Just last month, one of those Fools, All-Star echofarmer, tapped NVIDIA as a possible value opportunity:
Mainly, to me, the difficulty is assessing the wild swings in the top line. But there is much to like here. In fact, [NVIDIA] may represent something of a value here. The P/E is relatively low, and the company has had good cash flow throughout all of the ups and downs (mostly downs) over the past few years. Very clean balance sheet with a solid cash position. I'm going to leave this one in the portfolio... for now.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, NVIDIA may not be your top choice.
