Benzinga Bulls And Bears: Nvidia, Rivian, Broadcom, Bitcoin And Is Dogecoin Setting Up For 2020 Bull Run Repeat?

Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors' favorite stocks over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.

The three primary stock indices experienced gains this week, with the S&P 500 climbing by 1.66%, the Nasdaq, known for its tech focus, increasing by 1.4%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising by 1.3%.

The excitement on Wall Street was primarily fueled by Nvidia Corporation's NVDA impressive earnings report, which propelled its shares upward and briefly elevated the company's market valuation to over $2 trillion.

Also making headlines, Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co JPM, offloaded over 800,000 shares of the banking giant on Thursday, a transaction that amounted to roughly $150 million, as revealed by a filing with the securities regulators.
