MASTER CLASS- HIP TO BE SQUARE- My dear friend Mr Mizuho came to me for dinner. He told me Block upgraded to Buy from Neutral. I said Dear Mr Mizuho you are so conservative are you sure a two step upgrade from Neutral all the way to Buy. Yes that is so. Then he left before eating. Square and The Holy Grail.- "SQ remains uniquely positioned to achieve the 'holy grail' of creating a one-stop-shop network by connecting the point-of-sale, Cash App and buy now, pay later," Mizuho Securities analyst Dan Dolev said in a note to clients. The Square consumer Cash App helps individuals manage money, buy stocks and cryptocurrency, and more. Cash App has 47 million monthly active users Block acquired consumer lending firm Afterpay in 2022. It competes in the buy now, pay later market. This market offers consumer installment payment plans. SQ Stock: Cash App Growth "Our concerns over sustainability of Cash App revenue remain," Dolev added. "However, we applaud management's recent commitment to cost-containment." In addition, Square management recently outlined a new long-term investment framework, which will put the company on the road to higher quality earnings under GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) accounting rules. Square stock has gained 19% in 2023 after tumbling 61% last year. GBA UPGRADE SQ- @$74 Block, Inc. (SQ) NYSE - Nasdaq Real Time Price. 73.98-1.11(-1.48%) Square call volume above normal and directionally bullish 10:45 SQ Bullish option flow detected in Square with 23,228 calls trading, 1.2x expected, and implied vol increasing almost 4 points to 61.30%. 3/31 weekly 79 calls and Jun-23 95 calls are the most active options, with total volume in those strikes near 10,500 contracts.

Vz-- Really Smart money follows no one! This is what I have learned over my many years doing this. Having been with now 3 or 4 different Hedge Funds.. I can tell you Smart Money follows no one. I rail against this follow the leader mentality to no end. I really despise that side of Hedge funds. Think for yourself.
And it's worked out so well. How'd Lizard King fare on that drop from 4050 to 3850 . When billions and billions of dollars rotate from one sector to the next... the astute, skilled retail player see's that happening, and picks the stocks in that sector that will move the most. But even at that, the real masters, predict the whales' moves in advance. Only VZ called the huge upcoming tech rally over a week ago in the face of collapsing banks. This is a skill you lack Stoney... you follow the herd. The analysts. And that is far from "thinking for oneself." It is the epitome of a retail sucker. I try to help you daily. On a better note... The only call you have made today that has promise is SQ... and I bought that last week on the bank dip.

If you wanted Foot-Locker for a granny stock... you should have bought it at $28. Nothing has changed, that ceo has been there awhile now. At $45, yeah it might go up, it is cheap.... but it will be a slow climb. You missed the big move. Now you want to follow the analysts. Good job thinking for yourself.
Why do we watch the long jump so? What does the long jump tell us about ourselves? You see the white line-- don't cross it or you'll be out.- It's simple, it's beautiful... and we have a new contender.
There is a huge seaweed mass heading for Fla. Sorry Big Pete! This mass has been reeking havoc on Mexico for years. day after day they scrape and burn. I ran across this seaweed on one of my favorite beaches in the world Racetrack on Nevis' Atlantic side. Unsure of what to do the Gov has just given over the mostly unused and hidden beach to the seaweed. In a ever-heating world this Seaweed is a real and ongoing menace. If I was graduating now I might Major in this field.>seaweed control. There is so much you can do with seaweed. https://hakaimagazine.com/features/banking-on-the-seaweed-rush/?utm_source=pocket-newtab
