    With Powell's comments, we'll have gone a year past the point inflation was supposed to be over.

    I see a lot of Business Owners are stressed right now. You have to do things to make you feel happy, eat right and workout. I'm 51, I've seen people have heart attacks from doing their own thing younger than me. Just did a Zoom meeting the other week trying to help a friend who owned a...

    Are sales down from a lack of demand, a lack of product, or both? I find it hard to believe people are into pets less. We were actually down only 10% last year, and that had more to do with the fact that we missed 22 days due to rainouts. We benefited from people staying at home. They didn't...

    But you have some funds on CNBC just now calling for six rate hikes. Seems like the bears have taken over the narrative. J Powell needs to clarify. Its always funny to see the hedge funds come out on CNBC. 75% of what they say is misdirect.

    I forgot this. Got a letter from a Fortune 100 company that it was terminating my contract as a vendor. They demanded 10% lower prices, and I'm not doing that. All of my costs are up at least 10%. They have to pay my costs, or they don't get my services. I don't play the game some companies...

    $640 on BABA in 80 minutes' trading. This was actually a tough day for me, at one point, I was down 1k. Even though the signals said short, if the stock got anywhere near support, I lost $500. Stock was pretty volatile with all the signal changes. One thing that helped me out this weekend...

    And that's realistic. I remember when I got out of college and interviewed with a brokerage firm. Guy flat out told me he didn't care about my grades, he only cared how much money I wanted to make, and how hard I'd work. He offered me a job on the spot, but only if I wanted to be rich. I...

    Best performing sectors this year are energy and banks. I loaded up on those at the end of the year last year, in anticipation. XLE is up about 10% and XLI 6 in just a few weeks. Energy just dropped way too low.

    I'm old. I remember when they used to teach Capital Asset Pricing Model and ignored everything else. My first degree was in the early 90s from Penn State. Technicals weren't even an issue. All the Profs did was talk about CAPM until your ears bled. How boring. Later, if you mentioned...

    When I was in B-school, we visited mutual funds that preached fundamentals. Every last one of them said fundamentals > than all. But when we walked around their offices, every last one of the Employees was looking at technicals. It was up on every computer screen. YMMV

    And they do have AI programs for retail investors. I look at the reviews on some of them on youtube and wonder what would happen if I messed with AI a little bit as an experiment. Overall, I hear AI is shit for us.

    That 10th trade tho I thought I was going to get stopped out. I know I'm not supposed to show emotion, but I was screaming and cussing. Until I can get rid of that, I can't really trust myself.

    Because either they don't have the intelligence, or can't stick to it. Or they'd rather spend all of their spare time drinking beer, going to the casino or chasing pussy. Even with a financial incentive, they don't follow through. Over the years, I've bought people online training, but I'm...

    If anyone is thinking they are better than the market, they need to read Warren Buffett's writings on luck streaks and market outperformance. It takes a long ass time to prove you can beat the market, if ever. We try to beat the market, but most of us should be in mutual funds and ETFs...
