Forward PE is 35.

VDA's P/E Ratio is greater than 96% of other companies in the Semiconductors industry. This typically means that investors are willing to pay more for its level of earnings relative to future growth.

Do you own NVDA Lewdog ?

I do not, only as a holding in some mutual funds.

I've heard that their earnings may double in this next report. P/E is going to be based on past reports, I think, so that may mean that their P/E will be in the 40s after Wednesday. Just speculating, and that may be why the price is spiking again this year.

If you're a bank, you're typically making some long-term loans. If you pay me a 5 percent rate for 5 years, and then you loan that out to some sucker with a 30-year mortgage at 6 percent or a 10-year car loan at 8 percent, then you're making money.

That said, a JP Morgan CD that I had at 6 percent just called it in. That really sucks. I knew it was callable but didn't know how likely it was to happen. It was a 5.6 percent CD so I was really happy, but in the fine print they can call it and just give me my money back early, and they did that. It's the first time I've had that happen, so unless it starts happening more frequently with other banks I'll be avoiding JP Morgan CDs going forward.

5.6% is really high for a 5-year term, but you’re essentially correct. A bank will use the money you have in a CD and lend it out longer term. My previous bank would buy CDs on the secondary market to make USDA guaranteed loans, but the rates were typically variable limited to the term the CDs were purchased for. You can review a banks net interest margin to see how good a bank is at this.

My 5.6 was actually only a one-year, but they called it after six months. So it wasn't a huge loss, but it worries me a bit about other CDs that I'm holding. If they all start doing that, particularly the ones that are 3+ years, it's going to screw me over.

I may go to Wendy's tomorrow and order something off of the regular menu instead of the $5 meal deal.

I think thats fair and easily reconcilable

For the quarter, GAAP earnings per diluted share was $4.93, up 33% from the previous quarter and up 765% from a year ago.

The numbers are sort of outrageous. It's like what you hope happens to some microcap company in a new field that you gamble on. Except Nvidia was already a megacorp

I bought (10) QQQ options with a $427 strike expiring tomorrow at $1.62 each knowing NVDA would make the QQQs surge.

So far looking great. QQQ is around $431.25 AH, making my options worth around $5 at the open tomorrow.

Bought them 40 minutes before todays close.

Same.

Okay, I'm going with the triple baconator, large fries, and large frosty, and what the heck, some chicken nuggets on the side. Maybe even one of those little chocolate chip cookies near the register. The Wendy's world is my oyster today.

How much this run you? 5-10 years ago this would have been like $9. I fear today you had to drop a cool Jackson.
