DRV for a quick gain today, been trading this -3X ETF since last year.

Holding off on TMF as it keeps dropping.

We need higher rates….
Man ...... I completely forgot about shorting Real Estate like I talked about months ago. I guess I had second thoughts when Warren Buffet bought a few homebuilder stocks . It looks like he bought at the top .

“ Rivian’s loss per vehicle has been improving each quarter as it ramps production. In the second quarter, Rivian lost $32,594 on every vehicle it delivered. Although it is still a large deficit, it’s a 50% improvement from Q1’s loss per vehicle of $67,329. “
Doing better. Ford, GM and the rest will likely learn how to make a profit on their EV business in another 2 years or so.
 
TMV for a nice quick 5% gain.

Always have some casino cash on the sidelines for days like today.

Lots of buying opportunities with volatility.

So far, so soft landing. This economy is resilient; inflation is (slowly) cooling. Who'da thunk it?
At some point people need to stop paying "whatever it takes" for stuff where they have a choice, So as prices keep increasing the people with buying logic will tend to stop buying certain products, and/or start looking for better deals on the stuff they want/need to buy which then brings back some of the price cuts and price competition between sellers ... and it also forces retailers to get off the fabricated inflation train factor where they try to gouged consumers.

In Economics, product consumption is related to price elasticity. Price elasticity is a measure of how changes in price affect the demand for a product.
When prices rise too high, customers will seek out viable alternatives, if any exist.

Cars are too expensive, IMO. Cars are depreciating assets. Spending big bucks on a car is a dead end street for the average Joe.
 
Like others here I'm 95% cash. I have about 5% invested in the S&P 500 etf. It's there so I don't have any trading restrictions in my 401K when the worm turns
