S&P gonna close above 5,000 today?
Market technicians have been bitching about bad breath, spx scored another new high with only 34 percent of nyse rising , a neg divergence . Add in lower high for the NYSE advance decline sets up another neg against a higher NYA. NASDQ was ditto on the a/d new highs also

and DIsney pops with a nice ER, for those of you who care more about making money than addressing your cultural greivances :cheers:
Your calls are horrible, man. Anyone buying on your advice is going to be poor unless it's play money (you sound poor). Sure, they boosted share price with layoffs and charging customers more, but it's down by about half from its peak in 2021.

lol, Disney turns in a good ER and sideswipes your whole narrative:roflmao: try not to take it personally
Yep, layoffs boost share price in the traditional corporate world. You're not a genius for noticing this.

Seems like you knew a good ER was coming. In anticipation of this, how many shares did you buy, what date did you buy them, and what price did you pay?

i had no idea what was coming. why would i?

edit: not to mention that if i knew what was in the ER prior to it's release, and then acted upon it, that would be illegal. which means that's a particularly dumb question, even for you.

That’s not true as a rule at all. Layoffs often lead to lower stock prices because they signal weakness in a company’s performance.

At best, layoffs are more likely to lead to share increases when they amount to more than 2-3% of the total workforce AND are coupled with the announcement of a strategic repositioning.

So you’re just awaring me that Disney had a good earnings call and the share price is porpoising around 2014 levels, not that you made any money off of this share price increase. If it’s any consolation, you would’ve paid most of the share price increase in taxes since capital gains are taxed as ordinary income in CA.

What are you showing me? It IPO'd at tenbux and now it's up to $16, but the time to really profit was 3 years ago in January of 2021.

That's when I made my money off it, bought a bunch of shares and out of the money calls right after it was listed on a whim, sold around 25 and now I'm done with it. Seems like w/ all the government contracts they are kind of limited in terms of commercial growth.
