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.

Frosty, too? If the after hours trend holds up, I can do it.

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.

Sold out my QQQs too early but still got nearly $8,000 on a $1,620 investment for a day

Yeah, now I'm only down 30 percent on MRNA. But I was still really happy about the gain and I'm confident that it'll come back. At one point I was up 100% on it before it plummeted, so I'm ready for the next plague.

Man oh man, I was rolling triple 7s on everything today. NVDA, MRNA, AMD, RCL, ANF, and the list goes on. Unless some dead-cat bounce day right after the 2020 shutdown beat it, I'm pretty sure this was my best investing day ever in terms of raw dollar gains.

Y'know, after a day like today, I didn't even ask the price. I just handed them my credit card and said, "I don't need a receipt".

Wow. NVDA up $110 today. What tf is happening? Lol.

Now I see what y’all are talking about. Would love to have gotten in on that at the ground floor.
