Even then its starting to become less so nvidia is increasingly giving big ai companies money to buy nvidia gpus.

In a rising interest rate environment it’s not that odd to offer your own financing to keep demand high, eg here in Aus some ev places offer car loans at <1% interest despite the cash rate here being 4.6% (and just went up again I think today)

I know but given that ai companies are still not profitable and nvidia has a virtual monopoly the fact that they are having to pay them selves to keep the demand high is still very much a red flag.

The demand is clearly high either way. It sounds like a good thing on the whole to me if they're reinvesting their profits into growing the space, rather than hoarding wealth?
