@BR03261985@roamingnoem my apples to oranges example was piggy backing off the common idiom of "comparing apples to oranges". don't take it too literally by the fruit example. its just a placeholder for my argument
Beef to pork is apples to oranges. If I want an apple but its too expensive I'm not substituting with an orange. However, they are both fruit so an underlying positive price correlation will always be present.
Kim Kardashian has 364 million instagram followers. She reportedly charges $1.6 mil for a sponsored post. I propose @NPPC highlights the nutritional benefits of pork in a sponsored post by the curvaceous Kim and see what happens. Time to think outside the box. Need to adapt
@KINGS1973 That is probably the most compelling argument - how retailers respond to the price ratio to incentive the consumer. I’m sure some are far more experienced than others in how they price items on the shelf
Weird fact: Today is the 9th consecutive day of topside cash staying steady at $80. Last time we held topside steady for longer was 10 years ago in Jun of 2013 with a topside of $104 for 11 days. Carry on.
@LorenDempster macro selling probably does play a role today but plenty of fundamental concerns imo. I'm negative before i'm positive. 2024 only looks good if we suck enough beforehand. Yin and yang baby
@LorenDempster If you are speaking technical picture, we didn't trade higher than yesterday's high before heading to the shadow realm so the answer is no. If you are asking if I'm outside sipping a mojito right now while I trade this market the answer is yes.
