Must be why natural gas hopped up Monday...

Forward looking a year to the recovery...

Wonder why NOG and VTLE went up with

oil price drop on Monday?...

Surely not another sign of nutty algos

programmed to buy despite down turn...

This world needs less tech...

Could start interfering with folks valuable

time spent on phones texting...

Why in the heck does pltr have a market

cap higher than Verizon or A T & T?!...

Phone companies drive the I-phone sales...

Can't get over how nutty it is...

20% less dock traffic in Cal starting this

week goes up to 40% less dock traffic

in the next week, add other ports to that...

Add almost a million less trucks hauling

a day to that very soon...

Put me in , 'Ye, of little Faith' , folder...

Quick tariff deals are pipe dreams of media

stories in the U.S.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/european-officials-warn-more-work-needed-to-reach-a-trade-deal-with-us.html

Just review E.U. timelines on doing

trade deals over long periods...

China might convert ships to peasant cruise

ships for summer tours as cheap as

shipping rates have dropped...

'More than a three hour tour', Gilligan...

It will take China wealthy some time to

build and tool factories in India before

they can start delivery to U.S...

Seems like a long wait for things that used

to be available when expected...

Yep, shouldn't be so droopy and data

driven on outlooks...

A warning was flashed from Msft about

cutting back that SMCI confirmed with

their weak results, IMO...Margin compression

happened because expenses like payroll were

spent but some biz didn't come thru...

Results looked worse to me than the stock

price dropped in after hours..

Folks sitting on sold call positions need to

exit those at market open before they can

sell those shares...

Results hinted that a gap fill of the 18.80

just might be freakin possible...Friday?...

Here is a good data driven video if you think

you can handle it before watching...

He may not know the timing, but is on the mark

on how expectations get set up so that short

positions can be set up...
