INTC with just god awful earnings...yikes
Yup, market thinks they are going to pivot and that's not the case. He's going the Volcker route. Insane consumer inflation expectations are so low already. And people are buying homes again. clown world lolPowell is not going down as Arthur Burns. He believes that if they hit a crisis because they have raised rates too much they can respond as they did with Covid. There is no "pivot" in this man.
AMD meh . Flat double beat with shrinking margins . Will be interesting to see if this small move AH holds
Data Center was great, but pc was very bad as expected. Lisa said she expects a recovery 2nd half in that space. 16% yoy growth with a very tough comp is solid. It's still my biggest individual holding from now low $60's avg.

Yeah my puts are toast . Expire next Friday but still wrecked . My only hope is a Hawkish Powell today to send the market to hell

Powell doesn’t want the stock market up so I expect fairly hawkish Q/A. But, they are going to be nearing 5% ffr and they need to pause.No way Powell is Dovish today. Especially after the jolts report.
Problem is market knows they are close to the end of hikes and market will take off once it's confirmed. But Jay doesn't want market higher.Didn't expect Powell to be this hawkish. wow...
Must not be too hawkish. Stocks are green on the day.Didn't expect Powell to be this hawkish. wow...
Sorry was just asking a question. I believe it has not cooled either. I agree with you about the cpi report. Gas prices have jumped, I did noticeHow has it cooled ? CPI report will be HOt next month . Gas and oil up 15 percent last month

It's below 2% if you annualize it from June/JulyHow has it cooled ? CPI report will be HOt next month . Gas and oil up 15 percent last month

Oil still down 11% yoy though. I think we continue to see softer CPI next few months. Wages/jobs are I think going to be the problem. Jay wants balance and it hasn’t come yet.How has it cooled ? CPI report will be HOt next month . Gas and oil up 15 percent last month

Companies are buying back probably from the money saved from layoffs. There's no external liquidity, markets are trying to go back to fundamentals. There was a rally before the fall in 2008 I believe.This is getting just slightly absurd... there was many positioned short tech to start the year thinking this was going to be a multi-year blood bath like 2000-2002 so shorts are unwinding now. And maybe this is just a short term rally but we shall see.

Zuckerberg and Intel are shipping the proceeds from their layoffs straight to Wall Street
Wall Street long groused about cash-generating tech companies refusing to pay dividends and buy back stock. That is no longer a problem, in multiple respects.www.marketwatch.com
It's coming though. It's slower than 2008. Reason you are not seeing it in the weekly unemployment is because most of the layoffs in tech have severance packages so not many are claiming government benefits. JOLTS job openings for information actually got cut in half from the highs. I also remember it was Lehman Bro's that was the catalyst for the rapid decline in 2008 too. Your seeing companies cut costs and have more slim margins along with US consumer savings rate depressed still. Layoffs will not slow down.Problem is we saw the unemploy rate rate spike and you had big financial institutions failing in 2008. We have nothing like that.
Last month was the worst January for job cuts since the Great Recession in 2009, according to a report from employment firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
