"4,000% or 5,000% Over Five or Six Years": Why Patient Investors in NVDA, AMD, and LLY Are Winning

Retail investors are advised to stop trading stocks they should hold. Leading companies are described as likely to keep leading, with long-term compounding potentially reaching several thousand percent over five or six years. Short-term traders are warned that exiting early can turn strong gains into much smaller results. NVIDIA is cited as an example: an investor who doubled money after investing in 2023 is said to have missed subsequent performance. NVIDIA’s recent results include rapid revenue growth, strong earnings per share, and large free cash flow, alongside commentary about an “agentic AI inflection point.” AMD is presented as another AI compounder with accelerating data center revenue and customer engagement. Eli Lilly is also highlighted for strong growth in revenue and earnings, driven by major products and raised guidance.

"“The ones that are leading now will lead,” he said, warning that top companies could compound 4,000% or 5,000% over five or six years while impatient traders walk away with 200% profits that get “blown on a car or a vacation or somebody who doesn't love you.”"

"His example: an investor who put $100,000 into NVIDIA in 2023 and doubled their money, then exited. The numbers since suggest that decision was costly. NVIDIA ( NASDAQ:NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) has returned 1,454.69% since January 3, 2023, and 1,484.53% over five years. The fundamentals back the run."

"Q4 FY2026 revenue hit $68.13 billion, up 73.2% year over year, with EPS of $1.62 versus a $1.52 estimate. Full-year FY2026 revenue reached $215.94 billion with $96.58 billion in free cash flow. CEO Jensen Huang told investors “the agentic AI inflection point has arrived” in the Q4 release."

"Advanced Micro Devices ( NASDAQ:AMD) is up 259.3% over the past year and 96.58% year to date. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $10.25 billion, up 37.9% YoY, with Data Center growing 57% to $5.78 billion. CEO Lisa Su flagged that “Customer engagement around MI450 Series and Helios is strengthening, with leading customer forecasts exceeding our initial expectations.”"
