Should anyone be surprised?

We’ll never see another scam as big as Coronavirus. It’s truly unbelievable.

Question is, dare one make a near-term bet against the golden Apple? Guy at the Fidelity options video offers this idea.

I think I’ll probably short Apple tomorrow morning right at 4am on that China production news. I was thinking about it last week and didn’t. Now is definitely the time.

Any thoughts on SQ? Feels like a good buy in this range. Short term move to 70’s seems likely

SQ:

What you need is a time machine to buy it last thursday.

Earnings have been going down (and now negative) for years. Growth slowed dramatically in 2022, looks to me like.

I do think they're sustainable and a household name and it's going to be around. But profitable, I don't know. I don't know what's wrong now.

Absolutely. BRK/B tracks the S&P500 total return pretty much perfectly. You won't have any taxes at all except when you want to buy a boat.

Same here. I think happy days are coming on Wednesday. However, the proof is in the pudding tomorrow.

Appl, BAC, Coca Cola., CHV, AX. 73% in 5 stocks.

BOAT, stands for "Bring Out Another Thousand". Anything that goes wrong is at least $1000.

Two best days. The day you buy a boat and the day you sell the boat. JMO

I used my powers of time travel to travel to 2:30 and I think not.

Still got 90 minutes. We may see something here in about 20-25 minutes whenever the big boys go to work.

Dive pre-election results tomorrow?

I understand how the Tennessee election is going down tomorrow. But, still not counting out the blue vote in Georgia, Nevada, borderline tossup places. Blue counts votes better than red.

Nah. I love my boat. Teenagers flock to the boat, not the pool.

DIS earnings tomorrow…..is there a play there?

Historically the markets fair better when Dems are in power. Not sure that means much if anything for the future.

That is true.

In this specific case, the market should maybe reward gridlock. Our prez seems to have sleep issues..

I don't see an election day scenario that would surprise the markets, unless the Democrats somehow hold onto all Congress. I think CPI on Friday will be the bigger "news" event this week.

.

I will let you know after further time travel.

Probably so...the parks have been overflowing all year.

In what power? POTUS? Congress? Also from what point in time? January 1st. With the elections in November then unfavorable results for markets can commence in early November. Does that drop get attributed to the incoming or outgoing party.

Also, don’t forget that the equity markets consider how the economy is expected to be performing 6-9 months or further out.

Also there are all sorts of non-political events randomly impacting equity markets at any time. COVID. 9/11. Dot com crash. ME oil strategies. Putin. Banking crisis (which was actually ignited at least in part by bad legislation).

Bad policies can certainly impact matters (taxes, escalating unwinnable wars, fed interest rates, stop issuing drilling permits and shutting down major (pipeline) projects, tariffs). It not as simple as one or the other is good or bad for markets. What would be ideal is bi-partisan cooperation at solving problems and doing what is best for the country. Like when Clinton and Newt used to work together. A couple of presidents ago that concept was abandoned.

Haha…..yeah someone told me that 2 years ago and I’ve done nothing but lose money ever since
