Though the average investor may not have even heard of it until recently, Nvidia is the hottest company around, officially becoming the world's most valuable on Tuesday. And for investors who were lucky enough to get in early, the gains are meteoric.
An investment of $1,000 in Nvidia in June 2014 would be worth over $297,600 at Wednesday's close, according to calculations from Morningstar Direct. That's cumulative growth of 29,660%.
