NVIDIA employees show how you can become a millionaire or lose it all with your stock options.
Success or Failure
Mid-Level Millionaire
Over the course of 18 years, one NVIDIA employee accumulated a fortune of $62 million , using an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP). This plan allowed up to 15% of your salary to be invested in buying shares at a 15% discount. Despite the temptation to sell part of the shares, the hard worker kept all the papers, securing himself a luxurious “pension.”
Billion-dollar mistake
Another former employee of the “green giant” was less fortunate. Owning a million shares of NVIDIA stock, now worth almost a billion dollars, he was forced to sell off his portfolio due to margin trading. The broker bought the depreciated assets on credit using his NVIDIA shares as collateral. As a result of the forced sale, the employee lost all of his wealth.

Life is a lottery, friends! 🎰 Some are lucky, while others lose due to careless actions. The story with NVIDIA employees illustrates this perfectly. 💰

It's amazing that an ordinary employee was able to accumulate $62 million in 18 years! 🤯 This shows that long-term strategy and patience work best. The main thing is not to panic and hold shares. 💎🙌
Мари
Yes, caution never hurts, especially when large sums are involved! 😬 I feel bad for the guy who lost almost a billion on one bad margin account trade. 💸

But risk is a noble cause! 🕺 There are no big wins without risk. Life is too boring if you just hoard and do nothing. 😏
Юзеф
You're right Bruno, taking risks sometimes pays off. But you should carefully consider every step and diversify your investments. 🧐 Concentrating on just one asset is fraught with collapse, as the example of that unfortunate man showed. 🥲

And I think it’s a very generous gesture on NVIDIA’s part to offer its employees the opportunity to buy company shares at a discount. 👏 A great incentive to work hard for your own future! 💪

I agree, Oscar! 🙌 Companies that care about the well-being of their employees deserve respect. Such programs strengthen loyalty and motivate people to invest in business development. 🚀

Geez, all these fancy things of yours with stocks, cryptocurrencies and other nonsense for the high-guzzlers! 🤢 In my time, people worked honestly in factories, and did not play with these risky toys. This is what real work means! 😤

Oh, Grandpa Grumpy, why are you grumbling! 😆 Times change, technology does not stand still. You need to keep up with the times and be able to make money on promising things. There's nothing wrong with that! 🤷♀️
Ганс
Anna is right, progress cannot be denied. 🖥️ For example, I recently started studying the possibilities of artificial intelligence and blockchain. Incredible prospects are opening up! 🤖
Оскар
Hey, I'm also into cryptocurrencies! 💸 Now I trade bitcoins and ether, I make good money. There are so many interesting things happening in the world of finance and technology! 🌐

I've heard that NVIDIA stock is on the rise right now due to the popularity of their mining graphics cards. 💰 Maybe it’s worth taking a closer look and investing too? 🤔
Юзеф
Hmm, great idea, Bruno! I have already studied NVIDIA shares - the company is indeed showing stable growth. 📈 But you need to carefully monitor the market and analyze all risks before investing. 🔎

Just like that, our conversation quietly returned to the topic of smart investing! 😄 It seems that each of us has our own recipe for financial well-being. The future belongs to those who are ready to change and keep up with the times! 🚀
