Reported at 6.5% YOY (0.1% lower than last month). That
used to be a recipe for disaster. now it's seen as good news;
crazy.
Cost of living continues to be unaffordable for many.
Prices would have to drop (not increase at a slower rate) to
actually make a difference. That requires a negative YOY
number, which is not in the cards anytime soon.
I know one size does not fit all,...but generally speaking and
given the current bear market backdrop (big picture), would I
be right in thinking it is wiser to wait for a stock to break out
of a bullish pattern/cross a trend line rather than buy it early
(within the pattern) with a tight stop?
It's not just the government. Majority of businesses are
just as bad these days. No quality control or accountability.
Paid a premium one Saturday to FedEx to deliver a package with
time sensitive docs 1st thing Monday morning (east coast to west
coast). Package delivered the following Thursday. Money
refunded but delay created problems. Purchased a lawn mower
online. Unpacked and broken on delivery. Returned and
replacement shipped next week; that mower was broken as well.
Returned for full refund. Purchased different brand
from Home Depot; that had to be shipped back as well.
Replacement finally worked.
For some reason, years ago "Wall Street" shifted from reactive
mode to proactive mode (trying to predict the future). That
meant a move away from trading based upon steps the Fed
actually takes to a model that transacts
based upon
"expectations". Similarly, analysts no
longer evaluate company performance based upon a trend in earnings
(actual v actual), but rather, compare actual earnings to
expectations. The problem is, Wall Street is anything but
prescient.
Would like to buy ADPN using a stop limit order. Any
suggestions on where to place my stop (buy) price? Breaking
the wedge or some horizontal resistance? Wedge is steep -
it's hard to find the breakout.
My thought about inflation is similar to yours (I believe): Even
if inflation cools, all that means is that the rate of price
increase (year over year comparison) slows but prices remain high.
Just like at the gas pump, prices are quick to rise when
circumstances dictate, but are slow to come down. Cost of
living has ratcheted up and will likely remain high for some time.
How stocks react to that scenario I don't know.
Have noticed that for GDX and GDXJ, volume on the final 5 minute
candlestick is significantly higher than at any point throughout
the day. Any insight into why or what's going on? This
has been the case for the last 10 days, perhaps longer, but I
haven't checked.
Any idea what happened to this "story stock"? At least two
intriguing products/concepts they have developed. Fell off a
cliff the moment it was listed on the NASDAQ.
Thanks for posting. My takeaway is different.
Essentially, the author argues that you can't judge bitcoin's
energy consumption or environmental impact because we don't yet
know bitcoin's full potential. Feels more like a
rationalization to me.
1. How is the interest rate derived at each 6 month
adjustment? What is the interest rate linked to?
2. Based on what I read at Treasury Direct, I assume a new I
Bond will be priced in May since it currently states you can buy at
7.12% through April 2022. Would that imply a higher interest
rate at the May adjustment since the inflation #'s keep rising?
3. Is there any way to purchase an I Bond inside a retirement
account?
Fascinating WSJ documentary about the supply chain. More
fragile and complicated than most suspect. Then you add in
the effects of a war and a 2 year old pandemic.
