Summary

Little to add.

—
notable stock: NKE

The Dow component of Nike has earnings in AH.
The consumer is broken, and shoes are one of the first things people cut back on. I’d be concerned about the outlook.
–

notable horror: WBA

Outright horror for Walgreens, a company that looks set to close 25/30% of its stores.
–

notable semicon: MU

Its just ‘one of those things’, as the market wasn’t satisfied with good earnings and a positive outlook. Wednesday’s black candle played out.
–

notable hysteria: CHWY

So Roaring Kitty posted an untitled picture of a dog.
The lunatics immediately extrapolate that to Chewy.
Bizarre.
