June 26, 20187 yr Anecdotally it seems like the last several large single down days are my with immediate bounces. I will be curious if we see the same tomorrow.
June 26, 20187 yr Unfortunately you'll have to monitor Twitter to see if you'll get that bounce back or not.
June 26, 20187 yr GE spins off healthcare and Baker Hughes, build core business out of aviation, power, and renewable energy. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/26/ge-shares-rise-after-it-announces-plan-to-spin-off-health-care-unit.html
June 26, 20187 yr oh interesting! healthcare is a money suck these days. BH has been a player in energy for a while...will be curious to see what happens.
June 27, 20187 yr GE- Appears shareholders will get 80% of the healthcare company in a spin-off. Details on the Baker-Hughes transaction aren't as clear, at least to me skimming the reports. Looks like a sale rather than what they are doing with health. Anyone else have more insight? I admittedly haven't dug too deep. Edited June 27, 20187 yr by Reagan1k
June 29, 20187 yr My parent company, Lannett, just filed a restructuring of my site and put out a press release for it. Cutting 50 jobs in a town of 10,000 is going to cause issues here locally, as the only pharma facility in the entire state. I expect a lot of houses to go up for sale pretty soon. Hoping it eventually gets investors looking to buy stock and run the price up a little. Edited June 29, 20187 yr by Pato del Muerto

GE got nothing but a carcass and had no idea what to do with it. Complete waste of money.
June 29, 20187 yr What are your thoughts on SBUX as a value stock? It's down 15.5% since June 19th when they lowered their guidance, but dividends projected to grow 20%. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4184811-starbucks-start-paying-attention

July 7, 20187 yr I bought some a while back. Way to early while the knife was still falling. It has to rally back a fair bit before I think about breaking even.

If an SBUX response then I did the same; I purchased a small amount at end of June, but have no plans to divest. IMO they did a good job of announcing they plan to reduce redundancy while maintaining wages. In a couple weeks I'll decide if I'll add more.

July 11, 20187 yr At some point these tariffs have to be priced into the market. That are massive downsides to tariffs from a consumer spending standpoint and the market seems to go up a few hundred points every day just because.

July 11, 20187 yr On 4/18/2018 at 12:29 PM, Anastasis said: Agree completely. I don't understand why the PBMs and retailers got hammered when AMZN hinted. If anything the amazon play would be a challenge to wholesalers like ABC (up 3% today btw). Amazon was never going to open a mail order pharmacy to compete against retail, and there was no way in hell that they were going to wade into the PBM segment. There were a few analysts who dismissed the nonsense, and rightfully so. And a few who bit hook line and sinker. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/28/amazon-to-acquire-online-pharmacy-pillpack.html

July 11, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, Washpark said: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/28/amazon-to-acquire-online-pharmacy-pillpack.html Yeah, I've been following the Pill Pack acquisition. I was clearly wrong about them wanting to go online retail based on what was swirling in April. Pill Pack has a nice niche distribution model. I don't see their unit of use dispensing approach scaling broadly, but don't have a lot of insight on how they manage the complexities. The unit of use model generally creates a lot of wastage which is why it is only rarely used. I'd love to know how many patients they actually serve and what their margins are. I think that a wholesaler play would have made more sense, but clearly I don't have the best sense where Bezos is going with this.
July 11, 20187 yr Traditional pharmacy is very low margin and highly regulated to the point I can't figure out why AMZN wants a part of it. There are some high margin scripts but you can't ship those via mail because they have to be climate controlled.

PBMs have the back end squeezed. I don't see the AMZN angle here, but clearly am a dumbass because I have no position in AMZN during one of the greatest runups in history. Specialty, which you are alluding to, makes more sense if your objective is to make money. But I am not sure that that is AMZN's objective here. Edited July 12, 20187 yr by Anastasis

July 12, 20187 yr If I am interpreting your post correctly, doesn't jive with the unit of use niche that Pill Pack occupies. Frequency of site visits impacts conversion which will result in higher total share of wallet. Amzn wants to own 100% share of wallet so you only buy from them which means you are buying all other products via their platform.
July 12, 20187 yr Remember following and later picking up DNR when someone mentioned it on the shag awhile back. God bless you whoever you were take a bow.

Starbucks is becoming a player in China, and apparently one of the stores there "beats any Starbucks you'll ever see in the US." I've been looking at SBUX for a little while, and decided to buy some calls; but the market went against my orders Tues & Wed, finally filled the order yesterday for 5 10/19 $52.50 C - so I have a vested interest in this for the next 98 days. I wanted to go longer but the prices were to rich for my blood.
July 13, 20187 yr 14 hours ago, Superhero said: Talk to me. How does one go about it? I trade through Wells Fargo brokerage (because I wanted to consolidate my accounts). They seem somewhat limited in what they can do. Well, call customer service. Tell them you want to write covered calls -- sell calls against stock you own. You would probably be restricted to selling only the number of contracts truncated down to the nearest 100 lot of shares (assuming you don't own bizarro stocks with 10-lot options contracts or similar). It's actually a less risky position than pure long stock, as long as the software doesn't allow you to sell the stock without buying back the call. They'll make you fill out some paperwork and then classify you as "level 2" or some shit (of 5) as an option trader. Be aware that any call that is in the money -- the strike price is at or below the stock price -- on a stock with an upcoming dividend will often lead to your stock being called away. No dividend for you (but you get to keep the $ from selling the call).

July 17, 20187 yr Well shit. Bought about 75 shares of NFLX today at $400 only to see it drop to $340 after hours. My horrible timing of NFLX stock is well documented on the scat site. When I decide to sell my shares, take that as a sign to jump back in.
July 25, 20187 yr HMNY is back up above $20 at today's open, dropped to $13 (oh yeah, that is after yesterday's 1:250 reverse stock split. A death knell if ever there was one)
July 25, 20187 yr FB crushed for 10% AH on revenue miss. Maybe TWTR is starting to actually take some market share from them.
