Always the unexpected with Elon. I wonder if this means he's aiming for a hostile takeover.

Wondered as well.

Board = cannot own over 14%. Maybe he wants to own more than that. Maybe got a deep look at the workforce and decided everything needs to change.

Maybe sells.

who knows. entertaining though.

The board position was an attempt to rein him in, in my opinion. He would have been capped at 15% ownership and only 1 of 12 votes. It was clear with his recent tweets he was not going to play by their rules and he intends to shake things up. He's supposedly filed as a activist shareholder now. We'll see what he does or if he loses interest. I can't imagine he has a ton mental vacancy to deal with twitter and his myriad of other responsibilities.

Markets just slow dripping to the downside.. my volatility measures are continuing the signs of weakness along with this pretty epic slide CNBC won't talk about in the fed bought credit markets.

Both T and WBD are trading up 7.5% post merger spinoff. My broker shows the T decrease but not the WBD shares so it looks like I am down nearly 19% with the T price adjustment. T's new dividend yield will be about 5.7% at its current price. Verizon in comparison is 4.74%. Hopefully a more focused T and unbridled Warner teamed with Discovery will allow both companies to flourish.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your stock/bond/cash ratio right now?

Retirement is 100% stocks. Non-retirement is 90/0/10 right now. But 15-20% of that 90% is commodities ETFs or commodity underlying companies.

I didn't even know till the last few days or so that these recent lockdowns were even a thing. I had to see it on my propaganda Chinese news network to know. Go figure. Not a peep here though. Strange to say the least. Hard to believe we wouldn't want to discuss the world's second largest economy in full quarantined lockdown. Surely this won't have any trickle down effects.. :-/

I knew all about it because of the Tesla plant being shut down. There have been protests, looting and more.

The look in this guy's eyes has that feel that even he doesn't believe the words that are coming out his mouth...

youd think ppl would be blasting it everywhere since is covid related.

For any BTCers.

Elon thinking 80k BTC by next week! Bold move Cotton... Might be an interesting live stream though.

Without going too political, these are the authoritarian style lock-downs that some were longing for in the US. The actual application doesn't look so appealing. It's important to remember that there is still a huge group of essential workers in China that still have to work exposed to the risk. Zero Covid policy has proven to be a failure.

I saw on CNBC that retail trading has fallen to its lowest levels since pre-pandemic. It's pretty amazing that the speculative bubble was able to pop without much damage to the overall market. We'll see if the rest of the market can hold up under rising rates and recession fears.

All the stimmies ran out

Looks like OPEN is loading up for another short play by the big money guys. Up 9% today, but if past behavior is any indicator, it will give back all of that and more by the end of the week.

 

[Folster]

WBD has been wild this week as it's trying to find its footing after the spinoff from T. Up 8% currently.

Stop it. Nobody here was “longing” for these types of lockdowns. These damn right wing snowflakes don’t know the difference between oppression and inconvenience.

Ooooh you got to wear a mask and pick your food up curbside.

I said some and you said nobody. I'll leave it at that as I don't want to argue about it on this board.

There are plenty of examples on the internet of people preferring hardcore lockdowns vs what we did.

Maybe I'm shaking off my consumer discretionary jinx! I'm getting good performance from JWN, anyway. It's nice to have some good results to mix in with the bad ones.

Anyone wanting to listen to a human version of Kermit the frog, go watch Cramer today. Haha

Musk has offered to buy 100% of TWTR at $54.20. He reportedly plans to take it private.
