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. 20 hours ago, Tailgate said: I grabbed RDDT this morning before earnings. This company is poised for serious growth in a world of AI coming hard.

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!

August 4Aug 4 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.

August 5Aug 5 Well glad I only had one covered call on my PLTR going into yesterday. It's at $162.5, but still a decent return in a short period of time, and a downside hedge had things gone poorly. I was actually worried about the market not shrugging off the removal of accuracy in the BLS but no worries, GREAT numbers are on the way... no matter what! The problem is how do you time a crash in advance? It may not be for months, but I am glad the bad reality was washed away yesterday so I could profit. AI is rolling and propping up the overall value of the markets. And increasing the bottom line for companies, but it won't help most businesses overcome the overall effects of the the Trump tax tariff pretend math isn't real policy. I am scared shitless for when the lemmings realize momentum swings both directions, and that lies about the economy are now the norm for the Trump Administration. (That's the case now, but realizing it will take a while to catch up). 20 hours ago, SuingToGetAMessageBoard? said: I think this is the one area where saner heads will prevail.

Well, they will all be racing to their laptops and wondering why stops did not execute until a price farther below the mark? When the fantasy obscure numbers begin more and more to disagree with reality, but that will not be enough. It will most likely be a violent correction once the tide turns. Hell I am riding the tide too. Only I should have been a lot more riskier the last few months on the upside. But I am wary as shit about what will actually happen over time. ---------------------------------------------------------- And... I didn't even know @ChickenSandwich was vying to become Trump's new nominee to the Fed! Dow went up 4.70% in January, and in the Dow is up 3.83% for the year. That's areally, really, really good job by Trump! 😉 Just look at this chart....

Fact is, most chips aren't made in the US. Most of the silicon in my PC except the 5070ti was diffused in Malaysia or Korea or China and then assembled in another country and then landed in the US. The new unilateral tax from the emperor means COGS skyrocketing across the supply chain.
