A horrific image that I'll never see but yet can't unsee. Thanks for that

I bought some SQQQ today, then took it in the chin. I still have it though. Huawei chips, TSLA at $285, and everyone earnings missing on the top line, seems like a reasonable bet.

UPS to cut 20,000 jobs on likely lower Amazon shipments, profit beats estimates
“ United Parcel Service’s first-quarter profit beat market estimates and the parcel delivery giant said it will cut 20,000 jobs to lower costs in an uncertain economy and in anticipation of weak volumes from its largest customer, Amazon.
Shares of the company rose nearly 2% before the bell on Tuesday after it said it expects to save $3.5 billion in 2025 from job cuts and by shutting 73 leased and owned buildings by the end of June. “

The Mack truck thread was locked but I had mentioned FedEx and UPS has been laying off employees and closing warehouse / package sorting facilities. Both companies offering pilots early retirement package to trim pilot staffing.
Global Economy has been slowing down for the past 2 years.

I read the article, and while I understand it - I don't get the point. Did anyone actually pay attention to the Atlanta fed nowcast anyway? It was always way off anyway.
Are they trying to strawman us for tomorrows GDP print?
That pretty much WAS the point.
Looking to buy some JPM prefered's today. There falling a bit.
But I am still confused. Since bond rates are falling, wouldn't prefered's go up? There pretty much a bond masquerading as a stock. Confused?

Smart money will buy preferreds at the right price, but people are rightly scared of preferreds, because the whole worst of both theory. Not a bond (hold until maturity), not a stock (real growth)
Rates falling, one day, then not.

I like preferred if it's below call price and high yield. The yield is qualified dividend, not ordinary income.
It can be yes but not always

I could feed off the 50 cent spreadOkay boys you can get a 25% dividend with Kohls (KSS) .
It has enough volume to victimize..
Why was it once over $28
Now I feel bad for even mentioning it . You going to buy it and lose money . Once they cut the dividend it's going to lose 50% more

I don't buy retailers either way.
You are correct , sorry
