NVDA has more than doubled this year. Timing is hard.

Anybody in the thread running these days? I ran my first road race in a dozen years in the past few weeks as a test of recovering foot injuries and nearly squeaked under 20 minutes, a long way from my best but not terrible given I’ll be 59 in the next while. It felt hard the whole damn way… 🙂
US economy clearly going through an unexpected soft patch
There's nothing unexpected about it, at all.
What IS unexpected is that the official figures show some of it. There are so many other measures that have been showing it clearly, like trade imbalances, etc.
Hey retired! That's a good time for recovering from a foot injury, nice.
I have been back on the track at the U, but we will be traveling Jul-Sept, so no competitions for me--which is probably a good thing, as I'm working to try to build a decent base again. I might start some things indoor in Dec, if I am around.
Did you manage to survive without tweaking the injury? Live to fight another day

the rapidity of the drop in GDP estimates is unexpected.
I'm talking short term. Not decades-long trends.
Look at interest rates plunging - that's the best tell that this is unexpected.

Good run, comfortably retired. I enjoy running on the track, but with my retirement, Covid, and capital projects throughout the district schools intersected for spotty access. That ended recently with summer and running community pressure. Several track are very nice, with all weather infields. The one in Downtown Boise was my typical training venue, and it was closed for a complete facility rebuild, beautiful now in comparison to the previous well worn six lane track. Yesterday, I completed my first track interval session in years. It went better than expected, but I have done weekly runs through our neighborhood along with swimming, biking, and a weekly gym session. I am hoping to compete in a couple of road races next month, and our Idaho Senior Games. I tend to train consistently if I have a racing goal.

Yesterday, due to a computer glitch, Berkshire Hathaway shares normally $620,000 could be had for $185. So if you picked up 5 shares that would be worth $3 million. Unfortunately, those transactions will most likely be cancelled. Bummer.

I tried to buy one of course cause you never know lol. I've seen a few screenshots where a very small number of orders were filled at that price, but screenshots are easily faked these days so it might just be fake. Lots of glitches in the system yesterday.

Orders were filled but the NYSE has cancelled those orders.

Good going, comfie retiree, m.a.s., and GOI.
Funny you should ask because I've been running very consistently on my own (daily), plus once a week for a speed/interval session with a local running group/team. I've gotten a bit lackadaisical, though, about racing and have been doing one race series at the end of the year, but nothing in between. So, there's a nice low-key 8k nearby that the team was talking up, and it's well known and convenient, etc., so I forced myself into doing it.
I started out first few miles just doing it as a fun-run, but by the time I got warmed up and started feeling good, I picked the pace up by about 2 mins/mile for the last 1.5 miles or so - another words, racing it. That just about epitomizes my thoughts on racing these days.
Anyways, at this stage in the game, I am more interested in overall fitness and enjoying myself. I hit the gym just about daily, just to make sure I stay strong enough to run injury free and without looking like a beaten down mule.
It's all good. Thankful just to be able to keep running after a really bad injury requiring major surgery.
In reply to mas, I’ve so far (knock on wood) avoided aggravating my feet. It’s been a weird issue that started a year or two before covid and forced me to rest from running for a couple of months each time I tried running a few times a week for a few weeks. Very frustrating! I’ve been working with a chiropractor (of all people…) who specializes in feet, and some combination of metatarsal pads plus therapy plus exercises has kept my feet feeling good for more than six months. Fingers crossed it stays that way… My best running days are gone forever, but I still love running so this has been a real breakthrough!

My foot issues got better wearing Birkenstock sandals around the house, and eccentric heel drops (up on two, down on one; straight and bent leg).

Seattle, It was easier for me to stay in shape when I was working. I would join a running group 3-4 days a week in the morning before work. With no work demands, and a day that has no deadlines, I have admittedly been a bit lazy. Several weeks ago on a run I bumped into an 80 year old that recently ran a 2:10 half marathon. It shamed me into training again. Igy

Yes, I found that working had the benefit of structure. It was like, jump on it and do it now or you miss out. With no pressure to jump on things, I'm finding that it is so easy to let things slide.
Like your 80 y,o. inspiration, I had the pleasure of running a workout with my son a few weeks ago. We did stay together, but I was huffing and puffing (a lot) and he was forcibly going slow after a grueling very long trail run the day before. That was bad enough, but the spouse took a vid of us running by, and it wasn't pretty. I've been working diligently on stride mechanics and running efficiency ever since seeing that. It is help, too, btw.
But what I think about is this - we both got into running when he was only about 4 or 5, almost 20 years ago. For years we found reasons to run together and it was me holding back for him to not get left behind. Eventually, we got about even, and we would do little fun sprints to challenge eachother.
Well, since then he's become a really fit, strong runner, and while I have a self image of being one as well, there is no mistaking the difference. And the progression to this point has been an eye-opener.
Anyway, no shame in aging. I always wanted him to do his best, and if that means that I need to also in order for him to understand that, so be it.
I'm letting go of a few shares of both Apple and Nvidia at this point in hopes of buying back lower. I'm tired of this range bound trend and hope to use it to my benefit if this is the way things are going.

Seattle,
My son got into power lifting, gained quite a bit of weight. So I think I can take him on anything over 400 meters. On yesterday’s track workout a youth group was training, and I am sure the side by side comparison was a stark one.
I too work on mechanics, shifting cadence on intervals, something I learned from Mihaly Igloi. Some reps with higher knee drive, short arm lever and shorter stride. Others longer stride, less knee drive. Run tall, chin up, eyes focused out, hips level, and so on. I also find it beneficial to vary speed and distances in sets. Hills would accomplish some of the same goals for mechanics. Especially if one added bounding. When racing anything mile and under I incorporate sprint drills, high knees, A/B skip, foreleg reach, carrioca, etc.
