NVIDIA Reported after the bell this morning All eyes were on $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ that reported quarterly results after the close of the US market today.

Nvidia shares slipped 1.5% in afterhours trading having closed down 0.8% a

Cult of personality – the trader vs the investorBy Greg BolandAre you a trader or an investor? A trader sounds a little more rebellious and given the short term, higher risk nature of their investment behaviour they usually are.An investor on the other hand is more focussed on long-term prospects.If new research from Finder is anything to go by then New Zealand is a nation of investors.
