True story, decades ago in HS we did the whole stock market competition. As a big gamer, I somehow convinced my team to dump everything into Nvidia.
We were 2nd in the state in Illinois, and I wanted to cement our place and possibly win by selling everything to lock in gains in the final week. The person executing the trade on our team accidentally shorted it and it went up a considerable amount in the last week knocking us down quite a bit.
At that point I seriously considered dumping my savings into Nvidia. I'd be retired right now if I had done so.
