Sanrith Descartes Sanrith Descartes I'd have thought you knew better re "analysts". I rarely pay any attention unless it is a double up / down grade. Or a a few big institutions all come out with the same guidance that fundamentally changes a stock. Might as well give darts to monkeys, for the most part.

Oh I have always known this. This was me venting because DOCU was making moves back up and "magically" analysts decided to downgrade it so the algos dump on it this morning. I guess some funds need to close their shorts.

My feeling is PLTR got caught up in meme mania. Lets be honest, if (and I stress if) they can find a serious breakthrough with Gotham (the commercial platform) that is where the real growth will come. Its a great stock if you got in on the ground. That being said, Over the last year I have traded both calls and puts on it probably 2 dozen times and made money every time. It is a good option stock to play in my opinion.
Cathie sold yesterday.

Time to buy?

I'm a lifer with my shares. I like Thiel and I like the company. Being in on day one gives me the latitude to let it run and see if it takes off some day.

Suing a Chinese company based in China. el-oh-el
Well it's chinese companies suing a chinese company based in china. So basically they see the meat being pulled off the bones and are hoping to get a slice of the CCP pie. If it works will probably depend on their history of honorable party membership.

Shorting Tesla this month is a little too easy. Retail has bailed on it, and there's the interest rate thing. If I was on it the entire month, I'd probably have made 10k. But I didn't trade the first week (flew to a funeral) and I'm shutting down trading for the year here in a few days.

Tom Lee says delta and unicron should be negligible, and now that inflation is off the table, we are in a risk on environment.

He says unicron is already rolling over in terms of positivity and hospitalizations in South Africa, and sewage data there shows unicron is already burning through those areas (and peaked).

So rally from here.

Are you trying to convince the markets of that, or yourself?

(My travel puts up are up 10% today)

I warned you off the impending travel cliff what, 25% downside ago? First week of November in PMs? By all means if you want to accumulate as an investor, all the power to you. I’ve got better places to tie up capital.

For everyone’s safety, freedoms, and sanity I hope I’m wrong. The writing on the wall over the coming weeks has given me enough conviction to buy puts in certain travel names.
Tom Lee just spoke on travel stocks. In his words, unicron is peaking already in South Africa, demand hasn't lowered (still close to 2019 levels), we have therapeutics and the travel companies have made structural changes. Not so sure I agree on the final point, considering all of the dilution and increased debt.
He said travel stocks are tough to own now, but not January 1. He says he expects them to outperform next year.

I watched the same interview and I heard a whole lot of nothing... tale of two markets, first half of the year is shit with all gains in 2nd half... yet were hitting 5k in early 2022 but mid terms are bad and interest rates are going to be an issue.

Own energy stocks and travel... if you want to take profits in 5 years lol. Airlines are going to go fucking bankrupt and need a bailout before then especially if we hit a recession at best.

Nothing irritates me more than people who make half a decade long projections or worse, even if you're wrong it'll be so far off in the future either people will forget or youll end up right by sheer luck.

Buy oil today because in 300 years we wont have any left and youll be a gazillionaire!
