Wall Street is eyeing the highly anticipated release of Nvidia's (NVDA) fiscal third quarter earnings report after Wednesday's market close. Crescent Grove Advisors co-chief investment officer Andrew Krei tells Brad Smith on Wealth! that this report will be a "lens into the health of the AI trend," adding, "And I think the bar has been set incredibly high." Krei notes that the most important aspect of Nvidia's financial results will be for investors to see the trajectory for continued top-line growth and determine whether the semiconductor giant can support its valuation. "It's going to be critical, I think, to understand what that path forward looks like," he states. "People get so enthusiastic about the trajectory of these new technologies," Krei tells Yahoo Finance. Though he cautions: "From our perspective, we think we've gone maybe a little bit too far, and we're at least at risk of seeing some sort of reset from a valuation perspective."

For new money, Bloomfield highlights that wealth creators often invest in alternative assets like private equity, hedge funds, and real estate to grow their capital faster. The democratization of information via social media has fundamentally changed the way people make money today, he says.
