The numbers today fit that pattern better than a pure product problem. And with the stock now cut in half from its peak, the drop this week is just a combination of what savvy investors already knew. And the story is not unique to this company or to footwear. #Markets #Retail #Consumer

The stock market is still bullish, but wobbling A very important week ahead on our analysis. 1. Does it hold top of the range support? 2. How far does the next rising phase take it? 3. Will the following sell off bring the deep projected drop we have shown for many weeks?

There is a fix. It’s very painful and that’s the point of my post. And what you say about government officials that’s the other point of my post. Can’t you see it? Where do you stand? Which pain do you prefer?

Our government and Fed officials believe: hold everything together now no matter what the cost. The correct action for our children and grandchildren: Fix everything now, no matter what the cost Where do you stand?

US National Debt has moved from $19 trillion to $40 trillion over the past 10 years, a 106% increase. It will go much higher in the years to come because there's absolutely no political will to stop the deficit spending before it becomes a crisis. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=TT9ajz…

4. Policy Band-Aids: Treasury buybacks are short-term financial engineering not a fix for the underlying deficit and supply realities. As Mohamed points out, when the global risk-free anchor becomes volatile, the ripple effects hit everything from mortgage rates to equity valuations. Critical analysis.

leaving short-term price-sensitive buyers in charge. 2. Supply & Debt Overhang: With national debt crossing $40T, net interest costs near $1T/year now absorb ~20% of tax revenue. 3. Competition for Capital: Massive corporate borrowing (especially AI infrastructure) is actively competing with sovereign debt issuance.

Always paying close attention to Mohamed El-Erian @elerianm his recent warnings on the U.S. bond market hit the nail on the head: 1. Structural Instability: The bond selloff isn't just cyclical—traditional price-insensitive buyers (foreign central banks, Fed QT) have stepped back,

Railroads were once 63% of the entire US stock market. Not 63% of transport stocks. 63% of everything listed. The history of concentration, in order: – Tulips, 1637. A single bulb traded for the price of an Amsterdam canal house. – South Sea Company, 1720. Shares went from

Every trader has a moment where the plan says one thing and something inside them says another. What wins that moment determines success. My coming book, “A Trader’s Ride.” More soon

I get that a ton of liquidity is getting unlocked today... but what if the sell isn't as big as everyone expects? $SPCX call skew is still in play I'm long the SEP 125 call and short the $135 in AUG, at $6.75 now and traded $5.75 yesterday.

Absolutely WONKY close, if you have $SPX options the bid/ask spread are super wide on the close. Once settlement hit you will likely have a wild swing in P/L

I am always net long, but this seems like a great spot to start adding downside hedges. Vol is super low SPY 18%, put diagonal long OCT the 760 puts and selling the 730 in SEP trades at $9.50 ish plays right to the range we've been in since May
