#CPI#inflation comes in at 6.4% vs 6.2% est
Historically (since 2019) after 10-20bps miss, $QQQ was lower 83% of the time, on avg -0.7% down by day 1 and 2 after the release
I have a bearish outlook, and long some puts
@CalgaryLeveen@LionheartInves1 I was thinking more the gap will close because equity should converge with debt at these levels
Probably end up with a haircutted exchange for these 2025 notes and maturity will get pushed out
I don’t see them getting repaid in full, on a quick look
@LionheartInves1 $PLAB Photronics
Net cash position, makes photo masks (a component in chip production)
Trades at 4x EBITDA - because growth rate not best in class plus significant exposure to production and demand in China
Revenue growth of 10-20%, recently accelerated
I think 4x is cheap
@CL_fTrader Interesting
This varies a lot by location, US is v different from the rest of the world
Like in many other countries, there’s a slowdown for sure
@StraniusC@MarhelmData Could be pressured to ramp up capex or some sort of additional taxes or reduce product pricing on domestic market
I’m not too familiar with how state shapes policy on these matters in latam
Some ppl talking about $CS “going under”
Utter bs imo - 1) these deposits aren’t going anywhere (kantonalbanks?! 🤡) 2) obv if any panic came to be CB wld backstop, 3) it’s ~$700bn of deposits - 3x of midsized US regional bank
I expect mean reversion to red after “rescue of CS”
@calvinfroedge I think depends on educational level ultimately
In Switzerland democracy works well
Recent problems are in societies where voter skill level has deteriorated and ppl for for idiotic policies
@calvinfroedge To me Switzerland is probably the best system
Direct democracy with ability to call a referendum on anything
Educated electorate so no idiotic populist policies
