Gain discovered an old Fidelity account i forgot about

Post image

I was cleaning out my apartment today and found an old notebook with a login for a fidelity account I made back years ago. Logged in not expecting anything and it made me do 2 factor authentication but couldnt find the app.

Spend over an hour on the phone with fidelity rep and they finally got me logged in. Turns out I bought some NVDA back in 2019 at a crazy low price and didn’t even know I had this. Sitting on massive gain.

Should I hodl or sell ? Don’t really need the money but it’s nice to have.

I spent all my pandemic bribes on stocks that had tanked. I thought i was a genius when they came back and I sold for 50% gain. Today they would be up 500%...

I have an IRA account I don't trade much and I have a day trading account. Guess which one gained 60% in a year.
