Wow. Stocks, crypto, and the dollar all way, way up premarket.

Looking at news. Huh - nothing. Just one of those days, I guess.

But Warren Buffet was selling and holding cash!
I can't even fathom how much $$ he's not going to make today.

Why do you think Buffets decision was wrong? He very well could end up right.

I mean, once you have 300B, just take your ball and go home.

 

[McBokonon]

Well, that’s over. Let’s talk rate cuts! Eye on the ball, people!

 

[Sand]

Much less likely. Rates are spiking now and the Fed follows the market.

The move tomorrow is still priced in but December cut has fallen from 80% to 67% since yesterday.

Feels like a day I'm going to be buying more medium-long duration bond ETFs

Banks are going nuts today.

Utilities, Staples, Pharma, Retail getting hammered.

Weird day.

Yields flying up.

A correction is absolutely in the cards between now and February. Some recalibration is forthcoming and some volatility no doubt.

 

[Nugget]

I took a large (for me) bet on TMF this morning. I don't llike long term inflation prospects, but I don't think the 10 year is going to stay at 4.5% over the next 6 months.

10 year at 4.45% and stocks riping. Strange day and not sustainable.

While, most of my stocks are flying, there are plenty that are interest rate sensitive getting hammered
Utilities, NEE -6%
REIT, O -4%
Pharma, PFE -2% (this stock sucks though)
Home stuff, HD - 3%

I'm not complaining though, as I have some high flyers as well.
And, NHCL which I've owned pre-pandemic is just a whisper away from my cost basis. Oh, that will be a great stock to flush down the toilet without taking a loss.

That’s what caught my eye. I’m with todem. I see a correction coming because some of this is just odd. They are saying inflation will be coming (which as with tariffs) and rates are up and you’d think that would be awful for small caps. Seeing TSLA up 12% because Musk endorsed Trump is interesting as well.

[stbugs]

Been a very nice 4 days for me since Amazon reported Thursday night. Did have to sell 80 shares of Amazon and some small holdings yesterday (tax harvesting some losses to cancel out the gains), so I lost a few hundred, but sometimes you gotta pay some for stuff and it takes a couple days to clear.

I don't have the stomach for 3x, but most of my twice a month 401K and Roth 401K buys today were in EDV/GOVZ (which act like 1.5x TLT), just because I use the purchases to move things back towards my desired allocation.

I miss the CYDY days, so nibbled this along with you. Just enough to pay attention to.

Bought more IEF and JAAA this morning. Yes, wild and crazy moves here.

That’s what caught my eye. I’m with todem. I see a correction coming because some of this is just odd. They are saying inflation will be coming (which as with tariffs) and rates are up and you’d think that would be awful for small caps. Seeing TSLA up 12% because Musk endorsed Trump is interesting as well.

I trade TSLA a lot and have had a lot of success with it. TSLA right now is funny because the stock spiked a while ago based off of the talk during an earnings call about the more affordable Model 2 coming soon. Then a news report came out that internally they weren't actually working on or planning a Model 2, and the price dipped hard. Musk then said the report was fake news, and the stock bounced most of the way back.

That was just a few months ago. Now he (smartly, I guess) said right in the midst of all of this election stuff that making a $25k car (IE Model 2) would be dumb and of course they're not going to do it. But it's just kind of gotten lost in the shuffle amongst all the other stuff right now.

I think on its own that statement would have tanked the stock pretty hard, but they slipped it in while people's attention was elsewhere. I wonder if a correction on that will come in a few weeks when the election stuff dies down.

 

[Todem]

To me building cash is the smart and prudent play here. It's been an awesome year. We are due for a real breather. Stay long as always....but build cash if you can and trim some profits. We already did that.

 

[Peggy]

I get why international is down, for obvious reasons we can't say. But why REITs?

 

[Todem]

Interest Rates flying up is why. Interest rate sensitive stocks getting it on the chin today....except Small Caps. Which is odd.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I get why international is down, for obvious reasons we can't say. But why REITs?

REITs ran up a bit on the narrative that cuts were going to continue and people were gonig to move their HYSA money back into high dividend stocks like REITs. Now that the likelihood of rate cuts is decreasing that move is getting unwound a bit, as people may be able to earn a similar yield in savings accounts for longer than was initially anticipated.

 

[Bossman]

I'm guessing that any of your losers today are more than offset by your shares of CVS and PANW.

 

[-OZ-]

How you doin’ AVUV (and other small cap value?)

And My PLTR might reach 200% increase since May.

 

[Buckna]

Lots of yield based stocks, except banks (who make more money when rates go up), are getting hammered today. UWMC down quite a bit with the expectation of inflation and high rates will continue anew which will likely hurt housing market volume.

Not surprised to see RIVN down, I'm sure all EV and green energy stocks are hurting today (I don't include TSLA in that bucket given Elon.)

Most of my bigger positions are flat like an APPL or just barely up 1 or 2% like an AMZN.

Yeah this is a head fake rally. A non event for me. Let's be happy about the year we have had.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Anyone know of a broker that has borrows available for DJT? Nothing political regarding the person, just with it being essentially flat since yesterday it seems likely that the run-up was people speculating that it would moon if he won the election, and with it not doing that I think people will start hitting the exit pretty hard (IE classic sell the news).

Puts are outrageously priced.

 

[SFBayDuck]

Yup, all but TSLA (for obvious reasons) that touches renewables or green energy getting hammered. Our old friend BLDP looks to be on it's way to zero.

This is a tragedy. Their IP is amazing.

At this point we could see a huge shift to liquid Hydrogen in the future. It’s not dead yet.

But this was a stinker. Hey no one bats .1000

 

[BassNBrew]

Anything to see here?

Solar stocks sold off Wednesday after Donald Trump secured a second trip to the White House and Republicans won control of the Senate, amid fears the Inflation Reduction Act, which helps fund clean energy manufacturing in the U.S., will be repealed.

The benchmark Invesco Solar ETF was down more than 12% in morning trading, while the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF was down nearly 8%.

Solar panel manufacturer First Solar tumbled about 12%. Residential solar stocks Sunrun and Sunnova fell nearly 25% and 40%, respectively.

Inverter manufacturers Enphase and SolarEdge tumbled about 14% and about 17%, respectively. Sun tracker manufacturers Nextracker and Array were down about 10% and 18%, respectively.

Right there with you. Anything up over 5% today was trimmed and any dogs up over 5% sold off entirely.

 

[Orange&Blue]

thoughts on AXP? Up 7.5%. my cost basis is near 180%.

 

[eighsse2]

Very safe conservative portfolio, yet up 2.6% on the day. Don't see that too often.

I've tried to short DJT since it was in the 60s and 70s a few months ago but Vanguard would not allow it. I never determined if it was a Vanguard thing or a more general regulatory thing. Instead, I ponied up for the puts which made it tough to be worthwhile because of how expensive they were. Curious if anyone knows the scoop here.

I made my AFMJF position 6% bigger than it was. Because I can't reinvest dividends in a pink sheet, it raised my cost basis a penny. Doooooon't caaaaare

Well, you can't get a borrow on it for one. You're not supposed to naked short, though I suppose some brokerages allow retail clients to do it if it's not a massive share quantity.

And if you WERE able to locate a borrow, you'd pay through the nose to short it as the cost to carry is sky high.
