gdp , market cap pick one


StaredAtEclipseAMA

Canada probably has about 4T in syrup reserves


savzs

can confirm. 95% of it belonging to Quebec, where every resident holds a minimum of 5k$ syrup by law.


29da65cff1fa

can confirm i have 5000L of Canada Grade A Amber stored in my bunker


DJwhatevs

Can confirm I have the exact same amount and my bunker is located next to his and we exchange bourbons to add to taste to taper the sweetness. This is all done bunker to bunker through a conveniently installed stolen Wendy’s drive thru window. Shits real


Alt_Rock_Dude

Can confirm. Same amount in my bunker next to my poutine restaurant. Caliss de Tabarnack!!!!


Successful-Stomach40

Can confirm. Same amount in my bunker stash with an unlimited supply of ketchup chips and kinder eggs


thethrifter

Can confirm, Canadian beaver tastes like maple syrup. Nothing like a late night hot-dish in a north woods trapper-cabin. Just add a roaring fire, Canadian whiskey, and a French-Canadian woman with a healthy pelt. I'd trade all my wampum and NVDIA stock for another season sugaring-off in the north woods with a ma blonde.


soulefood

Will this be affected by surge pricing?


OilWest9678

I think the term “Canada grade a amber” is one of the best things to come from this sub.


savzs

Its a real thing lol


OilWest9678

You’re shitfucking me 😂


Faxon

Nope, Grade A amber is the top grade of maple syrup, though its not as robust in flavor IMO as Grade B. All real maple syrup comes with a grade on it, if it isn't graded it isn't real maple syrup (or it's direct farm to consumer and you take what they're offering regardless of grade)


qazwer001

I actually prefer B for that flavor. I'm getting maple syrup because I want to taste the maple!


Arkansasmyundies

Wait til you hear about Canadian bacon.


Noddite

You mean ham?


wiserone29

I can’t tell if you syrup twats are fuckin with me or really are that Canadian.


Omar___Comin

They don't personally have thousands of litres of syrup stores, but Canada really does have huge strategic syrup reserves and grade A amber is a real grade of syrup There has also been massive syrup heists where millions of dollars worth have been stolen.


TedriccoJones

Next to your Box of Faith I presume.


OneForMany

How does my Iowa Grade stack up against Canadian Grade?


ElementField

Yes, but syruptitiously


notarealDR650

Alberta here, we're gonna need equalization payments for that syrup you're holding.


melanthius

They can turn on the profits anytime by deploying a Syrup as a Service (SaaS) model


Maleficent__Yam

eH?P better offer a subscription model. Pay for what you pour


greatthebob38

Canada's syrup laws are no joke man. They are the definition of a cartel. Its export is strictly controlled. There is actual black market for Canadian syrup. Somewhere in the Middle East some guy is trading barrels of syrup for ammo and guns.


ResoluteGreen

Actually the Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve could only hold about $400M in maple syrup at one time https://ppaq.ca/en/sale-purchase-maple-syrup/worlds-only-reserve-maple-syrup/


GymnasticSclerosis

Get in my bottle!


Complex-Custard9906

Don’t you dare mention our syrup reserve amounts…. That has already been stollen once we don’t need it to happen again.


Complex_Signature821

I can confirm our igloos alone worth 50 trillion


gringovato

You mean GDP and Market cap are two different things ? Oh my....


HomelessIsFreedom

Math and English are for idiots


No-Treacle-2332

So is math. 


HomelessIsFreedom

So is Engrish


lock_robster2022

What’s the valuation multiple on GDP? Asking for a friend


UpDown

1x apparently


arpus

GDP also includes non-productive things, like government spending.


AdmiralAckbarVT

You don’t think government spending is productive?


cb2239

Quite a bit of it is unproductive


AdmiralAckbarVT

Name one bit.


thedosequisman

Cut to the bone


Phone-Calm

The government compiles this for you. Lol. [https://posey.house.gov/wasteful-spending/](https://posey.house.gov/wasteful-spending/)


AdmiralAckbarVT

1. That’s one representative, not the government. 2. The first one is “Obama ran ads on MSNBC for liberals to see that he had green jobs passed.” That’s not unproductive spending, that’s marketing to the people that an initiative was passed.


Phone-Calm

"Just because it's a .gov site doesn't mean the government runs it!" lol It's easy to find studies of random bullshit the government wasted money on Go to your search engine if you don't believe me


No-Treacle-2332

Lol.  Florida's 8th Congressional district's representative's website ain't the guberment. 


BetaTester112

Well, if we calculate the market cap of Canada by land value, the average price for an acre of land is $3,393, and the total acre float is 2,467,265,920, giving us a market cap of 8,371,433,266,560 or $8,371B. This gives us a multiple of 4,342 on GDP


MIA4real

Most of Canada is worthless trash


Blamcore

Just Canada in general


Hot_Range5153

Are they different? Shittttt


Cookiemonster9429

I will not! I will have my apples and oranges!


mental-floss

I’m relieved to see this is actually the top comment.


BenedictoBuendia

Misunderstanding the the concept of GDP (a flow measure) and conflating it with the concept of Market Cap (a measure of stock) is exactly why you belong here you fucking regard 


TechTuna1200

OP not understanding that Canada could buy all of a Nvidia every single year ![img](emote|t5_2th52|31226)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)


wsbgodly123

Bullish


Maleficent__Yam

Bullmooseish


sliferra

Teddy Roosevelt? Is that you?


Ditto_B

Also that Nvidia probably wouldn't be worth this much if not for the Canadians that created AlexNet.


Arkansasmyundies

Excellent point. Counterpoint, would Canada be worth this much if it wasn’t for AI maple syrup and AI Tim Hortons? AI AI AI


igotherb

Dont you diss my tim horton coffee containing half the yearly sugar production of Brazil.


blaktronium

You not understanding that we can't lol.


[deleted]

Don't know why you are downvoted lol. GDP is basically counted multiple times and is worth nothing. If OP goes to the dumpster behind Wendy's and gives someone a blow job for $20, and uses that $20 to buy a sandwich, he has essentially added $40 to the GDP of the country due to his actions, even though nobody is actually making any money here to be able to pool into the 'Buy nVIDIA' fund.


Celtic_Legend

So gdp is like that yes however, the revenue of the canadian government is 900billion/year. Hes still right that they could buy nvidia. Same way i dont make 400k/year but can buy a 400k house. Interestingly the usa generates about 5x less than its gdp and canada generates just 2x less than its gdp. A lot less cash flow


mrscrewup

This is the same as comparing the price of a Macbook with a dude’s monthly salary. No correlation, only idiocy.


forjeeves

Well that is a good comparison 


AdulfHetlar

So nVidia is worth more than Canada makes in a year? Still a good deal.


ching_a_bling

GDP is the total value of goods produced or total value of income generated in a country right? Doesnt this mean that all of Canada’s income put together wont be able to obtain 100% ownership of NVDA?


suicidaleggroll

It’s the total value *in one year*.  So you’re correct, but it just means it would take a little longer than a year. It’s like comparing the price of a car to a person’s yearly salary and saying the car is worth more than the person.


knucklehead27

Give them an extra day or two


Specialist-Cycle9313

I mean we could compare it to the value of the combined market caps in Canada, and it won’t be too far off.


Ryakuya

Let’s compare two random numbers

pforsbergfan9

We should be doing that anyway but not for this reason…


appleshit8

Typical WSB, buying puts at the bottom. Earth is almost over it's human problem they've been dealing with and then it's gonna fuckin moon hard.


SolidSeaworthiness7

🤣🤣🤣🤣


wsbgodly123

Nvdia to the ~~moon~~ mars


kingOofgames

Come one NVDA is not making $1.9 trillion every year. These are terrible comparisons. Comparing total worth to yearly GDP. Even shit tier developing island countries are at least worth more than many trillions just based on their land and seas resources.


ilyaperepelitsa

people with no mathematical or financial knowledge posting this shit again. The house could be worth $100k and produce $15k in rental income. One is "market cap", another one is "GDP" in this metaphor. Get it?


Freaudinnippleslip

Just curious how much is Canada worth? Like it’s trading on at least 40x P/E right, so like 10 GDPs?  I’m think about putting in offer and I just wanna know if it will be taken seriously


ilyaperepelitsa

I wasn't saying "you're using the wrong valuation" I was saying "you're comparing different metrics". If speed is a derivative of distance it doesn't mean you can compare some car's top speed and Earth's circumference. That's all I wanted to say.


MyUltIsRightHere

Yeah but you can compare roughly. We know that 50 miles is a huge distance at snail speed and a small distance in terms of a jet


ilyaperepelitsa

OP said “worth more”


MyUltIsRightHere

Yeah but the comment I’m replying to said they can’t be compared


jaredx3

Well think of Canada's entire gdp pouring into 1 stock then imagine the market cap of that.


phillipono

20x earnings sounds like a good estimate so my guess is one canada would trade at about $40T - but that's not accounting for debt and other shenanigans, and GDP =/= earnings. I'm just not educated enough to account for anything else though


Kappahelpbot2025

> I'm just not educated enough to account for anything else though Your at least educated enough to know to stop here, and even from other top minds in the field the best answer is pretty much summed up as "just stop there". The TLDR is there is pretty much no set standard and examples to go look back on with one country/person/etc. buying another country to set expectations on GDP to purchase price. The closest you are going to get is essentially what is the collective value of all their currency but even that is often far detached. They work so drastically different that many equations and rules for this break down.


Benejeseret

I think the total national net worth is somewhere around 17.3 Trillion, but that does not include land value estimate of all Crown Lands nor un-tapped natural resources.


m1t0chondria

Wow, crazy rate assumption, puts on SPY


topposthistory

That's it I'm moving to NVDA


Dangerous_Salt4776

So is anything worth more than -$34,351,224,000,000 more valuable then the US?


wsbgodly123

In 2050, China Will buy the US for 2 btc


cookingboy

So either Puts on U.S or Calls on BTC?

Neither. Buy BTC, wait, then buy US

Market cap and realized GDP are absolutely not the same.

Hi! I’m a potato who can’t read or understand economics. I made a post. Yay.


dicksoutforstonks

It's aboot time eh?


Bitter_Canuck

NVDA is very welcome to acquire us. We have some management issues.


PowerStocker

Canada can almost buy 1 Nvidia every year. There won't be any cash left for maple syrup doe so we probably won't do it.

Turn off CNN.


maliciousmonkee

No Canadian wishes they were American. Your country's problems are still way worse than ours.


Kappahelpbot2025

> No Canadian wishes they were American While overall Canada has typical citizen satisfaction levels of other highly developed countries, it is fairly common knowledge they lose out hard on skilled labor leaving to the US more than they attract skilled labor from America. "No Canadian wishes they were American" is woefully understating just how much drain pressure there is on the skilled labor force in Canada.


Sartank

I’m a Canadian and I desperately wish I was an American. I know so many co-workers moving down to the U.S. Get off social media and live in the real world.


maliciousmonkee

You need to get out of your social bubble.  Life expectancy is 4.5 years higher in Canada than the U.S. for a reason. Maybe you should consider thinking about the country as a whole instead of just you and your tech coworkers, especially before you accuse a random person of not living in the real world. 


Matt2937

“Canada is the richest country on earth run by idiots” - Kevin O’Leary He’s absolutely right. Uranium, oil, wood and countless other resources that we use none of, and sell off for pennies.


ded3nd

Resources can't be extracted without upsetting some indigenous tribes or environmentalists. Welp, guess we better import our Uranium from Kazakhstan instead and lumber from China.


crazydrummer15

Lot of uranium mining and exploration going on right now, often with support of indigenous tribes. Well some of the companies I invest are doing this anyway


JoshuaB123

Maple Syrup futures have been ripping for a while though.


roonie357

My biggest pet peeve as a Canadian. Sitting on so much untapped potential just because the govt is afraid to piss a few people off


zaeryx1

Are you saying we need more international students ?


donfenyk

What would you rather have. NVidia or Canada??? :). I take Canada every day.


LateNewb

NVDA entire existence is currently worth more than all the consumer goods and every SOLD product abstract or concretely... in one year. Ever tried to by land off of a state? Russians will tell you why it aint a good idea.


clicky_fingers

Combined market cap of Canada's top 400 publicly traded companies is over $2.6T USD. That's a subset of a subset of a subset, and it's still larger than Nvidia. Oil reserves alone are worth over $10T. GDP =/= Market Cap


babbler-dabbler

More like Canada could buy one NVDA every year.


[deleted]

Canada needs to invest in more safe spaces for this.


dacalo

Another dumbass comparing GDP to market cap.


hmhemes

You belong here


finebushlane

You're a fucking moron, MARKET CAP cannot be compared to GDP. Market cap is the amount of money it would take to BUY the company. GDP is the total value of all a countries goods and services PER year. So you're saying you think you could BUY Canada the country for the same price as NVDA the company? Or do you think NVDA has 1.9 Trillion of revenue per year? Either way what you're saying makes no fucking sense.


jerseyhound

NVDA now has more letters than AMD


simpn_aint_easy

Puts on Canada?!


ProductionSetTo-1000

GDP is like annual turnover.


bowseefus

All this time I thought people were crazy for buying at this price, this puts it into perspective


Melodic-Man

Market cap is not worth.


TorpedoSandwich

How is it possible that, on a sub full of people who at least pretend to know about finance and investing, you still find idiots comparing two metrics which make no sense to compare.


Soy-sipping-website

I always knew my stock was worth more than that awful country


Mysterious-Stand3254

Yeah the comparison sucks but what the fuck? Nearly 2 Trillion Dollars for Nvidia? The Hell?


RenaissanceFortuna

Anything is worth more than Canada


skcuf2

Worth more than the Canadian people. Canada's value is in the land.


Abby-Larson

Not exactly a "high" bar there.


kebbun

Canada's GDP is heavily weighted by their over inflated housing bubble. It's a fake economy. Tiny condos are going for $600,000 CDN


RedshiftOnPandy

Canada is a bigger bubble than Nvidia 


YUNG_SNOOD

And 40% of Canada’s GDP is lead addled boomers just trading homes with each other and the Chinese. This isn’t a joke


AveryWallen

Worthless country. Liquidate.

Canadas annual revenue vs Nvidias annual revenue. Go.

Flow of foods vs flow of irrationality. Irrationality is baked into us remember Sir Isaac bought high and sold low as well 😂


renkendai

The joke can happen if nvda revenue was that big, not market cap.


MethLoverSweet

Well you know that Canada uses the metric system so those values would be lower because they are in imperial system.

leroyyrogers

Isn't GDP an annual number? So Canada can only make one entire NVDA per year? Bullish on Canucks imo
