We could have been so rich if we could have seen the future. Just buy tons of memory modules at low prices five years ago and sell them now. What a profit.
Its not like memory tech has changed so much either.
If you could see the future, buying nvda a few years ago would have done the trick.
I would just feel like such a piece of shit scalping though.
