Summary

closing hour action: micro chop, leaning a touch weak.

… and that concludes Wednesday. It was a day of considerable chop. With a new hist’ high, it has to be seen as a net bullish day. Whilst I’m very open to s/t cooling… as low as 4250/40s, I have to expect the 4400s, if not the 4500s by around Labor day.


notable horror: AMC

Another difficult day for the lunatics of Wallstreetbets. Sure… the company has a future, but cinema is a dying style of watching movies, and I don’t say that lightly, as someone who would visit the theater every week.

notable stock: COIN

I see no news. A broad mess… and I’d only be a willing buyer if psy’ $100.

notable stock: RIG

I’d be the first one to call it ‘speculative’. Whilst I like the company, a test of key price threshold around $3.10 would be one hell of a ‘comfortable’ buying level. I’m going to wait… and hope!

A fine summer’s day. Have a good evening
