$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)If you had invested $100 in NVIDIA in 2010, you might be very wealthy today.

But let's walk through that journey again, assuming you really did nothing and held on until now.

By the end of 2015, that $100 would have grown to about $230,

You did nothing.

Then you watched that $230 climb to around $2000 near the 2018 high,

You still did nothing.

Then you watched that $2000 get cut in half during the late 2018 crash, falling below $1000,

You still did nothing.

Then you watched it surge all the way to around $9500 near the November 2021 high,

You still did nothing.

Then you watched that $9500 plummet to around $3200 near the October 2022 low,

You still did nothing.

Then you watched it explode from $3200 to just over $50,000 by 2026,

It's only at this point that you finally decide to do something...

Well, that $100 worth of NVIDIA stock from 2010 would indeed be worth over $50,000 today.

Value investing sounds simple. Everyone dreams of that final staggering return.

But almost no one truly has the discipline to endure the massive volatility in between to ultimately achieve that result.
