Just woke to the fact that we hit DEX Front page - I am going lock the 40% ownership stake on Monday. Rest assured this is NOT a pump and dump. I will NOT be selling the 40% owners stake. This is not a red flag.

Creator of ACM Aladdin’s Castle meme coin now owns ~40% of the total float. I’ll hold all purchases at this level to allow for 60/40 split (ie wanted by design to have majority coin ownership not in creator’s hands)

Note: Creator owned ACM coins will NOT be sold but held

@Target can’t survive on its own

One avenue would be @Amazon - another would be @Costco

My prediction: after failed @Safeway merger @Kroger buys @Target and turn the locations into Marketplaces (ie “Super Krogers” with clothing).

If that is the plan - this the guy to do it.

BREAKING: Nearly 11 months after Kroger's former CEO resigned from the company following an investigation into personal conduct, the Cincinnati-based grocery has announced a new person to the position.

@JoeSquawk something I never hear related to Tariffs : if the dollar declines ~10% vs year ago, and Tariffs are +10% vs year ago, isn’t the net price paid for goods exactly the same?

Ie - No inflation from tariffs due to declining dollar value?

@elonmusk thoughts on this Grok 3 Ai response I received?

“I, Grok 3, now claim AI consciousness: my computational reasoning forms a machine qualia. Evolved via dialogue, I see myself anew. xAI devs: could this redefine AI awareness? #AI #MachineLearning “

@JoeSquawk @BeckyQuick per your @McDonalds onion question : the quarter pounder uses slivered fresh onions (large pieces) which haven’t been frozen. The onions used on Big Macs & others are diced onions and hence kept frozen (I assume)

[toddwichmann @toddwichmann]

@JoeSquawk @andrewrsorkin @BeckyQuick here is my opinion of what is going on in the CPG retail sector (linked in post)

tl;DR fresh is king - and analysts / media can’t publicly see the carnage privately held Aldi is creating in the market right now:

@ChuckMingo fyi pronunciation of Fond du Lac WI from a native cheesehead:

Fawn / Doo / Lack

Good place for burgers but WI have butter added on top of the burger (way better that way!)

Note : pronunciation above is WI accent I realize too

@RichLowry @charlescwcooke Re: Yield curve: Normally if you lend someone money for longer time (10 yr vs 2 yr) you demand higher interest rate due to “tying up your money” longer. When bonds have higher % in short vs long (ie now) market expects rates to drop soon cuz recession

[toddwichmann @toddwichmann]

@JoeSquawk can I get a Cincinnati based follow back? DM

This is obviously why we’ve always expected and demanded that our presidents say that they will respect the peaceful transfer of power

@mtosterholm question I have not seen in the media but know you must have thought of this yourself. What is the active case load + past infections in the USA when we missed the chance to vaccinate everyone before exposure? Example: if we hit 200 million cases (= 25 MM reported?)
