NVDA- NVIDIA Corporation
Technology · Semiconductors
Few company stories are as improbable as Nvidia’s. On January 25, 1993, Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem founded the company at a Denny’s restaurant in San Jose, naming it after "invidia," the Latin word for envy. The early years were brutal: its first chip flopped and it nearly went bankrupt. But in 1999 Nvidia went public and launched the GeForce 256, billed as the world’s first GPU. Its 2006 bet on CUDA, a way to use gaming chips for general computing, looked like a distraction at the time. It became the deepest moat in tech, and the foundation of the AI revolution that would one day make Nvidia the most valuable company on Earth.

What is compound interest?
Compound interest means that the interest you earn in one period is added to your principal, so in the next period you earn interest on a larger base. This creates exponential growth: the longer your time horizon, the more dramatic the effect.
Which rate should I use?
The S&P 500 has historically returned ~10%/year before inflation over long periods - use this for an all-equity US index fund scenario. A balanced growth portfolio (stocks + bonds) is closer to 7%. High-yield savings accounts (HYSA) are currently paying around 4-5% with FDIC insurance and zero market risk. Bonds historically return ~4% annualized.
Formula used
FV = PV × (1+r)^n + PMT × ((1+r)^n − 1) / rwhere r is the monthly rate, n is the number of months, PV is the initial investment, and PMT is the monthly contribution. Annual rates are converted to monthly viar = (1 + annual%)^(1/12) − 1.
