For the past several years when I would speak of the FED raising interest rates I would get beat over the head with "They can't raise interest rates because then they could not service the debt"....

I listened to Ken Fisher on fox business on Friday. He explained a lot of what’s going on and why. Extremely intelligent guy.
Long story short he sees this as a condensing period in a bull market and expects things to continue to grow with the exception of a black swan event.
Long story short he sees this as a condensing period in a bull market and expects things to continue to grow with the exception of a black swan event.
Staying positive is a good psychological tool for those in the market. I've lived through 3 - 4 of those condensing periods. In looking back, the investors that simply "maintained" their portfolio during those times came out well. Those that panicked when their portfolio's lost 50% did not fair so well.... But, as many have pointed out these are different times, different conditions, different players, different tools (computers / Internet / trading programs), foreign money like never before, etc. The DOW is being artificially propped up by rotating out the under performers and inserting the high fliers so it is really not an indicator of current conditions. Stock buy backs are artificially inflating share prices.
Sobering to see the Black Swan's mentioned along side of the talk of Bull Markets. There are some Swan Maker's patiently awaiting an opportune time to release their bird.

Maybe a "stop gap" alternative until batteries improve... Green Hydrogen
Plug Power Stock Surges on Agreement to Supply Green Hydrogen to Walmart
Plug Power will deliver up to 20 tons per day of liquid green hydrogen to power Walmart's lift trucks across the retailer's distribution and fulfillment centers.
Walmart has partnered with Plug Power since 2012, when it launched a 50-fleet fuel cell pilot. That has then expanded to a fleet of 9,500 plus, the company said.Maybe a "stop gap" alternative until batteries improve... Green Hydrogen

Interesting, never knew WMT had that many hydrogen trucks.
I did not know that either... America has a "Love / Hate" relationship with Walmart that started long ago. Union's hated Walmart but when I was on a union job in the middle of nowhere, USA.... The only game in town to find groceries was a Walmart out in the middle of a gigantic corn field.....
Walmart Small caps always get destroyed when rates start to move and people sell risk.Here is a good example of how the DOW is being propped up.... I'm not a big fan of the Russell 2000 but it does give a better example of a well rounded group of companies.
It's got to start somewhere... Remember the Bigger they are the Harder they fall.....
We may never see "Too Big To Fail" ever again....

Aftermarket has it down 0.17% on the day. I'll be a buyer tomorrow if it is down.
It's building a plateau.... Building momentum
Here's what I was looking at. Lot of down for the candle stick and a lot of up for the volume.
Was Shanghai in those results?
Those were good numbers but the stock can fluctuate that much on one stupid remark from Elon.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m hoping he has overwhelming success.

The stock is rallying on their best report. Highest gross margins and highest operating margins.
Shanghai will hit Q2 numbers but management is forecasting 60%+ growth this year.
Another interesting play from a heavy hitter - Blackstone

www.allsides.com I guess you did not buy at the open.
The platform is cancer and I think any company that takes over will continue the status quo. I think Google would benefit the most by purchasing.
It’s just a trading buy for me. I’m not hold.
I think Elon will end up with it just because he has the fuck you money.

For those that like utilities NEE might be worth some digging into. Down 3%+ today which is a bigger move for them.

the whole sector is down 50 bps hike for May locked in.
The more Yellen and Powell spoke today the faster the market dropped..... If you listen to them, you would understand why. Reminded me of a First Responder leaning over a guy shot in the heart and saying "Hang in there, you will be OK".... I think the FED's are trying to reassure themselves rather than the man on Main Street.
That 50bps does not include credit card rates, Pay Day Loans, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL), Fuel Surcharges, Handling fees and all the other material inflation that is being passed on to the consumer....
The economy has several more months to fall before the hard landing... Biden is not helping the situation.
JMHO
Just hope it helps the bank stocks.
I did buy a fair amount today.
I would like one face ripping rally before we do the downward trend.

The market is overreacting (imo) in general. There are stocks that are down that have zero reason to drop while some that you think would drop are holding.
