[SINGAPORE] When news broke of former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang being ensnared in an alleged honey trap espionage, retail investor Asiya Bakht was quick to snap up shares in the world’s biggest chip company.

“Nvidia shares had already been on a steep decline even before news of Huang’s resignation broke, so I was monitoring it closely… When the price dipped further following the announcement, I picked up a few more,” said the 52-year-old.

Her current Nvidia holding is already worth five figures, and she plans to plough more into the stock, having picked up shares throughout the week.

“I feel this temporary dip could be a major opportunity for investors like me,” said the founder of public relations company Beets PR.

She is among a wave of Singapore-based retail investors who rushed into Nvidia amid the sell-off on Thursday (Nov 12) night, betting that the company’s long-term growth prospects would outweigh the uncertainty surrounding its chief executive.

Trading activity surged in several brokerage platforms when US markets opened overnight, with investors largely buying the dip or holding on to their existing positions.
