CarMax Puts?

 Here is the number. Call in to listen to their just released quarterly report. You won't have to talk to anyone. It is 800-839-1247. In about five days this link will disappear. Please listen to it. I listened to all of it once and to the first half of it two times. What I learned is that their retail car sales on the quarter compared to the same quarter a year were up 6%. They purchased 336.000 vehicles from the public, up 7% and 48.000 from dealers up 38%. Their average retail sale price was $26,100, down $400.00 per vehicle from last year. They doubled their share buy back program. AI technologies are now helping them operate more efficiently. Everything seems positive. But wait, we are talking about  the used car business and what could happen if consumer confidence suddenly starts to wain? Look at it's three year chart.

Deere Lays Off /Tesla / Eli Lilly/ Home Depot/ Nio

It was announced today, a Tuesday that Deere is going to lay off some of it's workers. Perhaps that news was leaked out last Friday and that's why it could have sold off last Friday afternoon.
The stock basically has done nothing over the last three years but some traders love it for it's thirty day swings. I have talked about Deere before.
The markets were accepting of this news. In other news Tesla Call option traders are rejoicing.
Image getting in two trading sessions ago at $196.00 to watching it shot up to over $230.00? This was (it's up in the premarkets again) the Telsa trading opportunity of the year! Then there is upside movement in Eli Lilly.
But then there is this background news.
Now this. Talk of a hurricane. Will Home Depot go up?
Then there is Nio. It's shares trade huge volumes and the stock has a wide following. Might it trade back up to $6.00?
It's down almost half price on the year. One of the problems in trying to anticipate what might happen to it's share price movement is that we don't really understand the dynamics of their markets.Nor do we understand in North America how quickly China is going electric.
China continues to grow it's E.V. numbers. Visit the NIO website. *Now this. Chatter about the future of E.V's. This time it's a Ford executive talking about it's state of affairs.
Ford executives have a history of confusing their shareholders.
