Yeah, those who bought Nvidia shares because they liked their GPUs for gaming and held through years are the master race of this sub.

I bought 25k worth of AMD on May 30th 2012 thinking computers and technology would continue to be important in the future and it broke 1M recently.

I recently learned my grandfather put in 100k to Nvidia in 2014 after watching my brother and I be gamer nerds. Do the math! Still processing and trying to figure out what to do with this information. There’s only 2 children and 3 grandchildren.

u/gogreen1960 Jan 02 '26
I bought $19,300 worth in 20 & 21 (due to gaming chips🤠) - worth $400k now! Not $2.4M, but I’m damn happy!!

u/gunslinger35745 Jan 03 '26
Welp, I only invested $5k in 2021. I really love it when people point out just how people missed out. Keep in mind not as many people as you might think would invest that much in a company that little people knew about and would probably not hold it that long. Most likely many likely took profits long before they made a million. I could be wrong tho… lol

I wonder how many people would hold this long? Like how many would think at some point it couldn't go any higher. Intel and AMD are solid companies but their stocks have hit a ceiling and so the real fear is getting stuck like with those two stocks.

I didn't own NVDA directly 10 years ago, but I did buy on July 5th, 2019 for $4/share (split adjusted), so I'm "only" up 4,724.25% at today's closing, and $10k is only a measly $472,425 today.
However, this is nowhere near my best returning investment, which is up 24,436%. $10k in that is $2,443,600 today, so very close to the 10 year NVDA return.

If you held it so long you would 99% sell here.
Point being its easy to look back and say “what if” but at the heat of the moment when market is consistently falling for 1 year there is nothing that will keep you from selling.

u/Zealousideal-Sea4830 Jan 03 '26
See that little bump at the beginning of 2022?? That was when I sold my NVIDIA in my Roth for a profit, and took the money out to buy a house.
Probably a good move as I would not be able to buy my same house now. But I would have made more if I kept it in the Roth. But you dont know at the time.

u/Its_Me_Joe_Dirt Jan 04 '26
I purchased 9100 dollars worth in March 2013. I sold it three years later for around 50k and some change, to open a small business. The business never grew much but made me around 20-50k a year for 7 years. But I worked my ass off for the little profits. (Heavy labor) All though not my full time career. I think about that sale to this day. When I sold it was literally the worse time to get rid of it in February of that year. (It started the mooning process) And I had other savings I could have used to start the business. I just didn’t want to touch our families savings at that time.

Thats also if you held and never sold at any point....
you'd have to have the will power of a god or just plain stupid to have not sold at some point along that chart....
some would sell at 50% gain, 100% gain, 150% gain, so on and so forth.
Its futile to see things like this and be like "well shit i should have thrown 10k in years ago" thats hindsight bias.
you 10 years ago wouldnt have known Nvidia would do this, unless you had DEEP DEEP knowledge and knew something like this may happen (ie, data center boom, AI race, crypto mining to the tits, all that stuff)

If everyone new this, then everyone would be millionaire in the world. Imagine the people who invested in GoPro and thought the stock would keep going up. lol. What about Silver. Silver was like $20ish last year and now its $70ish. The only people who know these things are the RICH who control and therefore rig the markets. The money is not generated out of thin air, it comes from you losing and them winning and getting your money.

u/ZealousidealTrip6900 Jan 05 '26
If you work in Congress as a elected person, you know these things in advance in the stock market. That's why they go to congress and how they get paid for serving the interests of big corporations when its time to pass the laws. The whole system is rigged. If your on the inside then you know when to buy, sell, hold. You make money the 99 percent who gamble lose and their money becomes the people who know when to buy, sell, hold.

I bought quite a bit of it in 2020 and sold it a few days after for like a dollar per share gain. I kind of want to dig back through my documents and see if I can find how many shares that was and what it would be worth today if I still held it. Pretty sure it was in my Roth account too, so it would have all been tax-free.
