Up after hours.
Just what we've been waiting for.

Unfortunately layoffs will happen since payroll makes up a large portion of a business operating expense.
Economy is slowing down and no doubt companies will be trimming the fat.
I still believe we need another 30% discount on some very good companies like Amazon that are currently getting beat up.
Have cash ready for some great buys.

Amazon needs to come up with something additional to add value. In my experience most companies are selling their goods on their own sites. Some might be attached to Amazon but many are not. Retail is adapting.
Walmart used to be the cheap place to buy food and sundry but again, in my experience others are just as cheap now.
Amazon is bloated and has too many warehouses / distribution centers / employees.
I still like AWS and their advertising business.
Amazon needs to make some cuts because they grew way too fast during / after the lockdown, now they have to downsize and make some tough decisions.
I’ve said this before a few times:
My IRA was once made up of 100% Amazon stock, I really liked the company but I could see that crazy exponential growth could not last forever.

I agree with this but at what point do you buy there stock. There pretty close to their 2019 price point. I don't see anyone catching up to them in the mid term on the retail side. Walmart is trying but can't seem to get it at all.
A long term "investor" doesn't buy any stock/etf until its 200 day moving average on a 1 yr chart is (trending) going up. You sell when the 200 day moving average on a 1 yr chart is moving (trending) lower. It's easy to see on the AMZN chart, WMT has held up better than most but is trending lower, just not as steeply as AMZN.
Buying when something is trending down is called "catching a fallen knife", OUCH!

I think its the media that concentrates on the iPhone, we have had a saying in our family for decades and decades, even before the internet.
News to fit the stock market.
Translated version, there will always be a news story to fit the direction of the market.
It is note worthy though, even though its concentrated on the iPhone, just look at the news of FB and Google and tech companies in general. I think its just time for a common rotation but heck, what do I know, I dont trade day to day or even month to month. Though that may change one day, now that I have time in my life for it.
I mean, in general right now, the tech world is getting beaten up in the media with the massive firings and layoffs. Through in the tech centers real estate market for icing on the cake!
Amazon, gosh I must have been one of their first customers *LOL* to bad I never bought their stock.
I started to hate them as time goes on but for me low price always won. Generally now I hate their site, its crowded with secondary market sellers and you really have to watch yourself. One thing that always bugged me is how they take advantage of people with there "free shipping"
Its not free unless at check out you remember to switch from paid shipping to free shipping, even though you bought the item because it says this item "ships for free" but it doesnt ship for free if you forget to click on the free "button" if you do forget it charges you for shipping.
Im shocked their has never been a class-action lawsuit over this. It is true though, you can always find a same or better price someplace else on line. I still use them but not often at all.
Ive seen a bump up in some Walmart pricing too. Certain items that were much cheaper are now the same or a few pennies higher. Yeah, for the first time when I am shopping there I feel like I have to be careful its not "blanket" cheap anymore. Im long on Walmart for a few years now bought in the double digits.
I mentioned many times the three what I consider very conservative stocks that I am in long-term so much so I don’t watch them day today and in fact I didn’t even know that T-Mobile‘s earnings came out yesterday until I looked at the stock price and wondered why it’s shooting to the moon, thank you T-Mobile.
Being long term doesn’t mean forever but means for the foreseeable future and you ate not going to get rich on any of my three conservative stocks but firmly believe they are safe from most economic swings.
May be better said less chance of losing all your money
One thing that convinced me a long time ago was their rollout of home Internet service of which they made the statement at the earnings call last night “I anticipate that T-Mobile had more broadband net additions than AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Charter combined for the second quarter in a row”
In all honesty I don’t know how much potential there is on the upside I guess I’ll find out someday maybe.
This doesn’t make any difference and can be dangerous thinking this way but I like listening to the CEO of this company.

No one can predict the future the game can change at any time but I became convinced about two years ago that maybe, stress the word maybe, a landline connection to a home for Internet one day may be as popular as a landline telephone and if that day comes T-Mobile is in a great spot with their 5G broadband and frequency spectrum.
To add to this just two weeks ago we were forced to secure an apartment because our house sold so fast and we will need to be out in a matter of weeks and our new home won’t be available for months. Being my wife works from home asked about the Internet provider there and they said Spectrum but then get this the office manager says a lot of people don’t even bother with spectrum anymore they get T-Mobile home Internet and they love it.
It’s so happens in that apartment complex I noticed we have a full five bands on a cell phone for T-Mobile so that would explain the satisfaction.
Who knows this all may me nothing except for one important thing that is the company leadership has been steady, upfront and carrying out the vision they stated that they are working on. With all the above said I don’t know how much upside there is in getting it at this point may or may not be the smartest idea because this is a slow moving stock not a one night wonder

I always want to buy Apple when it’s really beaten down and I never do and always wish I did but then again I’m fully invested as far as the stock market goes.
It seems like you could always count on Apple having a bounce.
You probably own Apple through a fund or ETF.
Apple is very diversified. Most people just think of the iPhone but their inroads into health, banking, and a slew of technologies and services make them well rounded.
What percentage are YOU an investor / trader ?
Now if only people could get the cyclic rhythm down of these weekly roller coaster rides and "mini rallies" ...

Do the exact opposite of what Jim Cramer says to do.
Stay far away from _____ when he says…. “Buy, buy, buy”
