Which is better to buy: Microsoft or NVIDIA?
We do not advise what to buy. By the numbers: Microsoft rose more over the year (+6.3%); Microsoft is closer to its 52-week high; NVIDIA has the higher operating margin; NVIDIA is growing revenue faster; NVIDIA has the lower P/E. How to weigh such signs is covered in «How to analyse a stock».
Can I buy both?
Yes. Many hold several companies in one industry to avoid depending on one. A broad index fund often already holds the largest US companies.
