Summary

Little to add.
Best guess… early Wed’ downside on ‘hot’ CPI, but then reversing upward.


notable stock: AMZN

Not a great day for Amazon… with tomorrow… ‘prime day’2.
I’ve not ordered anything today, but then I’m more focused on buying OXY.

notable stock: F

A strong bounce.

notable strength: GME

The lunatics of Wallstreetbets are having a good day, with sister AMC similarly higher.

notable energy: OXY

Set for powerful net declines. If CPI spooks the market, then another 2-3% lower. I wait!

back at the close…
