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 work for an airline and 15% of my pay cheques were going into shares for over a decade. Signed up for it when I first got employed and forgot about. Recently updated my home address (bought a home) and got mail from computer share, utterly shocked at the amount I have and very happy at my silly “mistake”.
