The story behind the number
Nvidia since 2019 has been a fairly steady climb. $1,000 put in at the end of 2019 grew to $34,896 — a 34.9× return, or about 73.9% a year. That beat the S&P 500, which turned the same $1,000 into $2,305 — you'd have come out roughly 15.1× ahead of simply buying the index.
The ride mattered as much as the destination. The strongest single year was 2023, up 36%; the worst was 2022, down 32%.
Holding on took nerve: the position fell as much as 63% from its 2021 peak to its 2022 low, before climbing back above that high by 2023. Inflation takes a bite, too — consumer prices rose about 29% over the period, so in today's money the result is closer to 27.0× what you put in.
