Nvidia 2013 - 2025

Since 2013 it's up 57,465%, that's 69.7% per year on average 🤨😵‍💫🤯

But I feel like the company is surely running out of runway. I mean at $4.4trillion market cap even a 100% return from here is putting it close to $10trillion market cap. 

But I feel like we're living in a world where money isn't actually real any more so who the hell knows.

In 2013 who even knew that AI and soon to be robotics would be such a thing in the 2020s and that a video game graphics chip design company would be at the forefront? Maybe James Cameron & Gale Ann Hurd did! A smart punt if you did.

Without a crystal ball, a monkey could probably pick as many of 2050s winning mega cap companies as we could today.

That's why index fund investing is probably the smartest option for many, you get todays winners plus a small piece of tomorrow's winners...as well as the also rans while the losers drop down the index and get replaced.

Yep. As an avid gamer I was building PCs back in 2013 and the only GPU worth buying was Nvidia, nobody was really touching AMD. So Nvidia was well known to me but like you said, they were just selling graphics card right? It didn't even occur to me to invest in them. 

It's amazing how a drastically a company can pivot into something knew and that knew thing completely overtakes the original companies product.

I imagine something similar could happen in a field like pharma. Like AstraZeneca for example doesn't have anything to do with neurochips, but one day they might start exploring it and in 20 years time could completely dominate compared to what they do now. 

Nobody really knows.

"Trees do not grow to the sky" as the saying goes.

Many large companies are no longer around for one reason or another, KODAK, ENRON.

We now have the Magnificent 7. Will they go the the same way as the Nifty Fifty, who knows?

Possibly not. I suspect many of the 2050 winning companies might not even exist at the moment. Facebook and Google are under 25 years old as public companies.

That's exactly what I've been doing, invested in a global technology fund a while back, this includes Google/Apple/Microsoft & Nvidia.

I knew that technology was going to boom, but wouldn't have a clue which company to back individually. Going with an ETF means I can back the industry instead of backing a specific company.
