I am taking off until the NYSE gets rid of all DMMs and stops all the other robberies it has in progress which may not happen until they have sucked the world dry.

I am now sitting in hotel overlooking the lake in Zurich Switzerland and have no intention of entering that crux infested US stock market again but I will stay in touch in a couple months.

I had planned on going on to Mexico but met some old friends here and may stay awhile, g/l to all.

Las Vegas Sands price target raised to $71 from $62 at JPMorgan
JPMorgan analyst Joseph Greff raised his price target for Las Vegas Sands (LVS) to $71 from $62 following the company's Q1 results. The analyst sees "lots of moving pieces" in the print and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Greff thinks there are reasons to be optimistic that the Macau market will rebound later in Q2 of Q3, but at current share levels, he sees more value and better risk/rewards in Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and Melco Resorts & Entertainment (MLCO

Las Vegas Sands price target raised to $80 from $72 at Stifel
Stifel analyst Steven Wieczynski raised his price target on Las Vegas Sands to $80 from $72, stating that the company "delivered another solid quarter" with "exceptional mass market gaming performance" in Macau and Singapore. However, while he expects shares to trade "modestly higher" following earnings, he does not see anything within the results or management's commentary capable of triggering a fundamental shift in the currently "decidedly mixed" sentiment on the stock. Wieczynski, who encourages investors to "look beyond the short-term noise," keeps a Buy rating on Las Vegas Sands shares.

Honeywell reports Q1 EPS $1.92, consensus $1.83
Reports Q1 revenue $8.88B, consensus $8.64B. "Honeywell delivered a very strong start to 2019 with first-quarter results that exceeded the high end of our sales and earnings guidance. Organic sales grew 8% led by our long-cycle businesses in commercial aerospace, defense, and warehouse and process automation, and strong demand for commercial fire and security products. Our robust sales growth, supported by winning positions in attractive end markets and the continuous improvements we are making across our supply chain, drove earnings per share of $1.92, seven cents above the high end of our first-quarter guidance and up 13% excluding the impact of the spin-offs." said Darius Adamczyk, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell. "Segment margin was above 20% for the second quarter in a row with 120 basis points of segment margin expansion year-over-year driven by the favorable impact of the spin-offs, increased sales volumes, and operational improvements. We also continued to make progress on cash, generating $1.2B of adjusted free cash flow, with conversion of 82%, up 14 percentage points year-over-year, while repurchasing $750M in Honeywell shares in the quarter. We remain on a path to 95% to 100% conversion for the full year." Adamczyk continued, "As a result of our first-quarter performance and our confidence in our ability to continue to deliver for our shareowners, we are raising our full-year earnings per share guidance to a new range of $7.90- $8.15, and organic sales guidance to a new range of 3% to 6%. "We are very pleased with the start to 2019. Organic sales growth was strong in all of our segments this quarter. Our long-cycle backlog increased more than 10%, and our investments in new product development and commercial excellence are delivering results, while positioning the company for short- and long-term success," Adamczyk concluded

FB German WhatsApp users spread Nazi propaganda on platform, BuzzFeed says
German WhatsApp users are disseminating far-right propaganda through the use of stickers and chain letters but the platform appears to be doing little to stop it, despite local laws banning the use of Nazi imagery, BuzzFeed News' Karsten Schmehl reports, citing hundreds of uses of anti-Semitic or otherwise pro-Nazi stickers. Tens of thousands of messages have been sent among far-right users in nine WhatsApp groups that BuzzFeed monitored and among them have been symbols glorifying the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler, anti-Semitic images created using WhatsApp's "sticker" function, and messages looking to incite violence and threats against leftists or refugees.

Mornin, not a clued on NFLX but impossible to play. It will go whichever way they make the most on options after they swing it 4 or $5 several times and spread bid/ask a couple dollars.

I doubt they even know now. Need to wait and see where traders go and go opposite.

When they pay ameritrade 25 % for our trade, then they take a profit on top of that and they make millions a day with their HFT platforms. Scotland Yard you don't need to be.
