Ok family, how's it going today. I just got home from my first colonoscopy and fajitas and margaritas for lunch afterwards. Getting old sucks, but great prognosis and zero polyps so won't need another one for 10 years God willing. My smartass did have the whole staff laughing their asses off though which was fun, especially when I asked the doc if I didn't get dinner and movie, would he at least leave a few Benjamins on my gurney afterward.

Regarding oil prices:

Crude Tumbles on Energy Demand Concerns and Dollar Strength (msn.com)

Wednesday's weekly EIA report showed that (1) U.S. crude oil inventories as of Aug 4 were -0.4% below the seasonal 5-year average, (2) gasoline inventories were -7.2% below the seasonal 5-year average, and (3) distillate inventories were -16.7% below the 5-year seasonal average.


Farmer, are these the fuzzy numbers you're talking about?

What do you guys think about potentially revisiting NBR? Wondering if this guy might be headed back into the low 90s at which point it might be a good scoop.

Everything stopped for me at 1245 pm today. Got a call that my father collapsed while eating lunch. Wasn't awake for 4-5 minutes but came to when paramedics arrived. My mom was alone with him and I can't imagine her emotions at the time.

After spending all day with him at the trauma ward helping him take pills and piss in containers and calming my parents down, they moved him to a room for observation. He has a concussion (looks like someone beat him up) and are checking his pacemaker and brain in morning for signs of seizure, stroke, brain bleed, or anything else. He's had significant cognitive decline since spending two months in a coma/hospital last year.

Hug your kids and family and tell them you love them. God bless my wife for being by my side and sister in law for driving 80 miles to take care of my daughter today.

Prayers lifted Carlo and if you need anything please let us know. We're family in here, sometimes dysfunctional, but still family.

As someone who lost their dad too early, my advice is to spend as much time with him as you can. It sounds cliche, but you don't want to look back and feel like you could have been there more. I feel for you and will be praying.

Good advice. Life is precious and much too short. Cherish the time you get to spend with your loved ones while they are still with us.

Been playing around with my MATLAB script again. I decided there was value in finding stocks with consistent growth a while ago, but couldn't wrap my brain around how. This morning, I decided that I needed to do linear regression analysis and filter out those that had poor R values. Here are the top 20 stocks that meet an R value of .95 for the past 60 days. Start by filtering out my 9500 stocks that don't meet the .95 criteria and then sorting by the slope of the curve.

Thoughts?

What is the dependent variable and what are the independent variables? I'm a ground level statistician so excuse my ignorance.

Independent variable is closing price all normalized to the opening price of the stock 60 days ago. Hard to make comparisons between a 2 dollar stock and a 200 dollar stock if you don't. The two things you get from it are the R2 term and the slope of the line.

Not sure I answered your question here.

Honestly.. I'm not sure either. It's interesting for sure, and looking at beer candles of those charts shows a good run. But hard to tell what that means moving forward. Could just be aligned with overall market strength and bullish season.

We need more variables. Perhaps controlling each one against its own sector, the major indexes, historical similar bullish seasons, etc.

I know for sure I do not want to do that work. So I'm glad you volunteered as tribute!

That could be done if there's a way to automatically look up what sector each stock is in. That's something I. Haven't figured out how to handle yet.

I'll say though, the point of this exercise is to try and identify stocks that are currently in a good run. Seems like that much was accomplished. Curious to see how a 1 month study would look.

What are you seeing on those charts?
Not looking at charts, derivatives, etc. I have heard they are about to pop. Earnings for AESI tomorrow. I think SMMT is on 8/8.
What are you current thoughts on both of these opportunities?

She looks ready



Also, to update my compadres on here on the career switch. I used to coach, 16 years worth, jumped into financial advising last year with an insurance emphasis. Didn't take me long to figure out 2 things. I wanted to work in property and casualty insurance and I wanted to be my own boss. So I'm opening a Rollo Insurance branch in the small town I live near. Hence the reason for no trading time, lol. I am working in season football coaching hours right now to get this thing rolling.
She was ready!

What was the R value when they started to pivot? And before?

So are you looking for change in R to signify a new trend?

Would it have a small parabola type of move? I would see what R is when it "pivots" relative to what it was before. May present earlier moves.

Just an idea. Might be a dumb one.
