GameStop Corp. (GME), Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): Today’s 3 Best Stocks

It’s a bit difficult to decipher why Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION) jumped, given that there’s no company-specific news out today, but it very well could have to do with the fact that it ignores high-risk, high-reward derivatives and sticks to the “boring” aspects of deposit and loan growth. Although its loan growth could suffer if lending rates rise, it’ll receive higher yields on its deposited money, and could see a rapid uptick in deposits.
