Do people here watch football? Bc the Vikings just won the Super Bowl by signing Daniel Jones and it's kind of a big deal.

A brutal look at Target. Not the company’s pricing or marketing, but basic inventory management — “especially given the prospect of tariffs .. which would require retailers to keep supply chains nimble.”

One month until Christmas.

I lit Santa red to encourage a sense of neighborhood urgency.

Gap saved Christmas from Target. Up 15%, jolly chart.

$MSTR 130pts off today's highs. Firmly in intra-day bear market territory.

Thank you, Oso. Please enjoy "Target Investor" (11/19/2024, Crayon on folded paper placemat)

Brutal quarter from Target. Really disappointing. Better store traffic (yay) and terrible conversion into sales.

We’re getting in to “new management needed” territory.

Walmart says inflation has been flat for the last 4qtrs with deflation in grocery and general merchandise.

Very strong quarter. Shares up a bit pre-market, over 65% higher YTD. Best performance in 25yrs. Bodes well for other retailers reporting this week and next.

Not to mention Christmas. $WMT

Target is going to kick the shit out of earnings next week.

I'm not sure if that kind of thing matters here but there it is.

Merry Christmas.
