Stoney!!! Remember what I predicted earlier this week.... GDP will come in better than expected. We shall see.
Damn that guy was right- WING went from $90---$99 after he recommended it. Wingstop reports Q2 adjusted EPS 45c, consensus 36c 08:05 WING I thought he had the story backwards-- gave me a big pitch then I heard on the radio Chicken prices were up not down he was telling me down-- $98.00 <---------
Hi Van remember last week late when I said my work shows a big up week this week and a big day yesterday (biggest of the year).... But perhaps trouble on Thurs? We have alot going on-- GDP is huge. What is expected? It's hard to be better than expected if we can't understand what is expected-- some negative number-- very slightly negative whatever the number is they will argue these new arguments that Two successive reads of negative growth does not mean recession. The new interpretation is every recession has two qts of negative growth they all start that way but you don't have to go into recession if you graze negative and then recover--- I might be a bit on the limb here but Why Did Joe Manchun change his tune? He was firmly in the camp of tamping down inflataion that all this money give away causes the inflation and nothing he was going to do would aid inflation-- he was against it. Flat out. Then he changed. New round of spending- why? Well.. A) Manchun has seen some secret numbers that indicate inflation IS COMING DOWN! B) Manchn has seen some secret numbers that the economy is heading into the dumps and needs helicopter funding fast. Or both.

Doesn't matter, whatever it is, it's coming in "better than expected". I think logically the number cannot be better than expected if we don't know what is expected. What I would like to see is some fractional positive growth under 1%... something pathetic like 0.82 Positive
Pilots are really hard to find... JetBlue just found a bunch JetBlue sees $600M-$700M in annual synergies, accretion to earnings in year one 06:36 JBLU JetBlue "announced it will acquire Spirit for $33.50 to up to $34.15 per share in cash, depending on the timing of closing, including 1) an accelerated prepayment of $2.50 per share in cash, payable promptly after Spirit's stockholders approve the transaction, and 2) a ticking fee prepayment of $0.10 per share per month between January 2023 and the consummation or termination of the transaction. In the event the transaction is consummated on or before December 2023, the transaction consideration will be $33.50 per share, increasing over time to up to $34.15 per share, in the event the transaction is consummated at the outside date in July 2024. The transaction consideration of $33.50 per share implies an aggregate fully diluted equity value of approximately $3.8 billion3 and an adjusted enterprise value of $7.6 billion. JetBlue expects to achieve $600M-700M in net annual synergies once integration is complete, driven in large part by expanded customer offerings resulting from the greater breadth and depth of the combined network. The combined company is projected to have annual revenues of approximately $11.9 billion based on 2019 revenues. JetBlue expects the transaction to be significantly accretive to earnings per share in the first full year following closing. JetBlue expects to maintain balance sheet flexibility with post-transaction leverage of 3.0-3.5x, well inside historical levels, and to continue its deleveraging trajectory as it captures synergies."
