AI chipmaker Nvidia is set to release its latest quarterly report, and analysts expect to see earnings of $2.09 per share. That would be a stunning jump from the $0.92 per share posted last quarter. However, with the market under tremendous stress recently, just hitting the number may not be enough. The company may have to blow away the estimates and give super positive forward guidance. Just seven stocks in the S&P 500 have accounted for 75% of the move higher this year, and Nvidia is one of them. If it fails to hit the ball way out of the park, the market could be in big trouble.

What should investors with big “magnificent 7” gains do? If the overall market and the economy were in better shape, perhaps nothing other than hedge shares with a costless collar. Yet, with mortgage rates at highs not seen in years, the potential for interest rates to continue to rise and retail running into some stiff headwinds for some companies, it may make sense either to sell positions in full and take big profits to or sell half and hedge the other half.
