Draining anal glands, sounds as fun as castrating calves or cleaning horse sheaths. I didn’t mind dehorning or castrating calves.
Welcome to Friday 6/23, and the kick-off of VZ's trademarked "Value-Week" of 2023. The semi-annual portfolio rebalancing of the whales has commenced and a rotation out of the tech high-flyers and into granny stocks will be the way to go. Especially this year as recessionary fears prevail, and we enter the last quarter before Q4 2023---- which as I have said will be a disaster when 45M student loans become payable starting in August. It might turn out to be the worst Q4 in recent history from the standpoint of consumer spending. ~Starting today new long positions should be focused on buying value and not "stories" as the rally winds down and reality sets in. Lots of good short candidates out there among certain tech stocks and other story stocks. Trade accordingly.
Today's buy idea: VWDRY----> $9.17 Vestas Wind Systems Largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world Why buy today? Because of the second largest: Siemens Energy scraps profit outlook as wind turbine troubles deepen June 23, 2023 Expects wind unit issues to cost more than 1 bln eur Continues to face ramp-up issues in offshore wind Frankfurt-listed shares -12.8% FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Siemens Energy, which supplies equipment and services to the power sector, scrapped its 2023 profit outlook after a review of its wind turbine unit exposed deeper than expected problems that could cost more than 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion). Issues at the company's Siemens Gamesa unit have been a drag on the parent, and the announcement marks the latest blow to Siemens Energy's efforts to get these under control following a full takeover of the business. Frankfurt-listed Siemens Energy shares were down 12.8% at 1849 GMT after the announcement, which follows the initial discovery of faulty components at Siemens Gamesa in January that caused a charge of nearly half a billion euros. Siemens Energy said that an extended technical review of Siemens Gamesa's installed turbine fleet and product designs was launched following that is says was a substantial increase in failure rates of components. The company, which was spun off from Siemens (SIEGn.DE), said the review suggests that it will be significantly more expensive than initially thought to reach the desired product quality of certain onshore turbines. This, it said, would incur costs of more than 1 billion euros. "We are also reviewing assumptions critical to the existing business plans given productivity improvements are not materializing to the extent previously expected," Siemens Energy said. "In addition, we continue to experience ramp up challenges in Offshore." ______________________________ Edit: These foreign ADR's are kind of boring, but unfortunately the US lacks a big company outside of GE to suggest, and I doubt it can move the needle much on GE. But it might.
Gm GM. I don't know why it takes a beat for the pros to freak but it always seems to. Today I have lots of messages from portfolio managers & money pros I know who suddenly aren't happy. Why today? The inverted yield curve 2 and 10's? Haven't we been there before. It's curious. But down we go. The mood is very sour.
lol--!!! These are all Chinese plays and Yes I own two of them// AAOI we gummied and made the same amount you lost holding. If you did I'm confused. I guess I'll go recap all of Van's ideas if he wants me to. This is such a dumb exercise. The difference is I actually buy stocks. Van when will you grow up.? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/gba-presents-house-of-gummy.374311/page-204#post-5826467 AAOI -25% https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/gba-presents-house-of-gummy.374311/page-192#post-5825292 IQ -5.7% https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/gba-presents-house-of-gummy.374311/page-193#post-5825322 HUYA -4.3% https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/gba-presents-house-of-gummy.374311/page-169#post-5823854 ATAT -8.7%
