Differences between Investing vs Trading
NVIDIA is a publicly-traded company with shares that trade on the US100 Stock Market under the ticker symbol NVDA. The company was founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang and Chris Malachowsky, who were both former employees of semiconductor manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). NVIDIA went public in 1999 and has since grown to become one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world.
As of 2020, the company had a market capitalization of over $250 billion. NVIDIA's products are used in a variety of markets, including gaming, professional visualization, data centre, and automotive. The company has also been involved in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning.
In the past, NVIDIA's share price has been affected by various factors such as competitor products, economic conditions, and company scandals. The highest price ever reached by NVIDIA's stock was $288.00 in October of 2018. The lowest price was $108.25 in March of 2020.
Looking at the current share price, it is evident that NVIDIA is still a strong company despite some recent setbacks. It will be interesting to see how the stock performs in the future as the company continues to innovate and grow.
Nvidia has four main competitors in its core businesses: AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, and Xilinx. It's primary GPU product line, labeled "GeForce", is in direct competition with Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD) "Radeon" products. Nvidia also competes with Intel in the professional market for video cards, called "Quadro".
When you trade NVDA CFDs, you don't own any part of the company. You're simply speculating on the price movement of the stock. You can go long or short on your position, meaning you can profit from both rising and falling prices. CFD trading is also leveraged, meaning you only need to put down a small deposit to open a larger trade. This can amplify your profits but also your losses, so it's important to trade responsibly.
Investing in NVDA shares entitles you to certain rights as a shareholder. For example, you're entitled to vote at shareholders' meetings and receive dividends if the company declares them. When you trade CFDs on NVDA, you don't have any of these rights.
