Misc Stock Market

Local business roundtable this morning was a bit sobering. We have a couple facilities in this area that repackage/fill various household supplies from cleaning products to small appliance consumables. They both are looking at reduced working hours beginning today and not working at all on the weekend. Orders are down to retailers and the some of the consumables are in short supply or outright unavailable due to tariffs. Think plastic containers for chemicals to coffee. There are some domestic sources but the prices are high and they can't meet volume anyway.

There will be (not even a question at this point) a lack of product on store shelves in some areas as we head into Memorial Day weekend. Higher prices will be a given as well. Even if everything went back to normal tomorrow we're still going to get hit with the shortage crunch although not to the scale of Covid times.

In other news, if you're like me and don't appreciate all the noise from fireworks, you may be in luck. Orders normally would be placed right about now for 4th of July sales. There are domestically sourced fireworks for the really big shows but all the crap you buy off I-95 is straight from China. They may very well only have leftovers from NYE available this summer.

We still produce our own eggs, milk, ammo and chewing tobacco. We good.
Let the CCP burn. Lot of unrest spilling out into streets over there. Their govt is hot garbage in more ways than I can count, Trying to rule world on the backs of their citizens and to a lesser degree the backs of working class America.

The issue is that almost everything needed to get those products to the shelves is reliant on trading partners.

Complete melt up...just what the market needed. Negative GDP print to indicate a recession is coming. I'm done asking why...just making money long. MSFT/Qs/SPY all working from yesterday and today is awesome.

I just closed 80% of my longs have had on. Probably the most long I had been all year. But this gap up today is just stupid.

I don't think so but I'm not as optimistic as I once was. I think there's still a hail-mary in there with the defense vertical (new opportunities), technology doesn't seem to be the issue. As I've told RC, I'm riding it off the cliff or to glory....it's just money right 💸

Haha, yep! There is a certain % I have tolerance for, but it's not a lot.

I added some SPY back pre-market with it being red. I also added IWM at 208.50. Also added Google...fairly heavy google at the lows. Its selloff makes no sense. And it's chart looks really good.

SPY/Qs very extended now but I don't see any signs of it slowing down so just riding it.

Can see IWM at a huge pivot/resistance of $209...tough to ignore that.

I don't like it's so disconnected from the moving avg's though. Obviously the time to really add was down at $195-200....but still might push through $209 and try for $215 this week.

True, but we are still about 4% off from Feb highs for spy. The terrif "talk" is what caused the rollover at that point. The hard thing is, were we due for the correction anyway? Valuations were and now again pretty high. Spy tickled bear territory. Small, mid, and Qs were in it for a minute. Does it count if it is only for a minute like that or does the market need a longer term consolidation like in 2022? Everything happens so fast now....

Google looks great...still long from $156'ish. IWM aggravating as always but will see...I set a stop at $207 and not going to get stubborn with it as it moves so fast it both directions.

Stopped out of IWM...a reason I rarely trade small caps...because they suck. I hate losing money when market is so strong. Small Caps are dead to me...
 
Anyone here follow cava? It has earnings AH tomorrow but had some weird price action last week. Tuesday was a boring market day but cava was down over 5% at one point before battling back to about -2.5. It continued to bounce back the rest of the week and has done really well with this week's rally. That mess Tuesday just makes me think insiders know something about earnings that was driving that dip last week.
