Gold up to $4185. Has held strong above $4K. Think it takes awhile to really build momentum again to take out ATH's. Had based for about 5 months earlier this year before breaking out. Based for 3 years after it's 2020 run. The latter included rate hikes and an equity bear market which doesn't look to be in the cards this upcoming year, especially rate hikes.

ONON blowing up this morning. Pulling up NKE and DECK as well.

In other news, my SLB calls are back in the green! :)
After troughing in 2025, SLB expected to get back to EPS growth in 2026, though modest at first, and more significant in 2027 and 2028.

Was looking at DVN's chart yesterday, and it looks like it may have put in a bottom. Tanked into the $20's on liberation day, rebounded into the mid 30's and has held $31.50ish four times since. Currently $35.

The US pressuring countries to not buy Russian oil looks like it could be a tailwind for oil.

RIVN hit 52 week high's yesterday as it continued it's post earnings rip.

Giving back 8% today. Holding $16 would be a win. But continuing a trend of higher lows would a less aggressive, and maybe more sustainable, win. Somewhere in the $14's perhaps.

BBAI bouncing up over $7 again. Bought back in at 6.55, watched it go down to mid 5's and now bouncing up the last 2 days after earnings. This is such a great stock to trade in this range. Had I bought and held I would have made 1/4 as much as I have in this range. One of these days I'm gonna get out again in the mid 7's and probably miss the run up to 30-40.

My SLB calls expire in Jan 2027, so I still have plenty of time for a nice rally. I look at DVN and OXY from time to time. Both look unrealistically cheap.

I was thinking of buying prior to the report.

I wonder when the inflection point happens, ie streaming growth is more robust then legacy declines.

Cheap stock.
Very cheap. If it dips below $100, maybe Jan 2028 calls and hope for a rebound before then?

I can’t understand DIS strategy. No new ideas - Toy Story 5 and Frozen 3 - seriously? Freakier Friday?! Destroyed the Marvel brand. Star Wars is a cluttered mess. D+ is now basically ABC, FX, Hulu mashed with Disney original content. Love the parks experience just glad I can afford to take the family there because it’s a small fortune.

Saylor pumping hard on CNBC…stablecoins and gold’s resurgence makes the BTC picture even blurrier. Companies like FIGR tokenizing assets and issuing $YLDS.
Saylor's business model is probably the big risk for BTC right now. I never really understood the value in what he is doing. If MSTR crashes, BTC will be impacted (at least for some amount of time).

Saylor comparing BTC to Manhattan real estate is maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Stablecoins are the real future of “crypto.”
At least Saylor didn’t mention Fibonacci though so he should get some credit.🤔😬
Totally agree - I’ve traded in and out of FIGR but now building a long position. It’s got a real blockchain use case and tokenizing mortgages makes perfect sense. BTC serves no purpose and physical gold will never be supplanted.

Will be interesting to see if people prefer using a chain that is essentially privately owned like Figr versus something on a public chain like Securitize, Ondo, Maple, etc

Some guy on CNBC recently basically said the once doomed traditional financial networks will be the biggest beneficiaries to serve as the pipes for crypto/stablecoin transactions because they are trusted, regulated and have real security. Private over public. But IDK enough about the “pipes” I just really like FIGR business model and they reported great numbers today.

Like western Union? Public pipes, private company would be my bet
