    Yeah, it's definitely been a lot more quiet for sure, at least to me too.. , and I think a lot of analysts/MMs are still trying to prop it up. This basically is the time where there could be a big opportunity - at least I an hopeful, haha

    And now we know why he demanded everyone return to work. He's trying to get people to quit so hey doesn't have to pay out any severance or benefits. He's basically doing what IBM does where they force people into situations they don't want in order to get people to quit.

    @adoo any insight on y LMT has higher eps and almost double the dividend of NOC yet NOC has the higher share price? Is market expecting higher growth for NOC? Their business segments seem quite similar

    i m no longer working at NOC. but, this is my understanding.

    ranking of the BIG defense players, LMT, NOC, and RTX; avoid BA like a plague

    having said that, my pick for defense continues to be SAIC, a second-tier player w expertise w digital applications to the industry w a global reach
    apart from its talented employees, its lean/nimble operations have led to profitable/cash rich results/a pristine balance sheet

    You've been quiet for a while, oh great stock soothsayer! Thank you for visiting the thread again.

    (btw, I was making fun of Musk talking like a 15 year old)

    AMZN's 20 for 1 stock split will go into effect on Monday

    i see down size action in the immediate future, post the split

    constructed this bearish 20-pt CALL spread spread, using the 5 July expiration

    • +2,460 strike, - 2,440 strike, for a credit of $10.20
    max profit $10,20, max risk $9.80

    should AMZN trade below $2,440 at expiration, i get to keep all the premium that was collected in advance​

    Aha! Finally, I have a chance to get back into AMZN back at what I bought (and sold) it for over a decade ago. :D

    I wish some of these technical analysis gurus would come out and call the bottom on this sh** market...then I would believe in this stock horoscope a bit more lol..
    But I guess if it worked, everyone would be a trillionaire..
    Just like Ms Cleo would have won the lottery..

    @Ziggy i am also just tickling lol

    I gotta admit, it's times like these I wish I still had a 401k to contribute to. The best part about these downturns is you can invest without knowing it or forcing yourself to with automatic contributions, and 5-10-20 years later be like "wow... glad I invested". With a 401k, it's tax-free and company-matched, too... which makes it even better.

    Twitter falls after Elon Musk says company materially breached deal agreement

    Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) dropped 5.2% in premarket trading after Elon Musk said that the social media company has "materially breached" Twitter's obligations under the merger agreement due to Musk's requests for more information about spam accounts. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) rose 3.6%.

    https://seekingalpha.com/news/38458...ompany-has-materially-breached-deal-agreement

    This is getting ridiculous. Twitter should just ban him till he ponies up to buy the company @ $54 lol.

    Musk is so ghetto for this. If he can't afford it just say it and walk away. No reason to make a scene.

    He doesn't *want* to afford it but he can - meaning he legally can't walk away. He was an idiot for being goaded by his fans to make a binding offer and waive due process. Now he's looking for a way out, but if Twitter wants to hold his feet to the fire, they can make him buy or sue him for many billions.
