Good pop to start. 
 

That’s a lot of shares of Amazon to look at now.

Well, the market rally is fading. I did have to take a double take because I was transferring some shares around and the original 10 share count was in the new account but the 190 extra shares received stayed in the old account. I think I have to wait until it settles and then I can move the rest. I must have moved them after the official record. Oh well.

 
Looks like a red day due to Target’s guidance, which is that they want to reduce  inventory. It made me think back to the few minute GME earnings call. Here’s a snippet from an article:

GameStop ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $1,035 million, restricted cash of $33.3 million and stockholders’ equity of $1,450.7 million. Inventory was $917.6 million at the end of the reported quarter compared with $570.9 million at the close of the prior year. The company is maintaining high inventory to meet increased customer demand and mitigate supply chain challenges.

It’s interesting that GME’s inventory jumped up huge and they said they want to maintain a high level yet many retailers are warning on revenue growth and tryin to reduce inventory. Makes you wonder if the quick call was to avoid questions on stuff like that. Not good to be hiking inventory if a recession or almost recession is around the corner.

GME hasn’t taken questions for several consecutive quarters. I assume they don’t want to lie and get in trouble and they certainly don’t want to tell the truth.

I was short M on the same premise based on inventory but they guided up and the stock skyrocketed. 

 
Nothing in this market screams buy me now.  My oil/natural gas stocks are keeping my portfolio from a total tank.  Feels like a good time to spend more time at the pool with an ice cold beverage and check back in this fall.

I was just thinking the same thing and coming in to see where people here are putting their money? 

 
Saw this on twitter:

Good thing we plowed all those trillions of dollars into fake meat, digital dog currencies and photo sharing apps instead of infrastructure, healthcare and metals supply

WTI = $120.03 / barrel at the close today

I got back in but out again.  Looking for another reentry point.  Maybe...  Seems crazy to even consider getting back in but no one can get in Big Oil's way, especially when all the attention/blame is deflected to others.

True

I have some GUSH and a good chunk of OKE, but what might have been with some NRGU

 
Not sure what kind of predictions I would make on this info - but a ridiculously under reported issue right now is the shortage (outage) of contrast media.

Facilities are going to covid like case volumes - eliminating or reducing elective procedures.

I would expect some of the bigger med device players to take a hit this quarter.

Can someone tell me what the downside of just piling money in this stock at all time lows and with a 10% dividend? The housing market is insane, this seems like a way to get a piece. 

Bankruptcy? But if Chad feels this is the best of the best, less likely?

I've read Matt Ishiba owns like 70% of the stock which earns dividends too, so he has no incentive for the price to go up.

I think the housing market is a sell.  If there were "wanted!" posters for inflation housing prices would be on it.  The Fed isn't going to come out and announce that they have like Terminator like determination in taking it out but they have to. 

I went short back in the beginning of April and they (REK) more than doubled from $0.49 to current ask/call $1.05/$1.20.    

Considering buying more but don't like averaging up. Will need to get $0.75 or less

Bought 5 more at $0.73.  Will be adding more and possibly soon. 

BTW

Mortgage demand falls to the lowest level in 22 years amid rising rates and slowing home sales

Amazing. I remember it was $65 a share in October 2019 when I looked at it but I bought ZM instead at $67. One of the few really good decisions because I sold almost all of the ZM at $570 because it felt really stretched. DOCU never quite made that run so I probably would have held it too long. Biggest mistakes were not selling a lot more. Oh well, retirement can wait!

 
CPI numbers not looking great.  I guess we'll find out if today's leak got the sell-off outta the way or if it's just getting going again.

 
Same.  Logging off, not going to listen to people cry about it on CNBC either.  Will probably just copy/paste this for next month, and the next month, and the next month...

 
So about a month and a half ago I sold my house and got about 500k in cash stuffed in an edge account.  Takes alot of the edge off just having that sitting there not taking a 3% haircut every day.

 
I was at peace with how bad the market has been, but then you get the last couple days and the emotion comes back into it as the retirement takes another 3% cut and it’s down over 33% since it’s highs.
