The stock market

Surprised that market tanked today. The interest rate increase was inevitable and well-telegraphed, the market should have anticipated it.

Guess the market figured that Warsh wouldn't have the cajones to do it. That's OK, the late night temper tantrum posts tonight should be quite humorous...

DJIA down 1.2% is hardly tanking.

The market is holding it's own........for now.

Opportunity.

More than $200 BILLION in market value has vanished since its 2021 peak – a remarkable fall for one of the most recognizable brands on the planet. Where did things go wrong? Did controversial campaigns featuring Colin Kaepernick, BLM donations and Dylan Mulvaney help push customers away? | Outnumbered Fox News

That's what happens...............................................

Stocks had a great day on the surface. But something alarming occurred
Stocks had a great day on the surface. But something alarming occurred not seen since 1999

They've been saying the same thing for 2 years now. Meanwhile All time highs have been reached seemingly every day. Profits are crazy!

That said, I've pulled back a bit. Waiting for the heavyweights earnings reports. Fed might just end this sustained rally.

IOVA

Started accumulating in July 2025 and continued through October 2025.

Cost basis of $2.40

Popped around 20% today alone to $13.35

Taking my "tip" off the table. Even a waiter can make it big!! LOL

And also reduced my SOXL position again as it is over $150 a share.

With a cost of $11.56

LLY been very good good to me since 2016. It's amazing what 100 shares can turn into........lol

Indeed

I got nothing right now. Although I did see in my deferred comp the other day, Fidelity OTC did pay nice capital gains!!

Still holding

QBTS Cost 3.87 Mkt 16.41 Early 2025
VLO - Cost 65.13 Mkt 387.15 Grabbed back in 2021

I don't have the stomach to actively trade. Lol

All I do is end up buying high and selling low.......... I'll stick to the buy and hold method. Somewhat idiot proof.lol

Better than me………. I buy them high, and watch them go down down down and they belly up out of business.

That has happened too. Just not as much as the ones that go up! 8-)

It works for you. I do have a portfolio like that too.

Dismantling of an iconic brand. Hope others are watching. Shareholders should revolt and push litigation.

Sounds to me like that means AI is going to replace people and jobs and salaries and benefits so the guys at the top can make even more millions for themselves 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Nah. Cut out the nonsense that put them in this position and they will grow and hire more folks. With Dylan as their spokesperson, it almost ended a company.

Hope you didn't.
