MARKETS,Anybody even yet?

AMZN +double-digit% after hours on revenue and guidance beats. I think we're still waiting on AAPL.

My gold miners finished higher but off the best levels. AEM +6.4%, AGI +8%.

Edit: INTC -10% after hours. Big miss. I own it, but fortunately not bigly. My last buy was at 37. I'm not inspired to add now.

Missed the edit window.

AAPL slightly better than expected, apparently. +3% on the news.

SQQQ approaching 40 from the wrong direction.

Lost 134 bucks on paper today on sqqq, but gained almost 800 on the rest of the account including the sqqq so all is well.

Markets: +1.03%, +1.21%, +1.08%. I was +1.42% today. My semis were both +1%. I expect at least two more disastrous days this year. Overall -8.5%.

Today's theme is dollar wrecking ball. I was so busy buying gold miners, I missed XES (Oil Services) dropping to 50. I think that's a reasonable price for inflation protection.

SWK Stanley Black & Decker misses on earnings, dipped briefly below 100. I may have a go if it breaks 95.

We have ignition.

Markets: +1%, +1.4%, +1.9%. I was +0.6% today. Have a good one.

[FAA]

Markets: -0.14%, -0.28%, -0.18%. I was -0.16% today. 40% winners hardly augers well for August. Overall -8%. Expecting other shoe to drop by year's end.

[FAA]

Markets: -1.23%, -0.67%, -0.16%. I was -0.13% today. 33% winners. One of my energy companies was up substantially, preventing a deeper loss. Do I try to buy or stay dry?

Summer doldrums today for stocks. Range was only 1.5%. Every sector ended red, but the worst was only -1%.

Bonds meanwhile were bloodbathed. Pre-market, TLT traded close to 121.50. It ended at 117.50. Throughout the day, the Fed trotted out its wind-up dolls to bleat about inflation.

Gold miners followed a similar trajectory, partly mitigated by an early spike apparently inspired by Pelosi/Taiwan drama.
