CHWY finally rewarding my patience.

It's been hard though.

 

[dasherHampton]

I wonder how many people sold APLD thinking it was applied materials? I bet more than you think.

lolololol

Novo Nordisk (Ozempic etc.) nearly down 70% from the top:

There's money in chew toys? 😱

I hate Applied Digital. Shorts keep it down and does stupid shirt like this AFTER you sell..

Up 15% today.

 

[dasherHampton]

I screwed up today Felix.

I had some spare cash and bought 1000 WULF at $10. I was up almost $700 at one point. Great profit for a day trade.

WHY DIDN'T I JUST SELL AT THAT POINT? Sometimes I'm a rank idiot.

But I think WULF is fine long term.

Yeah, got approved for some new treatments in the US.

Not much going on with the market recently.

People are waiting for Powell in Jackson's Hole.

Nasdaq is now trending down.

I happen to like the weeks without much going on. It makes for a good opportunity to rebalance. Anything that is out of whack with your plans can be addressed. Just transferring the overperforming stocks (sell high) to underperforming ones (buy low) can net you a giant profit even when the stock averages are flat. When stock markets are changing rapidly, I have bigger fish to fry.

I got screwed too. Bought one 10 call for 1.1 about a month out then the stock drops towards nine. Sold for .83 that day.. Today's bid? .38

Andy lemon Left says short the overpriced stock of Palantir. He wants credit for the obvious.

I forgot to post this here last week:

I am still getting my feet wet in investments.. a bit later than a lot of peeps but I want to at least say thank you for getting me on the right path and knowledge to stick with the major firms like Fidelity/ Vanguard/ Charles Schwab etc rather than trusting some neighborhood investment firm which are actually ponzi schemes.

Some people love to brag about doing things local (like credit unions or banks or whatnot), but you still have to watch out for the locals who want to scam like any other dirtbag and who may not have as easy a history to uncover.

 

[FelixDeCat]

So satisfying to see Palantir crashing. 😅

Thanks to the lemon. 🍋

NASDAQ this week:

Letting a bit of air out of the bubble was definitely needed. I'm waiting to see if it just releases pressure or pops.

I've been selling overvalued large stock funds all year (which are now dominated by the big NASDAQ stocks) and moving them into undervalued foreign stock funds / real estate funds (up about 14% from that rebalance compared to if I just held the large stock funds). I might have to reverse course if there is a bubble pop.

Now Sony is raising the price of the PS5. Nintendo raised the price of the Switch 1 not too long ago and MS raised prices on Series consoles earlier.

Edit: And ooh, Target just fired their CEO. I think what happened is that inflation (and now the tariffs) are pushing people to shop at Walmart instead of Red Walmart.

 

[AdamK47]

Not much in the way of market moving news going on and yet analysts in print and TV are trying to spin it. It's all phycological trading at this point. They know it doesn't matter what they say as it will all be forgotten anyway. These market moves have as much fundamental basis as any cryptocurrency trade has.

The real market moving events will be Powell's ditty in Jackson's Hole on Friday, Nvidia earnings next week, and the FOMC meeting nearly a month from now.

Nvm

Speaking of Fall Mart...it fell on inflation and tariffs

 

[Charmonium]

Any economist would (and probably did) tell you that this would be a direct result of tariffs. Consumer demand shrinks therefore so does the rest of the economy. Inflation, lost jobs, etc. We should have this tune pretty well memorized by now.

If Powell cuts rates tomorrow, that may seem welcome in the short run. If it's just a .25 or .50 cut, I can see things going either way. But something higher is probably going against the odds. It could happen, but let's hope it doesn't.

 

[dullard]

Powell hints at rate cuts. Markets are shooting up. Basically erased the losses all this week leading up to this fed meeting.

As always, the most non-surprising thing in the world happens and the markets are surprised.

It still seems weird that all these stock are going up, despite the employment slowdowns and uncertainty with tariffs (and the collapsing supply chains).

Modern corporations are debt engines so all that Wall Street cares about is cheap money.

 

[AdamK47]

It would seem weird looking at the real world for a brief moment before dipping back into the echo chamber.

Yeah I can't seem to understand it either.

IMHO could see a return to Obama market levels with these tariffs unless TACO.

Maybe the market is counting on TACO.
