The Daily Money
 
Wednesday, September 29

Good morning, Daily Money friends, it's Nathan here with you again this Wednesday!

🚗 More than a century ago, the founder of Rolls-Royce, Charles Rolls, sang the praises of electric vehicles.

But Rolls-Royce, of course, eventually became a maker of luxury gas-powered vehicles, such as the $406,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith with its 6.6-liter, twin-supercharged, 12-cylinder engine.

No more. This morning I reported that Rolls-Royce is going electric.

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Investing is not a game. It's real life. Which is why the alleged "gamification" of stock trading via apps like Robinhood has caught the attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Brett Molina reports on this trend, quoting an expert who says apps that use gamification tap into chemicals in the brain that allow us to experience pleasure.

📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. It's National Coffee Day: You can get free coffee today at Starbucks, Dunkin', Panera, Krispy Kreme and elsewhere. But make sure to check Kelly Tyko's roundup for details.

2. Ready for an Amazon robot in your house? Meet the task-performing Astro.

3. "Deal Days" are back at Target: Just in time for the holiday shopping season.

4. The U.S. border is poised to reopen in "early November" to vaccinated international travelers: But some are starting to get frustrated at the lack of specificity on the date.

5. Still hanging onto that credit card with an annual fee for the rewards? These perks might not be worth paying for.

💳 Excuse me while I go digging in my wallet to figure out whether I've been getting ripped off.
