The bulls have been partying for three years straight, and honestly? They're not showing signs of stopping. The S&P 500 wrapped up 2025 with an 18% gain—not bad for a year that started with everyone convinced the market was about to implode. Turns out, the apocalypse got postponed. Here's the thing: most Wall Street strategists aren't calling this a new bull market. They're saying 2025 was just Act Three of the bull market that kicked off in late 2022. That's three ...

And that's exactly what happened when Nvidia announced it was investing in Marvell Technology and bringing them into its AI ecosystem through something called NVLink Fusion. Marvell's stock jumped 11% faster than you can say "AI infrastructure." But this isn't just another tech money move.
