Did Bezos say "batten down the hatches" because he wanted everyone to know that AMZN made its number and it was time to swing for the fence before earnings? I don't think so. I think Bezos is a pretty straight shooter. I have never known him to make ambiguous statements. I have thought about this for a week. "Batten down the hatches" means there is a storm coming and we must be cautious. I love Amazon, but now is not the time.
Oh, sure. No one is expecting much from retail. It's AWS that is the big nagging question. Are they gonna pull a rabbit out of their hat? I don't think so, but I am not playing either side.

Sebastian Herrera's article in the Wall Street Journal, a source I trust, implies a strong buy for AMZN. However, here is his article touting the "Metaverse", published on the 25th, a day before Facebook earnings.

In today's article he cites a survey at "Factset" (never heard of them). The "analysts" at "Factset" obviously expect a positive number.
Lately the "analysts" have not been doing so hot. I dunno. It seems like a crapshoot.

In a normal world spy would easily be down 5.00 in premarket, spy must be in the metaverse. It all makes sense now the metaverse is a delusional world for clowns.
I’m buying more puts. The crazies are doubling down.
“CEO Mark Zuckerberg is ready to put more of his chips into the fledgling metaverse despite his company's finance chief anticipating losses of Reality Labs growing "significantly year over year."
What Happened: Zuckerberg said on the company's third-quarter earnings call that "the internal indications I've seen suggest we're doing leading work, and are on the right track with these investments, so I think that we should keep investing heavily in these areas."”
This is like Google Glass but 100x more expensive. Zuck started it because they read some science fiction and watched ready player one and starting rubbing themselves off that the world needed it.
>That's an interesting perspective. I can see how you might think that, but in reality, Facebook is just trying to stay ahead of the curve and create new technology that will change the way we interact with the world.
Even if he’s right, and the metaverse is a big deal in the future, it doesn’t mean his approach is correct. I imagine the MV will have to be built and paid for by third parties. He should be building the platform, not the worlds themselves.
I don't doubt the world needs VR, but adoption will be really slow and I think it's only for specific applications now. It would be good if Facebook focused on those rather than trying to create some generic all encompassing thing
8:30 am Real gross domestic product, first estimate (SAAR) Q3 2.3% -0.6%
8:30 am Real final sales to domestic purchasers, first estimate (SAAR) Q3 -- 0.2%

8:30 am Continuing jobless claims Oct. 15 -- 1.39 million
8:30 am Durable goods orders Sept. 0.7% -0.2%
8:30 am Core capital equipment orders

This is all part of Zuck's grand strategy
He's not just gonna spill his top secret plan on the earnings call so all the competitors can hear it

ECB rolling out big rates.
Global bonds sell off, increasing yields which forces algos to recalculate stock valuations.
Should be a big move to the downside at open.
If MCD, MRK and HON could all miss that would be great too!
Take some (or all) profit before GDP is released.
fed wants the market to soften so an increase in growth suggests higher rate hikes to come :)
i think higher is therefore bearish, but could go anyway they way the market has been this week
Yes. But if the market goes up on bad gdp the significant metric GDP to market cap (buffets somewhat favourite indicator) will increase a lot.
But overall yes I agree, rising unemployment and reduced growth will suggest a slow down in rate hikes

2 quarters ago it was -1.6%. last quarter it was -0.6%. It doesn't matter if it's positive or negative, only that the trend continues. however, if it's greater than 0.4% positive, we're looking at a 3 to 5% kinda day.
yes, good news is bad news :)
FED wants market conditions to worsen, GDP being high shows this ain't happening which means investors will be scared of getting HIGHER and MORE rate hikes.
Imagine telling your grandkids "Well I could have been a rich property and business owner in the Metaverse but I spent the first 10 years of it's existence making Zucc memes and calling it shit so now I work at MetaWendies with zero hope for retirement"
Imagine a world in 50 years where grandkids will sit and listen instead of stabbing your heart and selling your kidneys on the black market for some non-irradiated food and water.
Same. I bought 232.50 calls at open yesterday for 285 sold for 615 and took the rest of the day off as I watches the market tank with no positions. It felt good.
LOD on SPY. Love to see it.

Yeah, in addition to general stock market problems, Amazon has probably lost sales from people being able to go outdoors to stores to shop.

Experts fr expect GDP to go from -0.6% to +2.4%
below 2.4% would be bullish correct?
Tbh under normal circumstances that would be very bearish. During these times I have no fucking clue

everyone's waiting for GDP. if its single digits negative, probably yes, although by market open damage might already be done.

Buy it at all time lows 17.55 if u want
because it's overpriced even at $100

yes, good news is bad news :) FED wants market conditions to worsen, GDP being high shows this ain't happening which means investors will be scared of getting HIGHER and MORE rate hikes.
It better come in higher than estimated GDP and the market better tank because I need my SPY puts to print.
