You know that friend who's been quietly grinding away at something while everyone else is chasing the shiny new thing? That's basically Teradyne right now, and last week they decided to flex a little. The semiconductor test equipment company just posted a 19% single-day rally that had Wall Street doing double-takes.

Pearl Homes, a luxury developer that clearly has their finger on the pulse of what rich people want, just announced they're accepting crypto payments at their new Gulf Coast development. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and "most major cryptocurrencies" are now welcome ...
