Any thoughts about if they raise interest rates again and the effect on the market?
I think everyone knows they’re going to raise rates by .50 again so that’s likely already baked in. Any short term market reaction will be based on whatever hints they give for the future. Just my opinion (an opinion which turns out to be 🤷‍♂️ )

I'm uncertain on what to expect from the market after what I believe to be three likely senarios:

1. Fed raises rates .50 on June 15 and says that inflation is declining and only 1 more month of .50 may be needed.

2. Fed raises rates .50 on June 15 and says that inflation is declining and July may only need a raise of .25.

3. Fed raises rated .50 on June15 with inflation increasing between 0.6 and 1.2% month over month and says they may need to raise .75 in the coming months. 

How do you think the market would behave in these 3 scenarios?

 
With this run in Energy this year, thinking of locking in some profits and spreading some of that around a bit.  MRO, OXY, XOM, PEO, EXC, CEG are all up 98%-145% since I bought them.  (trimmed OKE once and not doing that again, even up 170%).  Or is energy just going to keep running from here with the EU ban on most of Russia's oil?
I hold a couple of those. Also have stuff like HAL, BTU, CEIX, BPT, SJT. With exception to the BPT and SJT most all of this particular portfolio was bought back in April and May of 2020. I recently took some profits from HAL and MRO and am free rolling those positions now. 

Don't know your situation, but if you feel like making some loot, sell some. Profit is good

As for the future, here's my outlook:

First, the Russia/Ukraine conflict could end peacefully right now and it won't make a difference with regard getting more supply on the world market. The sanctions will take time to unwind and who knows what the overall status of the Russian oil industry is.

Second, we have a mid-term election coming. I don't pay attention to the daily happenings in politics. But the polls right now tend toward republican control of the house. No idea what's going on with the other chamber (Don't care). This is just speculation on my part, got to make that clear.

The run up to the election will have a bunch of people promising to lower your gas, heating, electric and grocery prices. They win. After the election, more money flows into the tickers we've listed because a lot people only see the short term. Then reality sets in.

The next session of Congress doesn't start until next January. So the promiser's have to wait a couple months to get seated and voting on energy legislation. Then, even if they get something passed, it has to go to the upper chamber, go into conference, then get passed, and then get signed into law. (Lot of road blocks in that last sentence) Then the companies have to figure out if it's worth the money to do. So.....no action till this time next year at the soonest. Just humble speculation and my :2cents:

TL/DR

Everything sucks and will continue to suck. The end of a war followed by a mid-term election will mean nothing. Supply will not change for a long time. I plan to keep what I have and take advantage of scarcity and fear. 

:banned:

 
I've been taking profits on my oil stocks a little bit every week or two.  I'm down to about 30% of my original holdings.  Holding onto those feels a lot like holding all that tech growth stuff I held through covid without taking nearly enough profits.

@drunken slob makes some good points, but the problem is the stock market is forward looking, so it's very possible that oil stock prices could drop steeply with the end of the war or other supply boosts even if that won't actually affect those company's returns for a few quarters.

 
That's not to mention some of these oil companies have P/E ratios in the high teens when they are literally anti-growth companies.  Their profits are so high because they've decided to forego any investment into their future growth due to worries about future demand for oil.

Oil isn't going to drop steeply any time soon, IMO

Shanghai, China is starting to open. With China being the point of the Asian supply chain that goes to Vietnam and other westward countries, more demand will occur to ship their products abroad. More diesel will be needed. Therefore, more oil will be in demand and the refineries along with the down stream shippers will be under pressure. 

@FreeBaGeL, thanks for the reply

I agree with this.  Oil prices and consequently gas prices are most likely going to stay high for a while. As you mentioned—China is about to open up soon.  You also have summer peak travel season for the USA.  The oil that Europe got from Russia is not going to be easily and cheaply replaceable. Lastly—(and this is probably more for the gasoline/diesel side of things—more than unrefined oil)—but we are literally one hurricane away in the gulf from hitting $9-10/gallon gas.

The bolded would have been considered outlandish just a year ago.

Yet, here we are

The videogame retailer (GameStop)

reported an adjusted net loss of $157.9 million, or $2.08 per share. Analysts polled by FactSet had anticipated a loss of $1.45 a share. Sales of $1.38 billion came in a tick ahead of estimates for $1.34 billion.

GameStop (ticker: GME) stock initially fell 2.8% following the release, before rising 3.5% at 4:29 p.m., a fairly typical response to earnings reports that have included wild swings. The stock was up 0.5% shortly after the company’s earnings call. In premarket trading Thursday, the stock was up 0.3% to $121.971.

The 5 p.m. ET earnings call lasted less than 10 minutes. The call’s operator said a brief question-and-answer session would follow CEO Matt Furlong’s remarks, but he corrected that statement since no such session was planned. The company hasn’t taken questions from analysts since its shares exploded in January 2021.


Lol at the call lasting less than 10 minutes.

@David Dodds PM me how you want your payment.

 
The riddle I posted above decodes to MOASS and is signed by an abbreviation of Ryan Cohen's name. But putting the tinfoil hat aside, GameStop is a Gamma Squeeze ready to happen (If the price hits $150/share, the stock will not likely be able to be contained). And I don't think this is by accident. Ryan Cohen has been targeting June 17th for a bit of time now.

Next up is the annual meeting which happens in less than an hour (11am ET). The board has asked the shareholders to vote for authority to increase shares to 1 Billion. It looks to pass, but many brokers did not allow their shares to be voted (loaned out shares and this crushes shorts). This is a two-fold strategy if the authorization passes.

1. GameStop will be doing a share dividend (each share becomes more shares)

2. The company will retain shares to fend off any hostile actors trying to wrestle control.

A lot more is planned (NFT marketplace launch, GameStop Wallet launching in Apple marketplace, Wallet adding crypto trading, etc).

Additionally, Ryan Cohen has been briefed about the Dodds/BassNBrew bet and he has assured me that he won't let the foot off the gas pedal.

I will leave it here for now. The next two weeks are about to get crazy. Good luck everyone with their investments.

The beauty of conspiracy theories, whether they be all of the GME conspiracies, pizzagate, Q-Anon, or end-of-world doomsayer scenarios, is that someone bad behind the scenes in the shadows probably ruined this date, but there's always the next date with the next big event.


He’ll be back with the next milestone date soon, just be patient.


I’m taking June 7th off of work to watch the fireworks. 

And then I’m taking off whatever the next date is.


Ah, there it is.

Ryan Cohen has been targeting June 17th for a bit of time now.

 
Ah, there it is.


Cool story bro. I will help you out. I hype every date, because I am invested in a winner. Can't Stop. Won't Stop.

Down days are discounts.

Up days are expected.

No conspiracy. Just a great stock turnaround story that I am thrilled to be part of.

 
Well, seems like all my hammered stocks have been doing great earnings wise. CRWD isn’t up AHs but the did well. I think they have had a nice rally so maybe not going much higher. OKTA had great results, almost identical to CRWD but a much cheaper stock, so it’s up 15% or so AH. MDB blew out and was up big today and CRM before that as well as ZS and others. A few guidance issues but most had great quarters again and solid guidance.

Generally dilution doesn't increase the stock price.  But given this is GameStop, I'm trying my new investing approach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y_6fZGSOQI and adding some more shares.  Rather than investing in companies with solid earnings and good business plans, I'm doing the opposite.

 
I need to figure this out. I do have a lot of AMZN. What’s your suggested process assuming a price around $120 or whatever it will be on Monday?
I'm surely a novice compared to others here but my general strategy is to find a price and date that is worth my while to make the trade but won't actually trigger.  Does that make sense?

From Article:

But after the year-to-date decline, Lee now sees an attractive risk/reward profile in the Nasdaq 100 and its associated mega-cap tech stocks, according to the note.

"Many investors say they are waiting for stocks to crash to absolute rock bottom levels before considering equities. The Nasdaq 100 is already there," he said.

In fact, the Nasdaq's price-to-earnings ratio today is lower now than it was at the depths of its dot-com unwind, when the Nasdaq 100 declined by nearly 80% from its 2000 peak, he added.

"Nasdaq 100 is cheaper today than at the absolute 70-year low of 2003. Yup, markets crashed worse than dot-com," Lee said.

This dynamic means tech stocks are likely to stage a considerable bounce before the rest of the market does, according to the note, and the Nasdaq's recent relative outperformance relative to the S&P 500 over the past week corroborates that view.

Thoughts?

I agree. There are some quality growing tech companies that have gotten really cheap. There are ones that might not make it back but they all got hit hard even the good ones that in 5-10 years you’ll wish you bought more. 

 
To keep it real simple, Roth, 100% S&P 500 Tracking fund.   

His checks probably aren't big enough to take any real advantage of the tax deduction of a Traditional.  Funds may be sitting there for 50 years.  Pay that small tax now and be done.  A small cap/Russell tracking fund might get him a little extra aggressive growth boost if you were to split out 20-30% to that.  Can never go wrong with just an S&P 500 over a 40-50 year span though.  
Took this advice today and made his change. Thanks to you and everyone else who responded.
