You guys are misreading the China thing. They're not us. They play the long game and slowly tighten the Vice. Look at HK.

They view these people as their people and they want their economy.

---

Yes, they play psychological warfare and have infiltrated from within for decades (and many countries). They will continue to grind away. and China knows that our current admin loves war, I doubt they touch Taiwan.

Economic takeover.
1. Offer to build or provide infrastructure or other services to a country.
2. Make the loan unpayable so they default.
3. China owns you/or the entity like an airport or shipping port it built.
4. Control transportation port to deny shipments form non-China friendly countries.
5. Said Non-China friendly countries go bankrupt without financial input from abroad.
6. Repeat step 1.

Anyone like DIS down here for a longer term hold?

---

16min later we get a 2pt pop (with the announcement that DIS content will be on Apple's new VR headset)

Luckily I bought a bit right before that, better to be lucky than good

I may look back to this in a quarter or two and regret not taking some profits, but my overall exposure is quite small as they are only 5% of my portfolio.

I'm not sure, but I would like to get this board's take on the following video that aggiehawg posted over on F16. This sounds really bad for Disney, or is this video misconstruing the situation?



Synopsis is that Disney and Comcast are in arbitration over how much Disney owes Comcast for the last 1/3 of Hulu. Comcast is arguing Hulu is worth around 70 bil, Disney is arguing 27 bil. Either way, Disney is about to have to write a multi-billion dollar check to Comcast, and Comcast is trying to raise it further by arguing that Disney has been refusing to promote Hulu internationally so they don't have to pay Comcast as much.

I have nothing nice to say about the poster in question above. DIS ain't going anywhere but they also have continuously disappointed their shareholders for a long time. I don't see that changing.

Aggiehawg is a great poster. Why do you dislike her?

Any lottos?

Really hard to say what happens. We have been balancing. I'm leaning towards upside on lottos, but don't see anything that's high probability

$U jumped on that AAPL news.

Please let's not derail this thread. That discussion is guaranteed to be divisive.

It was just a question. You are free to direct your concern to the person who brought it up.

Whales and bottom feeders welcome though

My thoughts exactly!

Dark cloud cover pattern on XOM and CVX. Failed breakdown here would be bullish. Similar to failed evening star pattern on SPY last week that resulted in 10-12 pt breakout.

If follow through, would be bearish for oil, I think. Farmer is the expert, but I anticipated a stronger rally in oil today after yesterday announcement

Apology accepted, please buy WWR for us. Thanks.

I'm unfamiliar. Can you give some background?

Well, this is wild.

Seems like that's awful premium to sell puts that are 6mo out. There's basically no IV.

400 - 218.9 = 181.1. Ticker closed at 182.62 today.

NVDA looks to be inside a squeeze that should peak Wed by close.
If you look at the 30min chart

there was a lot of TSLA and AAPL puts at the close today, but could just be hedging.

Missed todays move but Autodesk is breaking out.

NVDA trading at 38x sales and 200x earnings. closest comparison i have seen is tesla at its peak, which subsequently dropped ~70%. been holding NVDA for years now, can any of you talk me out of taking profits on most/all of it at this point? really itching to cash in, not sure what i'm missing that would make it a bad idea.

---

yes, insanity. I guess it depends on if this is a trade or a forever hold and cost basis? if a trade, absolutely take profits, or set a stop. Even if it's a forever hold, I'd be selling some serious CC's on it.

---

on the other hand, I sold all my NVIDIA about 5 months ago to take profits..

so that turned out to be a pretty bad decision.

ASO getting crushed this morning. Down $3 or so. Big drop from recent highs. Any chartists have a good spot for adding to my position?

MT from 6/26/22 to 4/12/23 is 47.06. Earnings were this morn.
