China miracle or mirage:

Financial sector earnings are likely to grab headlines this coming week, but there’s also important data on the way that may help give investors a better reading of the U.S. economy. And crude oil continues to be a big factor in the stock market’s ups and downs.
One key data marker is March retail sales early Wednesday. So far this year, this benchmark has delivered mixed results, but traditional brick and mortar stocks have done well. In February, retail sales fell 0.1%.
There’s also the Producer Price Index (PPI) on Wednesday morning, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Thursday. Both PPI and CPI fell in February, but core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy components, rose in both January and February, and was up 2.3% year over year through February, the largest year-over-year gain in nearly four years.

Useless post without the details and their interpretation.
Don't fall for this kind of garbage.
Igy, many parts of China are hellholes. Go there and see for yourself.
It's a nightmare.
Another Maserati post that's short on facts.

You expect details and interpretation before the data is available?
Maserati,
I heard the same from friends. The wife could care less about traveling and I am neutral to the same. So China travel is unlikely. More likely to go to the Oregon coast, Revelstoke, Canada or Hawaii.

Maserati,
I don't pay much attention to CPI and PPI. There is too much noise in the numbers. Atlanta GDPNow and the Cleveland Fed Stress Index give trends that I believe have more reliability.
Those MarketWatch posts are nonsense.

econ:
Small business optimism index: bad and dropping. This has been a steady drumbeat of discontent for a few months now.
Redbook same store sales: +1.1% y/y. A low number but better than we've been seeing lately.
import export prices...generally deflationary but rising energy prices have skewed them to positive.
BTW, it appears that today, the theory that the market follows oil is carrying the day.
Up around 165 so far.

A "theory" posted days ago by MarketWatch.
Looks like the imposter is back.
I know tomorrow is another day, but so far it's been a good week for CHK. I expect Igy will continue to poo poo the company, but at the moment it's worth almost 3x what I paid for it less than two months ago. If only they were all like this!
Big,
As I said before, I have no particular opinion on the company other than I would choose the debt over the equity. I am glad you have done well on the stock.

producer prices +1.0%. meh.
inventory glut is still a major problem: highest sales/inventory rate in 7 years and not improving.
Mortgage apps surged: +8.1% y/y
