"“I mean... he was always recommending gold. I didn’t think much of that. Anyone can buy gold. But why would you buy gold when you could own a super-profitable company like Nvidia?"

Bill ~ Just for fun, consider sending this post to the young lady along with a one month trial subscription to BPR.... But wait until the day after Nvidia takes a major dump ! Such a rare encounter had to make your day !
