"Not long ago I was coming back from a haircut, a rare trip for me outside the New York Stock Exchange, and I heard a man's voice calling me from the curb just behind Fearless Girl, a sculpture by the artist Kristen Visbal that I never fail to grin at when she catches my eye. "Jim, can I shake your hand?" the man asked."
""I want to show you something." His wife said, "It's something that has allowed me to retire." Jeremy opened an app filled with stock listings, and he jabbed one line, a line that said "Nvidia, $2,545,000." Jeremy told me that's what I made for him. That's what allowed his wife, a schoolteacher in New Hampshire, to retire."
"Taking into account a couple of stock splits the company has had since then, Nvidia traded at just under $4 at the time. Less than $4 invested that day would have gotten you $136 by the end of December 2024. Meaning $1,000 would have turned into $34,622-and $10,000 would have grown into a $346,218 win."
A man named Jeremy credited a multi-million-dollar Nvidia holding with enabling his wife's retirement, showing a $2,545,000 value on his phone. The acknowledgement was given to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as the chipmaker grew into one of the world's largest companies alongside Microsoft and Apple. Tens of thousands bought Nvidia on June 20, 2017 after a prominent public endorsement; adjusted for splits, the stock cost just under $4 at that time. By December 2024, that stance multiplied dramatically — $1,000 would have become about $34,622 and $10,000 about $346,218.
