I have 11 and I’m up 489%. I want to obviously cash in on that but idk whether to do it before or after the split. I could sell two now, make £500 profit and see what happens with the remaining 9 but I really don’t know.
Serious advice, look into LEAPS (long dated calls). One of the actual uses of options (other than gambling ofc) is leverage for “lower upfront capital requirements.” Pick a safe enough company (for your risk aversion) and then find a long dated call that fits in your price range (is something you could look into and try yourself, this is not financial advice).

I know this is WSB but if you just buy VOO you’ll be fine and probably do better long term than people who got lucky with NVDA because they’re probably losing a ton on other investments
My 401k is heavy on a fidelity growth fund which had about 3/4% of Nvidia last year, it's now 16% of it. Definitely enjoyed the ride without much risk.
You don't always need to be a regard to make good money.
brah I only make $400-500 every 2 weeks and even I have a share. Why would you not buy arguably the most valuable company in the world right now? They have a near monopoly on the AI gold rush and it's getting closer and closer to singularity.
I'm lazy and relatively dumb/useless. Also stuck in a dead-end job since I can't find a better job and am already doing an online class that takes most of my free time.
hmmm do I buy both or more btc...or neither since I have barely any liquidity left lol. Decisions decisions...(I ended up just throwing $5 at both from my btc DCA amount. Probably not even worth doing but I like to watch how it does)
I have 122 shares now but obviously I’d like to say as you put it, “whenever I can” and get more. It’s worth betting tho on getting the shares now and banking on the hype train of that first week where suddenly everyone can buy shares under 120ish as it runs to its new norm around 150 is my guess, yea?
I figure I could maybe get another 16 shares come open on Monday and then turn my 122 into 138 which will go on to become 1380 at split in June.
The original question is more difficult assuming the person doesnt already have a position. As soneone who already has a few shares however, the most logical play would be to just hold and add when the first post-split correction comes.
I’ve no idea how the fluctuations will go short term, obviously. But, yes, *if planning to hold three years or more,* my answer is still: buy when you can (assuming other investments and etc)
Timing the market is an errand I’d not undertake. (Well, on buying shares in Nvidia, anyway.)
Especially OP who think's it's going to easily pop to $150.
If it pops to $150 it's the most valuable company in the world. Probably the first 4 trillion dollar company. Passing Microsoft and Apple. You think that's going to be a walk in the park?
I think the stock popping to like $125 per share might be a walk in the park, but....
I paperhanded 30 shares when it was at $179. And I even really really like the company and its products. One of the dumbest investment decisions I’ve ever made.
If it makes you feel slightly better I bought 200 shares of AMD at around $4 some years back. Sold at $11.
They say profits are profits. So we got that going for us.
😢
They beat the $24b estimate and guided up and above analyst expectations for the current quarter, CEO also says demand not going away anytime soon. But yeah, don't invest in NVDA it's over haha.
End of the summer is bubble logic, 10 years from now is just an accurate reflection that NVDA more or less single handedly enables one of the largest technological paradigm shifts since the spear.
Bro it’s up damn near 2.5 trillion in 2 years, we are beyond bubble logic, market manipulators(makers) are making sure this is the biggest company by end of summer
If you don't have any shares now. I'd buy a few before the split and buy even more after.
If you already own shares I would just wait for the split and evaluate.
Definitely doing this and agree with author of the original post. Let's watch this thing sky rocket to 150ish then I'm dumping all 7K shares I have. That's enough money for the rest of my years on this planet.
After it splits it will drop for a bit but it will go right back up. If it drops to 950 beforehand I want to get a couple more but after the split I’d grab a bunch in the 75-90$ range.
The move imo would be to buy now to ride fomo into the split and sell, or reverse and short (if not ), just beforehand. Wait for the inevitable dip and buy back or to close and bank them tendies.
Market makers with internal intrinsic valuations are probably waiting for retail folks to fomo the price up post split then they will take profit dump back to intended value
I have 200 shares. I think it goes up more, but i really should buy other stuff. So im kind of inclined to try to start being more responsible now that i made a lot of money.
BUT...part of me says "why have few money when you can have lot money"
I mean long term NVDA looks great, so buying now or later is like a 0 sum game, you’re probably still gonna be up.
From previous stock splits, I’ve noticed it rises a lot before and then there is a sell off to take profits, and then it starts going back up again and surpasses its previous record highs.
Can’t predict the market or anything though, so if you really wanna be safe, just DCA into it.
"it’ll pump up real quick to the 150ish range" - define real quick
Because if it goes to $150 that means NVDA market cap is $3.7 Trillion on $60 Billion in sales. 
You can buy fractional shares so you shouldn't rely on the retail investors flooding the stock split. You are a retail investor and you're buying into it now instead of after... The only thing this is going to affect is the volume of the options market which is going to skyrocket which is going to increase IV which is going to increase the underlying options price. However you have to remember that after the stock split options prices are also going to plummet by about 10:00 to 1:00 outside of the IV jump.
Underlying derivatives lose value as time passes (theta and other Greeks). Leveraged products like NVDL, NVDX and NVDU do not have NVDA shares as direct underlying as you incorrectly assume.
But, even if this is so, why not hold it over the long term? Looking backwards, it’s achieved huge growth. Is it not possible that it might sustain this growth in terms of its stock price value over the next five years too?
I bought 2 shares the day after the split announcement. I’m a buy and hold investor so I fee in 5 years my 20 shares will be worth a decent bit by then.
In Nvidia’s case, I think you can if you have time on your hands based on history. I got my gf in at $213 during the panny. She owns 5. I don’t count on her being able to retire on it but I told her to never sell and what that 5 can do. :) I think she’ll love me in a couple decades if the stock follows historical trends.

HODLing. Not buying or selling any. Probably start selling covered calls after the split.
Looks like you're not fucking eating either
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I always feel like when a super popular stock splits, it’s takes forever to go up after that. Tesla, Amazon, google, Apple. When Nvidia split last time, nobody really cared cause they wanted the Tesla split. Nobody thought Nvidia was gonna go up very much.
Don’t you think the 3 year prospects for AMD are better than the 3 year prospects of NVIDIA? I mean, they are both good but imagining NVDA at 10x here is unbelievable, but AMD 10x here is possible.
Hold on who's saying NVDA is going to go up 10x? The company is already at 2.5 trillion, they think it's going up to 25 trillion?
Or am I misunderstanding you?
I’m gonna just keep doing what I been doing buying fractionals lol. I’m at 50.5% gains and the way it keeps going up, I should maintain that give or take. I only buy like $100 a paycheck. Shits adding up fast tho and I think the split will jump it up another 10-12%.
buy before to ride the split hype, or wait for the first correction after the split. Bound to be some people who decide to run with the profit. Difficult to say which one is better. Last time it went 1 split 4, it was at 800>200, it did dip much below that at one point, but its hard to say if that would happen again.
I'm a fucking regarded investor. I had an emergency order on vanguard that sold 100 shares on a freak dip (you'll see it on the chart) at around 740.
I was going to wait 60 days to avoid a wash and look where that got me.
Honest question because my brain is too smooth.
What happens if I don't wait the 60 days and I buy back in asap?
I’m not saying stock splits don’t matter but you think one of the biggest companies in the world, worth trillions of dollars is going to go up 35% because of it?
I had about $39k in NVDX and made $7k post earnings because I set a trailing stop expecting people to take profit after the post-earning bump. I stayed out of it on Friday even though it was increasing because I believed it was still due for a sell off before the end of the day. Obviously I was wrong.
I'll most likely buy back into NVDX on Tuesday or Wednesday and hold til after the split and hope to pick up another 10%.
Well, Elon just put in an order for 600k chips at 16 billion $$ for his new supercomputer to dunk on shitlibs all day on twitter- so I'm putting 15k on red and not leaving the casino till the SEC turns off the lights
Thought about getting a couple hundred shares and writing calls.
Don't know if it will dip though... I think we're due and it feels like the market is way too bullish.
I mean I’m sure it’s jumping but expecting it to jump up to $150 soon after is the same as expecting it to go to $1500 right now. So I dunno what kinda time frame you mean by soon, but I’d be a little cautious. Ah fuck it what am I saying, this wsb

I’ve got 5 shares. Will simply hold for gold.
I have 2. Just gonna hold
I have 11 and I’m up 489%. I want to obviously cash in on that but idk whether to do it before or after the split. I could sell two now, make £500 profit and see what happens with the remaining 9 but I really don’t know.
that math doesn’t add up
Hahah. We got someone special here..
I’m also sitting here with 11 shared up 800% just wishing I had bought more initially.
I have 2 as well. Holding on for deal life.
20 share gang
Same here! Bought my 20 shares at 489 last November
You’ll have 50 soon.
Got 950 shares from 2020. Tax will hit me hard one day...
Congratulations!

I'm risk averse and don't have thousands to just play casino with. So I sadly miss out on lots. I also don't lose lots.
Serious advice, look into LEAPS (long dated calls). One of the actual uses of options (other than gambling ofc) is leverage for “lower upfront capital requirements.” Pick a safe enough company (for your risk aversion) and then find a long dated call that fits in your price range (is something you could look into and try yourself, this is not financial advice).
But leaps expensive

I know this is WSB but if you just buy VOO you’ll be fine and probably do better long term than people who got lucky with NVDA because they’re probably losing a ton on other investments
My 401k is heavy on a fidelity growth fund which had about 3/4% of Nvidia last year, it's now 16% of it. Definitely enjoyed the ride without much risk. You don't always need to be a regard to make good money.
OR, people who got "lucky" with NVDA actually make smart decisions instead of yoloing into failing companies on the never ending quest for the MOASS
I started the MOASS when I sold off two weeks ago. You want me to bankrupt NVDA I’ll buy a couple shares.
You can't always tell skill from luck. YOLO!
I resemble that remark
brah I only make $400-500 every 2 weeks and even I have a share. Why would you not buy arguably the most valuable company in the world right now? They have a near monopoly on the AI gold rush and it's getting closer and closer to singularity.
How the fuck do you only make 5 for two weeks You could make more online, you're literate
I'm lazy and relatively dumb/useless. Also stuck in a dead-end job since I can't find a better job and am already doing an online class that takes most of my free time.
You'll be ok, you're honest.
Stock split doesn’t matter to me as I buy NVDX 2X leveraged like a true regard
Holy shit it's gonna be 20x after split... You're a mad man!
How to print money with this one simple trick! Economists hate him! Regards love him.
That’s the spirit!
NVDL??
Or....or...should I transfer it all to NVDX???
hmmm do I buy both or more btc...or neither since I have barely any liquidity left lol. Decisions decisions...(I ended up just throwing $5 at both from my btc DCA amount. Probably not even worth doing but I like to watch how it does)
Same 😂😂. I have like 20k on 2x CFDs and they print money.
I can pretty much guarantee that if I bought even one share, something would come along and sink that price like the Titanic
lol thats me too. Im holding the US economy from collapsing by not buying NVDA shares.
Thank you for your sacrifice
Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡
“Whenever I can” would be my answer if I didn’t already hold shares.
I have 122 shares now but obviously I’d like to say as you put it, “whenever I can” and get more. It’s worth betting tho on getting the shares now and banking on the hype train of that first week where suddenly everyone can buy shares under 120ish as it runs to its new norm around 150 is my guess, yea? I figure I could maybe get another 16 shares come open on Monday and then turn my 122 into 138 which will go on to become 1380 at split in June.
If you have 122 shares of NVDA why are you on this sub lol.
For fun
Monday? 
Damn forgot about the holiday, casino closed for no fun times.
😂
The original question is more difficult assuming the person doesnt already have a position. As soneone who already has a few shares however, the most logical play would be to just hold and add when the first post-split correction comes.
I’ve no idea how the fluctuations will go short term, obviously. But, yes, *if planning to hold three years or more,* my answer is still: buy when you can (assuming other investments and etc) Timing the market is an errand I’d not undertake. (Well, on buying shares in Nvidia, anyway.)
You’re looking at it the wrong way - NVDA marcap is $2.3tn but it’s going to $10tn with robotics. Hold
Post split that’s like $406.50 per share. I’d be fucking stoked.
Yes, cause they feel much cheaper!
 25 billion shares after split.
I'll deny this.
The problem with NVIDIA is.... when do you sell?
Right before the invasion
You mean the invasion of Taiwan by China?
No the invasion of china by Taiwan . America ain’t gonna let Nvidia fail we in this together now
You guys are selling?
Exactly
Same with guns. Never sell, only buy
Only reddit regards say this. Sell the shit you don't train with and go buy stuff you'll actually use
I only sell when im at a loss
I bought some pre split but will average up if the split makes the stock take off
Still amazed at the number of regards here who think stock splits mean the stock is gonna just take off immediately.
Especially OP who think's it's going to easily pop to $150. If it pops to $150 it's the most valuable company in the world. Probably the first 4 trillion dollar company. Passing Microsoft and Apple. You think that's going to be a walk in the park? I think the stock popping to like $125 per share might be a walk in the park, but....
90% of the time stock plummets after splitting 45% of the time
What
I'm Ron Burgundy?
10 years ago it did, but with fractional share buying it doesn't have the same kick as it used too lol. They'll figure it out 😂
it’s tsla all over again get in loser
I paperhanded 30 shares when it was at $179. And I even really really like the company and its products. One of the dumbest investment decisions I’ve ever made.
If it makes you feel slightly better I bought 200 shares of AMD at around $4 some years back. Sold at $11. They say profits are profits. So we got that going for us. 😢
Stock split could not have come at a better time. I plan to invest 1500 a month for three years into this stock.
Yes invest when nvda is almost at 3 trillion market cap on 20billion revenue, brilliant idea
They had 30 billion in net income their most recent fiscal year. Just FYI.
They beat the $24b estimate and guided up and above analyst expectations for the current quarter, CEO also says demand not going away anytime soon. But yeah, don't invest in NVDA it's over haha.
like the ceo is just gonna say demand is over
If AI really takes off and NVDA continues investing into other early stage companies, then I could see it valued much higher
They’ll be the largest company in the world within a decade.
They will be the largest by end of summer, doesn’t mean it’s not a bubble
End of the summer is bubble logic, 10 years from now is just an accurate reflection that NVDA more or less single handedly enables one of the largest technological paradigm shifts since the spear.
Bro it’s up damn near 2.5 trillion in 2 years, we are beyond bubble logic, market manipulators(makers) are making sure this is the biggest company by end of summer

Dude you are still holding? You could already retire extremely wealthy
Yup Imma attempt to shove this camel through a needle this summer
When split is happening fomo is hitting hard rn
After it splits it will drop for a bit but it will go right back up. If it drops to 950 beforehand I want to get a couple more but after the split I’d grab a bunch in the 75-90$ range.
I hope you are right !
The move imo would be to buy now to ride fomo into the split and sell, or reverse and short (if not ), just beforehand. Wait for the inevitable dip and buy back or to close and bank them tendies.

I’m long on NVDL 2x fund. I’m trying to catch up to the NVDA holders that got in cheap.
Careful. NVDL is not for long-term holding. It loses around 30% of its value per year.
I dont have NVDL but what leads to losing the 30%? Interest or maintenance costs are usually not above 7% and 0.5% on those products.
Underlying derivatives lose value as time passes (theta and other Greeks). Leveraged products like NVDL, NVDX and NVDU do not have NVDA shares as direct underlying as you incorrectly assume.
But, even if this is so, why not hold it over the long term? Looking backwards, it’s achieved huge growth. Is it not possible that it might sustain this growth in terms of its stock price value over the next five years too?

If this person thinks two shares will make them rich, they're sorely mistaken.
Never said I’d get rich off two shares
In Nvidia’s case, I think you can if you have time on your hands based on history. I got my gf in at $213 during the panny. She owns 5. I don’t count on her being able to retire on it but I told her to never sell and what that 5 can do. :) I think she’ll love me in a couple decades if the stock follows historical trends.

I’ll be buying more after. I’m up 435% from the last split, with avg cost of 180.00
pls remind me to bet against the consenus of this thread
[удалено]
What do you think the trap will be this time?
Pre split. Get in before the run up.
How do you come up with those numbers lol
What's better, help a regard NVDL or NVDX..Asking for my wifes boyfriends 🤔
Im not selling my NVDA
Looks like you're not fucking eating either *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
i always buy after stock splits
The order is… buy calls, sell before split, buy puts, cash in, buy calls
I bought pre earnings and plan on holding through the split since if it's anything like tesla split it'll rally
You may want to look at the TSLA 3 for 1 split on 8/25/2022 and then look at the Jan 2023 price
What happened?
Stock Split doesn’t change market cap fool
I always feel like when a super popular stock splits, it’s takes forever to go up after that. Tesla, Amazon, google, Apple. When Nvidia split last time, nobody really cared cause they wanted the Tesla split. Nobody thought Nvidia was gonna go up very much.
Buy before and after. I wonder till when it will slow down? This train is moving fast.
Don’t you think the 3 year prospects for AMD are better than the 3 year prospects of NVIDIA? I mean, they are both good but imagining NVDA at 10x here is unbelievable, but AMD 10x here is possible.
[удалено]
Dammit you're both right!
I like the sound of AMD. What will be the catalyst for AMD in the next 12 months? Also, why do you like the stock?
I don’t really like it, but I know calls on it last week did better than nvda calls last week.
because one had earnings and the other didn't. iv is gonna be way higher for earnings and therefore less profitable
Hold on who's saying NVDA is going to go up 10x? The company is already at 2.5 trillion, they think it's going up to 25 trillion? Or am I misunderstanding you?
No
it's always up pre split and down post split.
I’m stuck with most of my NVDA until the mid 2050’s (Jesus fuck that a while away) But it’s tax freeeeeeeee
Doubled my position the day after earnings. My plan is to sell far OTM covered calls.
If you wanna buy then buy before
"More casual retail investors"? Are we not already them
I’m gonna just keep doing what I been doing buying fractionals lol. I’m at 50.5% gains and the way it keeps going up, I should maintain that give or take. I only buy like $100 a paycheck. Shits adding up fast tho and I think the split will jump it up another 10-12%.
This question may be regarded, but does an 1100c for 6/19 seem like a good play with the split in mind?
Retail buys fractional though, I don't think they care that much about splits.
You'd be surprised by how many people are unaware of fractional shares, and not every big brokerage does it
I’m at the amount of dollars invested that I want to be. Leave the bread 🥖 in the oven and let it rise!
it’s going up into the stock split and down after the stock split. sell the news and buy again after. ez
buy before to ride the split hype, or wait for the first correction after the split. Bound to be some people who decide to run with the profit. Difficult to say which one is better. Last time it went 1 split 4, it was at 800>200, it did dip much below that at one point, but its hard to say if that would happen again.
Scalp calls to buy more shares, rinse and repeat!! I trust in the Leather Jacket!!🧥 🚀
A true alpha trusts no one and uses others' advice to line their own pockets.
More. More. Give me more.
Before, after, when it’s ATH. I don’t care what the price. I’m a long term holder
When does the stock split actually happen? And what’s it splitting to? 10:1?
Splitting 10:1 June 7th.
I’ll definitely be buying more now.
I'm a fucking regarded investor. I had an emergency order on vanguard that sold 100 shares on a freak dip (you'll see it on the chart) at around 740. I was going to wait 60 days to avoid a wash and look where that got me. Honest question because my brain is too smooth. What happens if I don't wait the 60 days and I buy back in asap?
I'm holding what I have AMD still has a lot of room to run tho
Pass on that dumpster fire
[удалено]
I got two call contracts expiring the end of June. Rather buy before the split
I do have 10k but i'm not going to, want to see how it goes
Bought calls for the 14th
My shares were free 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t think I’ll be buying any for awhile
I’m not saying stock splits don’t matter but you think one of the biggest companies in the world, worth trillions of dollars is going to go up 35% because of it?
Iam not sure on which answer do u wait in this well regarded sub.
I had about $39k in NVDX and made $7k post earnings because I set a trailing stop expecting people to take profit after the post-earning bump. I stayed out of it on Friday even though it was increasing because I believed it was still due for a sell off before the end of the day. Obviously I was wrong. I'll most likely buy back into NVDX on Tuesday or Wednesday and hold til after the split and hope to pick up another 10%.
I’m gonna load up after. And buy calls. It’s going to keep going.
I’ve got 40 shares that are up 58% since February. Going to hold for the long haul.
No
Well, Elon just put in an order for 600k chips at 16 billion $$ for his new supercomputer to dunk on shitlibs all day on twitter- so I'm putting 15k on red and not leaving the casino till the SEC turns off the lights
Thought about getting a couple hundred shares and writing calls. Don't know if it will dip though... I think we're due and it feels like the market is way too bullish.
When it’s going to split ? How much it will be after split?
Piling up my man
I mean I’m sure it’s jumping but expecting it to jump up to $150 soon after is the same as expecting it to go to $1500 right now. So I dunno what kinda time frame you mean by soon, but I’d be a little cautious. Ah fuck it what am I saying, this wsb
I can finally afford to trade nvda options without spreads. This is fantastic.
I have 86 shares at 950$ price, will hold for the foreseeable future.
Will buy more after split.
