After doing so, you will realise that $4trillion is just an expression of hope in the company's future.

Everyone investing in passive global indexes (including me) will have around 5% of their money in Nvidia. No one wants to worry about the reality of value whilst they are making paper profits.
Every £1 I put in tomorrow, I will be buying 5p of Nvidia, I don't get a say.

What could possibly go wrong 😁

If you invest at market cap weightings then you will get market cap proportions. Anything else and you're saying you know better than the rest of the investing consensus, which is of course fine, but that's a deliberate tilt if so. There are some value factor indexes that you might prefer, or small cap.

I doubt most people heavily invested in NVIDIA know, or even think, about the stock’s inherent value.  They just want to get on the bandwagon. 

The market cap is not real wealth. One share, if sold, may be worth $$. That does not mean that billions of shares, if sold, are worth billions of $$.

I do, I have a lot of value based funds, small cap etc etc as well as some market cap based ones, you have be diversified I believe. I don't know the proportion of the investing consensus that are just sheep that are told to put their money into passive market cap index trackers so should I worry that I think I know more than them, who knows. I'm always told not to rely on past performance as a guide to future performance but at the same time I'm also told to rely on the past performance of equity markets as the place for best returns over a long period.
