The story behind the number
Nvidia since 2000 has been a fairly steady climb. $1,000 put in at the end of 2000 grew to $1,465,643 — a 1,466× return, or about 33.2% a year. That beat the S&P 500, which turned the same $1,000 into $5,654 — you'd have come out roughly 259× ahead of simply buying the index.
The ride mattered as much as the destination. The strongest single year was 2003, up 83%; the worst was 2002, down 50%.
Holding on took nerve: the position fell as much as 88% from its 2001 peak to its 2002 low, before climbing back above that high by 2003. Inflation takes a bite, too — consumer prices rose about 91% over the period, so in today's money the result is closer to 766× what you put in.
