now it's...now it's...like listening to 6 year olds in the backseat.

agip,
As I think I mentioned MU is a very cyclical stock as well. It tends to move up or down in advance of the business cycle.
Hey, Saturday 800m 3:16, 4 x200m 44, 43, 43, 39. Five days running last week.

39! that's getting after it
your girl Allie ran well this weekend - she's a brave one, that
Allie hung tough, thought she ran smart. Heard she is a really nice person, hopefully stays that way.
Rigged a little on the 800m, need speed strength.

I'll put it in my calendar for a year from now and if we are still around one of us can gloat.
good call Igy - down to $35 at one point
Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds an acorn. Given his track record, the law of averages was definitely in his favor.

what is up with the deletions on this thread?
It's bewildering. Who is spending all this time deleting posts on this thread? and why?
agip,
It happened to a couple of my posts last week and Maserati's most recent post.

Might it have something to do with the real Igy leaving the thread days ago? :-)
Nope, real Igy has been back awhile now. The mischief is probably from the same source of trouble in the past.

Disagree with your first sentence. Agree with the second.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Wall Street stocks looked on track for a higher open on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 poised for a fresh record high amid better-than-expected earnings from Alcoa and optimism over a new prime minister in the U.K. to tackle Brexit.
S&P 500 futures gained 9.95 points, or 0.5%, to 2,140.25, set to add to gains from Monday when the benchmark finished at an all-time high. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% to 2,137.16, enough to surpass the previous record close of 2,130.82 set in May 2015.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 78 points, or 0.4%, to 18,225, while those for the Nasdaq-100 index climbed 23.75 points, or 0.5%, to 4,573.25.
On Monday, the Dow and Nasdaq Composite rose 0.4% and 0.6%, respectively, as investors continued to bask in the glow of Friday's solid nonfarm payrolls report. Markets in the U.S. and Europe on Monday were also encouraged by news that U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May will become the new British prime minister, avoiding months of uncertainty over who would take over after David Cameron.
That optimism continued on Tuesday in both the U.S. and globally, with a healthy risk appetite remaining among investors. European and Asian markets were higher, oil rallied, while gold and the yen -- traditional safe havens -- slipped.
Alcoa earnings: A stronger-than-expected second-quarter earnings from Alcoa Inc.(AA) also fostered an upbeat trading environment on Tuesday. The company -- which unofficially kicks off the earnings season each quarter -- late Monday reported adjusted earnings per share of 15 cents, beating forecasts of 9 cents a share. Shares were up 3.8% premarket on Tuesday.
"There could be a few more [earnings] surprises during the week given the strength of the U.S. economy. The country's economic data proved to be a lot stronger for the last quarter as compared to the previous one," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at ThinkForex, in a note.
what a world for business. This pokemon game thing is a giant business. it didn't exist a few weeks ago. Sort of. Anyway, the point is that globalism like this doesn't get any credit - we only hear about that bad.
"According to analytics firm SimilarWeb, the game is already bigger than Tinder on Android devices, and 60 percent of those who have downloaded it are playing it every day. For some context, that means that in terms of daily active users, the metric used to measure how engaged an audience is, Pokémon Go is currently about the same size as Twitter. In the next few days it will almost certainly overtake the social network, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary.

econ:
small biz optimism: up a little but in recent range
Job openings/jolts: 5.5 million open jobs. Al little down from last number, but the last number was revised up. Still a huge amount of jobs open, and shows the labor shortage continuing. Should bump up salaries.
wholesale inventories basically flat, in range.
...and another all time high for the major uS indices. hoorah.
Pokémon OK, as if people didn't spend enough time staring at their smartphones. Same mentality as sending selfies of various body parts. Kardashians or Caitlyn. Or mutilating your body with various body piercings and tattoos. No wonder so many are clueless to what is really going on in the markets. I find it hard not to be cynical.
...or spending the day posting on an Internet bulletin board.
