if you bought $1,000 worth of Nvidia stock when they first ipoed in 1999 and held for a year and a half your investment would have grown to 8,341 that's over an 8X in the space of a year and a half but it turns out that the roller coaster is just getting started because in 2001 your investment would be worth $14,000 however if you sold in 2002 you would have had just $2,414 held on for 5 years after that in 2007 and you would have $22,000 from your initial $1,000 investment not too much happens over the next 7 years for NVIDIA if in 2014 you sold you would had $122,000 however things just go exploding from there by 2016 your investment would be worth $67,000 by 2017 you would have $146,000 by 2020 your investment would be worth $321,000 if you sold Nidia at the end of 2021 you would have $719,000 but of course if you managed to hold on to today after the AI Revolution you would have $951,000 from your $1,000 initial investment in the space of just 24 years
