Derek Moore is back to break down Nvidia’s beat, but not beat (whisper number), their growth year over year, their profit margins, and percent they beat on the top and bottom line. Then, looking at the implied volatility and expected move post earnings in Nvidia and how to calculate it. Understanding why sometimes a long straddle option position before earnings makes money and other times it doesn’t. Later, peeking in at the implied Fed Funds rate cut probabilities for the September meeting. Finally, “everyone” seems to be saying its time to buy longer maturity bonds. Is that view getting crowded and why will or won’t long rates move lower because the Fed lowers the Fed Funds rate.
