You have been wrong this entire thread. And the one before this one. The readers can't absorb 15% moves waiting for your calls to be right.
Its like AMTX. You told folks to buy at $9. It dropped below $5. It never would have bounced back without this new Bill in Congress. You predicted that? Pfff... any trader got stopped out on the 40% drop. This is a horrible way to manage a portfolio. Stoney I know plenty of real "pro's", Ivy League types a few of them, this is not the way they do it.
Pull up a 20 year chart of the S&P. Of course you'll be right eventually saying "we will go higher". Your portfolio has basically matched my granny IRA's in the last two months. Your 18 picks... they matched the market Stoney for the sectors they were in. You're delusional if you think otherwise. I mean I threw GE out as an idea when you did BA.... GE outperformed it.

‘We are in a recession’: Long-time bull Cathie Wood is warning investors about the ‘big problem’ in today's economy. Also agrees to Naked And Afraid episode with Van! ‘We are in a recession’: And I look forward to talking around the fire naked. Real GDP in the U.S. declined at an annual rate of 0.9% in Q2 – and that’s after a 1.6% drop in Q1. While politicians refuse to use the “R” word, plenty of experts – including Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood – are calling for a recession. In fact, she made the call even before the official data came out. “We think we are in a recession,” Wood said in a recent CNBC interview. “We think a big problem out there is inventories — the increase of which I’ve never seen this large in my career. I’ve been around for 45 years.” Based on how markets are doing,sentiment is certainly bearish. The S&P 500 is down 14% year to date. Wood’s flagship fund Ark Innovation ETF (ARKK) tumbled by 49% during the same period. But investors are not giving up. CNBC noted Fact Set data showing that ARKK saw over $180 million in inflows in June. “I think the inflows are happening because our clients have been diversifying away from broad-based benchmarks like the Nasdaq 100,” says Wood. “We are dedicated completely to disruptive innovation. Innovation solves problems.”
2. Ross Stores Ross has around 1,900 stores across the country, and this year it plans to add another 100 locations. The allure of its retail stores is that they offer name-brand apparel that is between 20% and 70% lower than what consumers will find at department stores. So in the midst of the worst inflation seen in decades, Ross' stores could offer consumers a way to keep their costs down and lessen the blow to their budgets. Like Johnson & Johnson, Ross was a market-beating stock during the Great Recession. Not only did it outperform, but it also generated positive returns of 50%. But things have been much different in 2022 with Ross' 28% decline being far worse than the S&P 500's more modest fall of 17%. Part of the reason is likely to do with the bearish outlook on retail stocks. Target's rising inventory levels may have spooked some investors as that stock's decline of 32% this year is even worse. Ross is facing challenges as well; its sales totaled $4.3 billion and were down 4% year over year in the period ended April 30. And the company is projecting that its top line will fall between 4% and 6% for the current quarter. CEO Barbara Rentler is taking a conservative outlook given the uncertainty in the economy right now, which is a sound strategy. Investors should welcome some conservatism because it doesn't set the company up for lofty targets that might be difficult to reach. And at the same time, it could also make it easier for Ross to deliver better-than-expected numbers. Although shares are down big right now, Ross has the potential to outperform in the second half of this year as rising inflation could bring in more cash-strapped shoppers to its stores. And unlike big-box retailer Target, which needs to load up on certain inventory for the busy holiday season, Ross' customers familiar with the treasure-hunt experience know not to expect too much consistency from its offerings -- and that can play to its favor as it stocks its stores with what makes sense financially. Trading at 18 times earnings, Ross isn't a dirt cheap buy (Target trades at 13 times its profits), but it's a stock that has the potential to be a great investment right now.
