Down goes the Dow

So it was a dig. Why did you deny it earlier?

Wait,

Read my words very closely, there is zero mention of Apple, and a response to his, may I repeat, his "Igy Contrarian Strategy" comment, or I will continue to be "laying wood":

Big,

Here are S&P 500 earnings estimates at five observation points for Q1 2016, and last 12 months earnings estimate at same Q1 end.

4/15: $24.10 and $88.82

4/22 $23.34 and $88.06

4/29 $22.76 and $87.48

5/4 $22,28 and $87.00

5/12 $21.53 and $86.25

As usual Wall Street is slow to reduce earnings projections since it is bad for the narrative.

Wall Street last 12 months earnings (LTM) estimate for Q1 2017 is currently $112.72. That is currently 30% higher than current earnings trend and $6.76 higher than the record LTM of $105.96 (09/30/2014).

So you may want to want to retitle your strategy to the "Big Dog's Hopium."

I read it before. So those numbers have nothing to do with Apple? Why quote them then? Anyway I read you admit it was a response to Biggie's characterization of your Apple buy recommendation.

Wait,

Believe what you want, you will anyway.

This is a complete bullshlt myth propagated by those who have knowledge but no power, to make themselves feel better.

It's used as a conditional statement of the form "if knowledge, then power"

Logicians out there can think about the truth of the converse, inverse, and contrapositive; others can just rest assured that the statement is a bullshlt mantra repeated by a bullshlt poster.

Hint: when posting about knowledge, don't misspell 'bullshit' three times.

Wow. You don't get he spelled it that way to avoid using a profanity?

So by changing one letter to a similar looking letter means it's no longer a profanity? Are really you that fvcking stupid?

But nobody gets that the wannabe intellectual doesn't understand the difference between a conditional statement and a metaphor? At least when I went to school, we learned this in elementary.

You have been exposed for your BULLSPIT. Amazing how you fragile ego types can never admit it when you have been busted.

Hi, K5! It looks like you can't spell bullshit either. It's an epidemic!

Love to watch you wallow with such inexplicable pride in your stupidity.

Ha ha, K5. I'm not the one who misspelled bullshit.

Wall Street was set for a choppy open on Tuesday, with stock futures struggling for direction as investors assess a faded rally in oil prices and wait for key inflation data.

Apple Inc. shares (AAPL) , up by 1.1% premarket, helped lift the Nasdaq. The stock built on a 3.7% jump on Monday, which came after Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRKA) disclosed in a regulatory filing it had bought a 9.8 million-share stake during the first quarter.

More broadly, U.S. stocks closed with gains across all three benchmarks on Monday, as a surge in oil prices and a rally in tech stocks overshadowed weaker-than-expected manufacturing data from the New York region.

Oil in the driver's seat: A rise in crude prices helped lift U.S. stock futures early in Tuesday's premarket session, but shares started to trim advances after oil headed lower. West Texas Intermediate crude oil rose 6 cents to $47.78 a barrel, paring a gain of as much as 1.5% earlier in the session. Brent gave up 13 cents to $48.84. Crude had jumped more than 3% on Monday after Goldman Sachs said the oil market is now in a supply shortfall.

CPI: lots of cross currents b/c fluctuating oil price.

y/y all-in: +1.1%

y/y core: + 2.1%

That 2.1 number sounds high but it actually represents a bit of cooling.

Housing starts: high number, in range, short term improvement

Same store sales: horrible: +0.5%.

industrial production: bad, shrinking, but improving. capacity utilization also bad but improving.

E commerce: +3.7% - solid and in range.

By "shrinking, but improving" do you mean shrinking less?

coach d do you disagree that "it's used as a conditional statement of the form "if knowledge, then power""? If so, why?

And in its presented form it is not a metaphor at all, but a statement of equivalency.

If you don't understand the difference between the presented form and its use, then do you agree with the equivalency asserted, that knowledge actually is equivalent to power?

Stick to your after-the-fact pontifications about particular equities. Didn't some other poster go back and show that the very few prospective pronouncements you actually made ended up at best even, and often with a loss?

At least he's putting it out there for all to see, unlike you who claim all these secret successes.
