MARKETS,Anybody even yet?

[FAA]

NASDAQ +1.3%. Flip that script.

The billionaires and giant funds are playing games and making a fortune. Dump tech one day and buy the Dow. Next day, dump the Dow and buy back tech cheaper than what they owned it at 2 days ago. Media causing pump and dump too playing interest rate reporting games. If you can play their game and stay a step ahead of them or with them, you can do the same thing. Even if they make 1/2 of one percent a week, that’s 25 percent a year. 5 Times what a T bill or MoneyMarket or CD would give them.
Anyone can do the same thing. You just have to be at least good as the monkeys throwing darts at the dartboard when playing the game.

We’re getting whiplash from all the about faces. Like Covid year.

Glad I bought some Tesla at 180 a few days ago. Closed 196 today. But who knows about tomorrow.

I also took a considerable risk adding to my BGS holdings which has been slammed and now down to 8 bucks a share. They own over 50 great brands besides B and G pickles. You would be surprised at the list. In the interim, I hope their 9 percent dividend holds. Speaking of great brands, their Green Giant steam/ micro in the bag veggies are the best and fast!! On sale sometimes they are only a buck or so.

Nike -20%! Just Blew It. I suppose I should be grateful to my crack advisors for selling it last year at a wash $100. Not that those soothsayers saw this one day plunge coming of course.

I’m going to watch it now. When I see it starting to turn up again, I will dip my toe in. . Maybe! I never had a pair of Nikes. Converse as a kid and New Balance now for comfort and Walking.

[FAA]

You’ve always bought American! Nike is just not keeping up with the Joneses on innovation. New competitors Hoka and On have caught fire.

[olds442jetaway]

I haven’t tried either, but might at least try them on. I still do my speed walks on my beach route so for now, I have found New Balance the best for that. When they get too beat up, I repair them with shoe goo that works great and use them for mowing and yard work. Shoe Goo is also great for re glueing women’s boot heels etc in case nobody has tried it. Loose plastic or rubber auto trim too. Get it at Walmart or you can order it. Lots of uncertainty in the Market. I’m going to have to closely follow the technical chart guys like Josh. I don’t want to get stuck holding stuff like I did in 2021 when I should have bailed at or just after the peak, then bought back in cheap!!! Could have, should have, I’m also going to wind down my Vp play and go more for enjoyment. I just can’t get any consistency in my play to stay around even.

Wth? You're nearly even halfway through the year...seems fatalistic or at least defeatist.
