9. There were buy outs today? I didn't watch, I was in the supermarkets.

Damn I missed Micron MU, up 12 points, and Uber. Most of the dodgy stocks, those without sound earnings, speculative AI, moved up a point or so. I still sense weakness. The "pause" on tariffs doesn't change the leader, the game, the stable genius strategy, the advisers, the problems. We will retreat within a week if not by Friday. I've had good luck this week by waiting for a strong move then countering for a reversal.

Who expected Doofus to reverse course on tariffs today? This whole nonsense has been too concentrated in a short period of time.

I look for signs of the economy in my local stores. Kohl's looked hit by a cyclone, and not much has moved since I was there 2 weeks ago. Clearance rack had many of the exact same items. Retailers are playing games to grab $. Shelf sale price not taken at register. It was only a buck, and some other prices were excellent as I caught a sale, so I didn't waste time on complaining. But this goes on regularly. Some department manager wants to make bonus so he instructs workers to over price, misprice. That's my guess.
