Nvidia "Advancing at Light Speed"

While the CEO of Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) declared in the company’s impressive financial results on Wednesday that “AI is advancing at light speed,” the stock still fell 1.49% in after-hours trading.

Financials: In the past quarter, Nvidia reported earnings of 89 cents per share and revenue of $39.3 billion, which were better than expected.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Several concerns worry Nvidia investors, including the growing impact of DeepSeek, some clients potentially reducing spending, increased competition, and margin pressure.

Final Thoughts: Believe it or not, the stock is up less than 4% in the last 6 months.

This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies

Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.

That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.

Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.

We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
