NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA): Among Billionaire Ken Fisher's Top Growth Stock Picks
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against other billionaire Ken Fisher's top growth stock picks.
'Who am I to tell you anything, much less anything that counts? Or that there are only three questions that count and I know what they are? Why should you bother reading any of this? Why listen to me at all?'
This is the opening paragraph in one of Kenneth Lawrence Fisher's books, 'The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by Knowing What Others Don't.' Fisher has over ten books to his name, but that is not why investors pay attention to what he has to say whenever he says it. Known to many as Ken Fisher, the 74-year-old is ranked at position 212 in the latest Forbes Billionaires list (as of March 11, 2025). This is thanks to the $11.2 billion of wealth he has amassed through Fisher Investments, a firm that has more than $270 billion in assets under management.
Fisher has a lot to say about the market, and he is an active commentator on current events. As you'd expect, he had something to say about Trump's tariffs. On Tuesday, March 11, 2025, President Trump doubled down on tariff talks, threatening to double the planned tariff on Canada-imported aluminum and steel to 50%. He said the levies would be effected in 24 hours and that if Canada doesn't play ball, he 'would set tariffs on cars from Canada so high that they would permanently shut down the Canadian car industry,' the New York Times reported.

President Trump has given four reasons for the tiff with Canada. On raising tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel, the president argued that the move is a response to Ontario bumping up prices on the electricity exported to the United States. He has also mentioned concerns about fentanyl trafficking, high levies on dairy imports, and that the tariffs are the current administration's 'broader strategy to use economic leverage to address national security concerns and promote domestic manufacturing.'
Fisher agrees with President Trump but only as far as the tariffs are negotiating tools. In a recent video posted on YouTube, he explains that tariffs are rarely fully enforced and argues that the actual impact of tariffs is often much smaller than people fear. The levies might be set at, say, 10-15%, but the real cost impact on goods is usually around 1.5%. He also emphasizes that markets often overreact to tariff announcements, causing unnecessary fear and volatility.
In other words, Fisher's mind is clear that the current selloff in the US stock market is an overreaction that will settle. It is impossible to argue with a person whose stock picks have generated so much value in so many years. Fisher Asset Management, the investment vehicle of Fisher Investments, currently has 975 holdings, with a calculated portfolio value of $251 billion. This value has increased drastically over the past 10 years, with a slight dent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We combed Fisher Asset Management's Q4 2024 13F filings to identify the top growth stocks in which the firm is invested in. From the resultant data, we settled on the top 13 growth stock picks and analyzed them to determine why they stand out as growth picks. Finally, we ranked the stocks in ascending order based on the value of Fisher Asset Management equity stakes while also detailing hedge fund sentiment around each stock.
Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter's strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points ().

The Wiretap: Facial Recognition, Amazon Ring, And Surveillance Of The LA Protests
The Wiretap is your weekly digest of cybersecurity, internet privacy and surveillance news. To get it in your inbox, subscribe here. The protests in LA are being captured by all manner of surveillance devices. But federal and local police have different restrictions on what they can do with the footage (Photo by) 'I have all of you on camera. I'm going to come to your house.' Those were the words coming from an LAPD officer in a helicopter over LA protestors, according to the LA Times. The implicit threat, according to some privacy advocates, was that the cops would use facial recognition software to identify and locate those protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. It's not quite so easy to do that, though. A source close to the agency, who was not authorized to talk on record, told Forbes that LAPD will be going through camera footage - whether shot from a helicopter, surveillance cams or bodycams - and try to identify people. However, the LAPD can only search for matches from police-owned arrest records, namely, mugshots. Its own rules don't allow it to search for matches across other sources, such as social media. Federal agents, however, don't have the same restrictions. Any federal agent using Clearview or an alternative can take the same footage and run facial images to find matches across photos scraped from social sites. One of Clearview's best-known federal customers is ICE, which typically uses it in child exploitation cases. It's unclear how often the agency uses it for immigration enforcement. Neither ICE nor the LAPD had responded to requests for comment at the time of publication. Law enforcement has another potential source for protest footage: video from Amazon Ring cameras or its competitors. Though Amazon has stopped cops requesting information directly over the Ring Neighbours social platform, federal and local cops can demand data recorded by those devices with a court order. The video could then be used to identify protestors. While the source close to LAPD said they weren't aware of any specific uses of Ring around this week's events, they said it's certainly a capability that exists. Meanwhile, concerned citizens have also been using Neighbors to share footage of ICE raids and agents in the L.A. area, either to warn about them or to celebrate the actions. In footage from Monday, identified by a Forbes' reporter, a Ring user shared footage they claimed showed ICE targeting laborers at a local Home Depot. Another warned about ICE agents at a mall and a Costco. Amazon Ring didn't comment on record, though a spokesperson pointed Forbes to guidelines that prohibit users posting on 'topics that cause inevitable frictions like politics and election information,' as well as 'highly debated social issues.' Its moderators might be busier than normal this week. Got a tip on surveillance or cybercrime? Get me on Signal at +1 929-512-7964. DOGE pre-Elon Musk's departure and break up with President Trump. (Photo by) The Supreme Court has given a green light to the Department of Government Efficiency to access Social Security Administration data. The decision came after the Trump administration had filed an emergency application to lift an injunction from a federal judge in Maryland. In its decision, the Supreme Court said DOGE staff needed the access to do their job. While the White House cheered the decision as a victory for fighting fraud and waste in federal agencies, opponents said the ruling 'will enable President Trump and DOGE's affiliates to steal Americans' private and personal data.' A cyber researcher found a way to identify phone numbers linked to any Google account. Google has since fixed the issue, which may have exposed users to SIM swapping scams. The DOJ has launched an offensive on the dark web marketplace BidenCash, where users buy and sell stolen credit card and personal information. The agency has taken down 145 domains across both the standard web and the darknet associated with the bazaar. The service has so far generated over $17 million in revenue, according to Justice officials. A man who controls much of the infrastructure that underpins Telegram also controls other companies with links to Russian intelligence agency FSB, according to an investigation by the Organized Crimes and Corruption Reporting Project's Russian partner, Important Stories. Telegram has not responded to the allegations. The Guardian has launched a new way to tip its reporters securely with an app simply called 'Secure Messaging.' It sounds pretty neat: 'The technology behind Secure Messaging conceals the fact that messaging is taking place at all by making the communication indistinguishable from other data sent to and from the app by our millions of regular users. By using the Guardian app, other users are effectively providing 'cover' and helping us to protect sources.' President Trump has been unsurprisingly careless with his personal iPhone, taking calls from numbers he doesn't recognize. That's despite repeatedly being warned about the heightened risks of foreign surveillance and interception that come with using a device with a 'broadly circulated number,' according to a report in The Atlantic.

Dimon says Trump tariffs may make 'the soft landing a little bit softer' instead of making the 'ship go down'
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon sounds a little more optimistic about the effect tariffs may have on the US economy over the next several months. 'Maybe in July, August, September, October, you'll start to see 'did it have an effect?'' Dimon said of tariffs while speaking Tuesday afternoon at a Morgan Stanley conference in New York. 'My guess is it did, hopefully not dramatic. May just make the soft landing a little bit softer as opposed to the ship go down." His guess is that the effect of tariffs will cause employment to 'come down, or come down a little bit,' while 'inflation will go up a little bit.' Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet Dimon wasn't the only big bank executive who offered his views Tuesday about how the tariff picture may play out in the near future. Clients of Citigroup's (C) global investment bank are looking at a 10% 'floor' on tariff levels and are currently evaluating a baseline of between 10% and 20%, Viswas Raghavan, Citigroup's head of banking, said while speaking earlier Tuesday at the same conference. 'Look, there is a lot of anxiety,' Raghavan said when referring to the impact of the looming tariffs on corporate boardrooms considering new deals. Citigroup expects its second quarter investment banking fees to be up in the 'mid-single digits' compared to the same period last year. In overall trading, revenue is expected to rise in the 'mid- to high-single digits' from the prior year, according to Raghavan. However, Raghavan did say that Citi expects its firmwide credit costs to rise by 'a few 100 million dollars' compared to the $2.7 billion it reported in the first quarter. Morgan Stanley (MS) CEO Ted Pick said the second quarter did start 'slow, really pausing in a big way,' after the Trump administration's early April 'Liberation Day' tariff announcements. But 'now it has picked up and I think we'll see how the last couple weeks go, but looks like it's going to finish strong.' In this current period, 'I do think investment banking, specifically, is a tale of two quarters.' Bankers also hailed a push by the Trump administration to reconsider some capital rules that require them to set aside certain buffers in the event of bad times. "We actually are relevant in not just powering the real economy, but to be helpful when there is a wobble ... And that's why I think it is opportune for a repositioning of some of the regulatory framework," Pick said Tuesday. Michelle Bowman, Federal Reserve vice chair for supervision, said in a speech last Friday that the central bank plans to host a conference next month meant to bring together bankers, academics, and other experts to examine whether the numerous capital requirements for large banks make sense. "I would like to be part of fixing the system and making it safer and helping the smaller banks," Dimon said.
