For the week, Nvidia's market value declined by $550 billion. The selling pressure on Nvidia shares was initially driven by questions about Huang's relationship with a woman alleged to be a spy for Beijing. However, retail investors bought the dip, a strategy favored by investors since 2009. At Fidelity Investments, customers placed 394,818 buy orders for Nvidia by noon ET, compared with 80,088 sell orders. These buy orders for Nvidia more than doubled the combined buy orders on Thursday for the nine other most-traded stocks on the platform. ## Disagreement on share price drop Berlingske.dk and BT reported that Nvidia shares fell 4.3 percent on the New York Stock Exchange on the day CEO Jensen Huang resigned.
