OT: Stock and Investment Talk

Coinbase tanking in premarket trading, after a big down day yesterday. SEC’s case against them could impact its crypto token trading and staking operations related to alt coin trading. This represents a big part of their revenue.

COIN is going to win this court battle (unless Congress intervenes first).
 
I saw an interview with the CEO and it wasn’t calling the police. It was engaging them and also following them out the store.

Potential for the unpredictable to happen and affect the safety of employees.

OK, but it will have the same effect. Open season on Lululemon and low employee moral.

COIN is bringing a machine gun to the SEC's knife fight. This will be fun to watch.
If you listened to GG’s interview on CNBC, perhaps the biggest indication that this is a war on crypto that the Gov’t will not lose was when he discussed how crypto basically has no role in financial transactions and the US Dollar, Euro, etc. will reign supreme.

Sounds like it’s time to load up some sh*t coins…

I don’t really follow crypto very closely and have no investments in that space. From my limited understanding, pages 22-24 of the Risk Factors in the Coinbase S-1 registration statement describes much of what is happening here, different interpretation of which regulations apply to what areas of crypto.

 
DJI up, Nasdaq down this morning.

Posted a week or so ago when the DJI us up 2% on the day outperforming the Nasdaq.

Is this just a blip, or the start of a longer term trend?

Which I think is an OK policy, but firing the employee's seems out of line. Didn't watch the video though.

It would be healthy for the market to have the Dow and R2K is catch up a bit. I've been loading up on these plays to maintain my allocation ranges.

UPS selling well below precovid P/E levels. Like many cyclical companies we see an expected yoy dip in EPS in 2023, but then a rebound on the other side.

But if we put it's precovid P/E on it's 2023 expected earnings, it would be over $200, with 10% growth beyond that.

Typically outperforms FDX, but has heavily lagged over the last 6 months.
 
Here is my wish for the new year.

S&P is able to hold this 3700-3800 area and make a run for 4300.

If we give up though (on a weekly or daily) then 3400 unfortunately.

Sorry.
I was wrong. Just last Friday the bulls were pumping their muscles and had me convinced that they could push this thing to 4400. They fooled me.

Three days into the week and the magic is gone. I guess that 4300 the crystal ball saw way back in December 2022 is now showing them who’s boss.

Stayed tuned.

Is it gone? Or is this just a breather?

As much as a safety thing, I think it's also CYA. They don't want liability if anything happens.

The CEO also said the workers are trained not to engage. But you know human nature is to try and do the right thing.

It's dumb to react too much to anything this week. Why? CPI on Tuesday. If it dumps as expected, we are off to the races. The only thing holding this market back from ATHs is the garbage lagged CPI math.
 
Bought MMM a month or so back.

And a week ago Josh Brown was grilling Jenny and Farmer Jim for buying stocks with awful charts that showed no signs of bottoming. And i definitely thought that could be said of my purchase of MMM.

Was down 12ish% but yesterday was a good day on the news of a lawsuit settlement. Is that the first sign of a bottom? Hopefully.

Around a 10x p/e. With eps expected to grow in coming years.
Saw analyst interview the other day and they see exposure for just the forever chemicals lawsuit being up to 20-25B. The potential settlement that made some news which was about 10B IIRC didn't include all jurisdictions. There is also the ear plug lawsuit as well.

I'm tempted but don't think I'll get in any time soon if at all. I'd probably want to see a drop into the 60s-70s before I think about it again. Last time I looked at it, it was in the 120s IIRC and now in the 90s so I won't rule out a further drop and a divy cut even for the cream of cream of dividend rulers.

Accidentally wrote this in the Smoke thread earlier today..

Yesterday's "What are Your Thoughts?" saw Josh Brown thinking the SEC going at COIN was actually a positive, and that's why the stock didn't totally collapse, and then rebounded.


The thinking being, the SEC is finally figuring out how it wants to deal with Crypto, and once they do, companies like COIN will comply.
 
So the AI trade cooled off today, and the Nasdaq was down over 1% overall, but TSLA kept trending upward.

Guy Adami saw $225, a former support level, as possible resistance. Closed at 224.57, down slightly in extended.

Clarity is sorely needed for COIN and the crypto market.....even if that clarity isn't as positive as hoped.

How is Dan's TSLA short doing? LOL! Seriously, nice rotation day. Small caps showing some nice strength. I added to my small cap plays to keep them in balance. Also, still rocking UWM and patiently for the rally. Thought about converting to URTY, but likely missed on that play.

I'm eyeing some AI plays, if we have a meaningful dip. We shall see.

All I know is today's MRKT Call title was "time to buy small caps?"

And I'm def waiting to see the AI plays calm down. AI being one PLTR another. Both of which I had called away a bunch of points ago.
