I was very surprised when HD raised guidance yesterday. Bold move, not sure if I would have done that.
I'm adding to my ASO holdings down here in the 31s
As posted, every relief rally since March has gone 3 daily highs max in #ES_F then failed to new lows & todays open is looking like more of the same. Bulls had to hold 4025 and so far failing

Unless bulls can reclaim (which starts a large squeeze). 3945-55 next down, bounce zone https://t.co/XLISf7DrK0

of course, what happens when the US government needs to buy back oil to refill the SPR?
are they just never going to refill it and leave it empty?!

I don't understand why ZIM is down so much after such a strong earnings report this morning.
Sounds coordinated. Musk is not a well liked character currently by many in power positions.FJ43 said:S&P DOW JONES INDICES SAYS IT HAS REMOVED TELSA INC TSLA.O FROM ITS S&P 500 ESG INDEX

Social media goes woke and corporations follow in order to control the consumer's way of thinking. He doesn't follow that path.

Your statement hit home. We have been having the economy as one topic of discussion at the dinner table. I told my son when the layoffs start happening that's when you know the trouble is running deep. He works part-time at a grocer Hy-Vee. They started layoffs about 2 months ago, starting with Marketing & Advertising (but not all), estimated 50 jobs. Last month 100 jobs. Two weeks ago 415 jobs and Corp employees are given opportunities back at the store level (cut in pay of course). Netflix hit the newswire this morning with 150 layoff. Since the Warner Media merger with Discovery, Zaslav/CEO has been cutting left & right. Warner studio employees in California feel they have the upper hand,....sounds good until the cuts start rolling down. AT&T was closing west coast call centers and laying off in January. These are the one's I remember, but I think the layoff trend is in gear. Had an article on my news feed about how to defend yourself in an interview being seen as a job-hopper now that the gig economy appears to be dying or dead. Yeah, I think the it's happening..ProgN said:Could be, when we start seeing layoffs then it would support your hypothesis.Charismatic Megafauna said:

Model T on the recent run-up is ~397.3. Bet we see a little bounce there
Around 395s I will take some weekly SPY lottos long. Should we get there.

There's been quite a few layoffs in the lending space.
Not hearing much about layoffs here in DFW yet but hiring freezes have been ramping up the past few months, especially in the corporate ranks.
VIX above $29.
Same in my world, especially with travel cost increases. Comms will go out soon to cut travel and freeze hires.
Listening to Varney (Fox Biz) this morning in the car. He had a NJ wheat farmer on saying their wheat is on target for a July harvest. Added that his input costs doubled. His crops were already sold through a broker. But didn't know where crops were going.
Then Varney interviewed Nebraska Gov Ricketts about corn. The Gov said his constituent farmers are very concerned about survival due to costs. Ricketts mentioned a report from Texas A&M they use to talk/ forecast crop economics. Pretty cool A&M mention on national tv show.

I need some hiring freezes so we can actually hire where I am....we are not a high compensation company and not fully remote and we are STRUGGLING to even get an interview set up with candidates that 5 - 7 years ago that I would have laughed at if they applied. The ones we use to get....no chance these days....

I went SPY $400, expiring today. 0.88 cents
We are a salary + commission, 3 days a week in a bougie Frisco office, company but still struggling to get interviews. Even for kids right out of school.
My main clients (O&G services companies) have had zero slow downs in hiring engineers. In fact, they're hiring faster than I can find them.

We do 2 days WFH, 3 Days in office...1 of those 3 days in office is 1/2 day Friday.
That still is not flexible enough.
