Unfortunately, Solar and China ( WIMI ) won’t get any love for awhile
Actually, WIMI ( along with it subsidiary MLGO ) have truly advanced cutting edge quantum research… They just need to get it out there

Some people on fintwit are suggesting $TSLA is down 5% today because of his “Nazi salute”.

Could alienate potential future customers.

Yeah….it’s a good thing he wasn’t scratching his crotch in Melania’s direction… he’d lose most of the women customers…. What a media shit show…if they want Fascist go to Hamas in Gaza or North Korea

Tim cook was there too. Just not next to the cool kids.

PS the Dems will take this playbook and run with it in 2028. CEOs will forever be attached to candidates from here forward, unless laws are passed.

Same as always. Just in plain view now.

Watch oil and nat gas. If margins compress with drill baby drill, but freedom to export USA oil and nat gas may expand the top line enough.

The Trump Inauguration speech has set the bar stunningly, aggressively high.

I am not opposed to much of the content —I agree with it — but let’s be practical: Reality has a way of balancing the scales. Congress, and in some cases the States, must approve the President’s words. Other countries must agree to accept Trump’s international ambitions.

But let’s sit back and take in the show. Enjoy.

WIR #2 .2025 has been ready to send, but for a couple of hours I have been stuck deciding which way to go with the typesetting. I’m not going to hire a professional typesetter like I did with the books, because the job scheduling and turnaround time for a weekly are impossible. I can buy the software and do this job myself or find a retired professional typesetter with the time and probably the software. This is a tough decision because an educational group I hope to get involved with could solve the problem immediately. Maybe I will release it myself tonight with a few more easy typesetting corrections in the type size. After all, these are templates I am building, not finished reports.

Some of you might recall when many years ago, I was flustered preparing to move to the Bahamas when I commented here that I needed an assistant. Just a few hours later, I received an email from a name I didn’t know, saying “I’ll be your gopher!” I replied by asking what was his experience. I almost fell off my chair when he said he was resident chief of the Cape Cod School of Writers, or something like that, and that he was known as the edior of Peanuts, the world famous cartoon strip, following the death of Charles Schulz. That was Wally Exman who became a good friend. He even scripted an important paper for me to a bank in Nassau. Lovely person.

Citi Announces $20B Buyback: A Sign of the Top?

Citigroup lowered a profitability target central to CEO Jane Fraser’s plan to turn around the bank but offered investors a ‘sweetener’ in share buybacks. That’s quite a cover story.

Every time I see Humongous Bank & Broker announcing a major stock buyback near a cycle top, I say that’s the top. The Directors have decided to use the company treasury to buy shares – blocks of shares that major accounts, friends, and family could not offer for sale on the market without knocking the price down.

Whether looking at linear or log scale the stock for C is just a disaster. Many long term “investors” are prob still trapped from before the gfc.

Trump launches $TRUMP crypto coin.

This weekend before his Inauguration, Trump began selling this crypto coin with a market cap exceeding $5 billion. If securities regulators have not approved it, I’m sure they will this week.

80% of the coins are owned by a series of companies he formed this month. The Jan. 6 incorporation date shows he knows how to stick to people.

He calls it a celebration of his presidency. I wonder what you call it?

Looks like Intel may have put in a bottom. Up over 9% on almost 2.3x normal volume. Stock not attractive to hold. Financials have been a disaster over the last 5 years. Is this kind of action a stock buyback or institutional buying? Is there a good place to research this? Plan to take a long call position in mid 20’s.

INTC
INTC2

INTC, have looked at this stock nine ways from Sunday and passed on it. They canned the former CEO under whose guidance the shares lost over 60%. There was speculation on Friday that it might be a takeover target (by whom, is unknown). If no buyout materializes, needs a longer term view, meaning 3 to 5 years for recovery. They are a great company, heavily invested in chip foundries but lag behind in AI and other areas.

I would add that there are several blue-chip names from “yesterday” that are well knocked off in price but pay generous dividends and still have good businesses. CVS, DOW, PFE and KHC are a few examples. I would add in BTI but its too close to its 52-wk high right now. Looking over BMY and VZ too.

I am also waiting for Trump to settle in before taking any positions. His presence and policies add a lot of uncertainty to the markets, but a portfolio built around the above names could provide a 6-7% yield while waiting for price recovery. I mostly avoid the MAG7 and any stocks trading with 3-digit price tags.

Chris

Thank you both for the feedback. Looking at a March/April call option for INTC @ 24. Seems like a low-risk trade if bottom is in. I looked at BMY and did not like the outlook for the next couple years. If I recall, there was some big brand drugs dropping off with nothing in the pipeline to replace it.

Just be careful with Intel. It took 14 years for buyers to break even during dot com boom bust if they didn’t have sell rules.

I missed this earlier in the week but reports indicate that the Malian govt seized some 3 Metric tons of gold from Barrick’s Loulo-Gounkoto mine, which is now shut down. That’s about 500k oz per yr of production, or roughly 12.5% of Barrick’s annual pull.

Canadian oilers I keep an eye on but looming tariffs weighing on them a bit. They need better pipelines to the coast + terminals to open export markets in the Far East, right now they export heavily to the US.

Potential new Conservative govt would be more business friendly compared to the green agenda of the Liberal govt. Forced election likely by early April.
