It's balanced against the news that Aug 1 is real tariff date.  I bet that ends up pushing things downward.  Imma take a quick cash position with a plan to get back in on Aug 2 or so.

managed to save a couple percent on my SPYs.

i just did.  i was showing S&P where i left and where i got back in.

 

i bet on one stupid thing:  TACO was seeping into the national consciousness, and trump can't afford to look like anything but tough.  so this time there would be no extension.

Got it.

I was following the estimated timeline of your original post.  Aug 2 to return, so I assumed you were still cash.

The next inflation report just got a whole lot more interesting. Jobs showing signs of cracking already and then if inflation ticks higher on top of that? Yowza. 

This is what I am afraid of.  And what the Fed is afraid of.  I wanted to buy a bunch of August 1st PLTR calls, but was nervous about the report and tariff implementation on.  Going to be interesting to see how the market reacts. I am especially interested to see PLTR earnings, against what is going on in the market? I'm conflicted as I think they will report well.  But good news on a potentially down day?  Who knows.

Yeah the underlying AI data trove.  I was surprised it shot up so fast but honestly even more surprised on the retreat after the advance?  IF your bet is the data, then that did not change. So oversold. Nice premarket move.  You good call got me looking at options on the steep rise.  selling Sept $200 calls @ 15.50 looks lucrative as well on those shares.  As these big bounces usually pull back a little naturally.  But always nice to see one of your tickers on biggest gainers of the day!

AI pulling from Reddit… what could go wrong?

Too bad eskimo took over cause the collective bailed on much better content from the old site. Imma sitting on a goldmine if fn Reddit getting paid. AI trained off UT boards should be worth multiple of that crap.

I’m not a financial advisor. If I was all of my clients would be holding Reddit as one of their largest positions. HI (Human Intelligence). We are in the very early stages of this game and this company is the Nvidia of HI. We can possibly repost this later if you want to maybe next year or the year after but we’re talking about a multiple banger here. But again, I’m not a financial advisor. I just like to stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

Should I have taken a picture, it just got back from Maine, and in several of the touristy main streets, all the shops had big new signs in the windows with Canadian and American flags, said something like “we welcome our Canadian friends.” They’re feeling it up there for sure.
So, I dunno…short your position in schlocky T-shirts with mooses and such on em.

The AirBNB in Portland we stayed in and a number of shop managers mentioned a drop in Canadian tourists in the area. Probably explains the desperation of other certain professions (if you were the target).

Not to get political, because it's next to impossible to achieve that, but what will be the impact now that we will all know that the govt reported financial numbers are cooked? I know a cynical person will reply that they were always cooked but at least they followed the same formula and process, including negative #s. We now know that everyone in govt has to report good news only. 

Or will this be a new era that govt numbers will start to be ignored and we should count on the private sector only to report on macro economic #s?

I think this is the one area where saner heads will prevail.  People vote with their pocketbooks even more than their cult worship.  The system isnt going to let this path continue.  What that looks like, I don’t know, but I don’t expect a waterfall of bullshit to block out real info.

Well....prepare to see Reuters sued to oblivion for delivering "fake news:"

US factory orders fall sharply in June on aircraft orders drop

By Reuters

August 4, 20259:19 AM CDT Updated 6 hours ago

Aug 4 (Reuters) - New orders for U.S.-manufactured goods fell in June as commercial aircraft orders plunged, reversing the surge in plane orders that had driven the overall upswing in orders in the prior month.

Factory orders tumbled 4.8% after an upwardly revised 8.3% increase in May, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Monday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast factory orders would decline 4.8% after a previously reported 8.2% jump in May. Orders were up 3.8% on a year-over-year basis in June.

Manufacturing, which accounts for 10.2% of the economy, remains constrained by President Donald Trump's aggressive tariffs on imported goods. An Institute for Supply Management survey on Friday showed its measure of U.S. factory activity skidded to a nine-month low in July.

Trump sees the tariffs as a tool to raise revenue to offset his promised tax cuts and to revive a long-declining industrial base, a feat that economists argued was impossible in the short term because of labor shortages and other structural issues.

I guess also expect to see the Institute for Supply Management added as a defendant as well:

_____

WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (Reuters) - U.S. manufacturing contracted for a fifth straight month in July and factory employment dropped to the lowest level in five years amid tariffs that have raised prices of imported raw materials.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Friday that its manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.0 last month from 49.0 in June. A PMI reading below 50 indicates contraction in manufacturing, which accounts for 10.2% of the economy.

Wait, so the July jobs report that added a miniscule 70k jobs is actually good news, based off of April income numbers for only "native born" Americans, however they track that?

Lotta qualifiers and mix and match, but I hear they've got new numbers people in charge now anyways

I love how this administration has rooms full of people scrambling around to look for any obscure statistics they can find and serve up to rubes like Chickensandwich for distribution so they can obscure the damage they are doing to the economy.
