Is the stock market going to tank?

[m2711c]

i’m happy with the dividends on IRM and MDLZ.

[Brock Landers]

Bob, Abbvie has been a nice dividend stock for me- only non energy one I still own. Tyson I’ve dabbled in as well since it tumbled in 2020.

[pogs4ever]

I have just been DCA every pay check, really boring companies that I just buy dips;

Loaded: XOM, T, DUK which have been good to me in.
Flat but still ok for me have been IDA, SMG, NYCB
Im eyeing INTC for 2023 (Im guessing they arent quite at their bottom yet but probably close, low-key i think the semiconductor industry is going to be wild this year),

While that has been nice to see slow accumulations; all offset by my more perilous choices RIVN, EVGO, and MU.

That ABV looks pretty interesting; gonna keep an eye on it.

Brock, still holding CLB? I thought about going back in when it went under $15 in October, kicking myself for not picking up 100 shares. They announced redomestication today, moving to Delaware from the Netherlands. Makes it a bit more interesting not having to pay %25 tax on dividends and profits. (Granted that dividend will now be worth $.01/quarter instead of .0075/quarter.)

That’s the way to do it in my mind, put all the cash in you can and be ok with losing some of it from time to time.

I bought another I bond... 6.89%...

Thank you whoever drove that down for me. I owe you.

Transitory: The producer price index declined 0.5% for the month, compared to the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.1% decrease.

You can thank Elon.

Nah, pushed it all into oxy eog and dvn. Been riding those.

May trim half of each and slide it into more long dated TSY, HY, and prob end of Feb short dated TSY.

Retail sales number was shittier than expected…I think this is the start of it.

18 mo low nat gas

If T fills the island gap above at the very least the bottom is in. Could run too. That “bogus” trading was right at the bottom of that important gap. Good luck busting all that liquidity.

I sold a call on XOM the other day for $1.80. At opener today it showed XOM down $8.00 and my call priced at $5.00. There was a little bit of goofiness in the market this morning.

[lowsparkco]

Was trading halted yesterday? I read a small article that mentioned a stop in trading of certain stocks, but it was vague. Has anyone seen a better explanation?

Some major stocks glitched lower by 15% briefly at the open but recovered quickly. Speculation is it was due to a software glitch. I’d hate to be the guy who had a market sell order sitting waiting for the open.

Thanks. Interesting stuff.

I managed to buy my call back for $136.66 after the silliness subsided, made $42.68 in two days for risking basically nothing. Selling covered calls on tickers you are already up on is a no brainer. I set the orders for a bit higher than I think they will sell at and hope for the best. Grab the cash when I can.

So far this month I’m up $130.08 selling calls and puts, have an F put expiring Friday, which will put me at $143.42. (I’d be really surprised if it doesn’t expire worthless.)

Last year I made about $100/month writing contracts, this year I hope to beat that by a bit. Add that with $411 in dividends each month and my cash contribution of $200/month and I’m starting to feel a bit better about retirement.

As I like to keep saying in this thread, start your retirement plans early, the earlier the better. Don’t be scrambling looking for a way out. Compounding and diligence will allow you to get the hell out of the rat race before you feel scared about it.

I’m still scared but can now sleep at night.

T up 6% this morning

[Mani_UT]

T up 6% this morning

Speaking of T, what happened at the opening yesterday AM? Fat fingers? Someone got fired?

[summit]

MSFT freaks out about clouds and this freaks everyone about everything tech. Shrug.

I don't get why GD dipped after beating expectations, but I bought back in on the dip.

I don't get why BA is doing so well after fucking over expectations... not getting back in.

RIO is doing so well

I'm loving my FLNG and bought more on the dip. I feel good about that for a bit but I guess I'm not sure what I'm looking for longterm on staying in/out.

You are not alone.

Everyday 1/2 the market guru's say the end is near and head for safe ground while the other 1/2 say the signs all indicate a bull market right around the corner.

Nothing is fixed. NYSE still vulnerable to opening manipulation. BOND for example. Shows opening price .5% higher than regular trade which is a large difference in that ETF.

I suspect someone or some machine has found a vulnerability in opening price mechanism for NYSE. Could be anywhere. NYSE runs lean, I can assure you of that.

AFAIK yesterdays outlier trades have not been cancelled yet.

[Cono Este]

Tesla! So glad I dumped my kraft for that one.

Thank you mainstream media!
