s, his early work responded to the spirit of the time. Chairs of old car seats, record players of concrete, and bookshelf in the shape of worms, all objects as provocative as Punk Movement itself, and pioneered what was the known at the time as the Design Art Movement. Now, at the Vitra Schaudepot, the warehouse designed by Herzog & de Meuron, Arad's work is displayed on platforms surrounded by the Vitra's collection by some of his heroes, Marcel Breuer, Gerald Summers, Alvar Aalto, Jean Prouvé, Achille Castiglioni. The exhibition begins with his early work, created under the brand One Off, which he established in the late 70s, and which was coined to describe a new type of furniture, his canon. Raw, crafted, wild, and sensual. Later, he began working for the industry, creating furniture for Kartell, Moroso, Magis, still conscious of forms, materials, and sensuality. Along with exploring Arad's career, the exhibition comes to summarize the decades-long relationship between him and Vitra, which dates back to the 70s with many projects, furniture, and experiments. And if you like to see these pieces on the marketplace, Friedman Benda has opened a show Ron Arad: Fishes & Crows, 1985-94.

Conquer the internet with a Google AdWords campaign. If you don't know something, you Google it. Out of all the search engines available on the internet, Google is the only one that has managed to become such a big household name. Gen Z can't remember a time before Google and nowadays even grannies are using it instead of grabbing the encyclopedia.
As a company you can't afford not to have a strong online presence. But the challenge is, how do you stand out in the ocean of information? People rarely click through to the second search results page. In fact, they will most likely click on one of the top five pages that appear from a search.
One way of beating your competitors, is to activate a Google AdWords campaign. Most ads work on a pay-per-click (PPC) basis, meaning you only pay when someone actively clicks through to your website. By using this Google service, you ensure that your website appears on the first page of search results. Depending on what kind of campaign you activate, you can even land right at the top.
Google AdWords are used by a variety of companies – from big enterprises to start-ups, and everything in between. You might feel skeptical about activating a Google AdWords campaign, but if you want to harness the power of Google, it's definitely worth it to consider the service. Here's a few reasons to convince you.
Once you've activated the Google AdWords campaign, it will be live within a few minutes. You could start seeing results on the same day! Waiting for organic traffic to reach your website from other marketing methods, such as SEO enhanced content, could take months.
If you combine good SEO enhanced content with a strategic Google AdWords campaign, the sky is the limit! You can zoom in on exactly the type of potential customer you want to reach on the internet. Instead of your advertising campaign being a shot in the dark, hoping for the best, you can now plan your advertising budget and reach people effectively.
Google Analytics is basically the brains behind the scenes. The Google search results might seem randomly generated, but there is a complex system behind the selections. After your first Google AdWords campaign, you can view the results and from there tweak each new campaign thereafter to ensure that your budget is generating the best leads.
With a Google AdWords campaign, you are in control. When you notice that there are no viable results from a certain campaign, you can instantly cancel it. Or you can pause it if you want to move your budget to another advertising method.
Everyone wants a piece of the online action. But with a well-planned Google AdWords campaign, you can ensure that potential customers find you before they click on your competitor's website. If you are willing to push in a bit more money into your campaign, you can inch ahead.
Visit https://adwords.google.com to get started. You can have a campaign set up and ready to go within less than an hour. Click on the "start now" button.
There are a few different options, one of the most popular ones is the "Search Network only". Create a unique name for the campaign so you can track the progress later. To start off, remove the tick "include search partners". You can use this option later if needed.
This is one of the best features of a Google AdWords campaign, you can target an exact group of people who will benefit from your product or service. The options include countries, regions, states or provinces and cities. Or select a custom-designated geographical area. A handy feature, you can specify the miles or kilometers around an address. Use the "let me choose" option to specify the area you want to target.
Another great aspect of a Google AdWords campaign, is that you can determine how much you want to spend. Use the "I'll manually set my bids for clicks" option for more control over your campaign. Otherwise, you can stick to one of the automatic options if you prefer.
The daily budget is the maximum amount that Google will charge you per day. This is linked to the amount of clicks per campaign. To begin with, rather set a low budget until you have a better feel for how the system works. Payment can be set to either manual or automatic. The manual option means you pay before your ads are shown. The automatic option is calculated after your ads are shown. In some instances businesses qualify for a Google credit line, with a monthly invoicing option.
Try to add your keyword or keyword phrase in the headline. Research shows that more people will click on a link if the headline includes the words they typed into the search. You are limited to 25 characters, so choose your words carefully.
The next two lines allow 35 characters each. The second and third lines are your meta description, the little blurb that will convince people to click on the link. Try to firstly describe a benefit of your product or service and next mention a great feature or add an offer.
But when the actual ad displays on the search results page, the URL will appear directly below the headline. Carefully type the URL, ensuring that it displays exactly the same as on your website.
It's best to start with just one set of keywords. Use plus + signs, brackets [ ] and quotes " ", to determine how many searches from each type you will get. Starting out, rather only select the main keywords most applicable to your company. You can flesh out the list once you start reviewing the analytics from your first Google AdWords campaign.
You can define the maximum amount you want to spend on your pay-per-click, called the "default bid". Keep in mind that each of the major keywords you specified will need a bid price of their own. You will be able to set up individual bid prices for each keyword later. The more popular a keyword or keyword phrase, the higher the bid price will be. Try to rather select a bigger amount of low-cost keywords to increase your reach.
Read through your ad copy again and decide whether it's the best match for the keywords you selected. Check the pay-per-click budget you set up. Double-check the daily budget you set up, making sure you calculate how much it will cost you per month.
Once you are satisfied with the information and ad details, continue to the payment details page. Now all you have to do, is wait for the Google AdWords campaign to make money for you.

Marketing, No One Will Know And No One Will Care.
Effective sales & marketing is bar-none the most important function of a business.
Think of it this way: A one-of-a-kind product that's being shipped from Chicago to NewYork is only as good as the truck that's carrying it. If the truck breaks down and never reaches its destination, it doesn't matter how great the product inside it is.
Well, your sales and marketing system is the truck that carries your product. No matter how good your product is, it doesn't matter if your marketing can't deliver it. Not only that, but sales is the only activity in a business that actually brings in the cash.
management…all crucial aspects of a business…but none of them are income producing activities.
The revenue brought in from sales is what makes it all possible. It's the driving force behind everything. And that's why you need to be more concerned about the sales strategies you're using than anything else.
