The story behind the number
Nvidia since 2007 has been a fairly steady climb. $1,000 put in at the end of 2007 grew to $241,400 — a 241× return, or about 34.7% a year. That beat the S&P 500, which turned the same $1,000 into $5,073 — you'd have come out roughly 47.6× ahead of simply buying the index.
The ride mattered as much as the destination. The strongest single year was 2011, up 58%; the worst was 2008, down 38%.
Holding on took nerve: the position fell as much as 78% from its 2007 peak to its 2008 low, before climbing back above that high by 2016. Inflation takes a bite, too — consumer prices rose about 58% over the period, so in today's money the result is closer to 153× what you put in.
