Devon beat
The company's board raised its fixed-plus-variable quarterly dividend by 22% to a record high of $1.55 per share, payable Sept. 30 to shareholders of record on Sept. 12.
For 2022, Devon has increased its full-year 2022 production forecast by 3% to be between 600,000 and 610,000 barrels of oil per day, citing "better-than-expected well performance year-to-date and the impact from a bolt-on acquisition in the Williston Basin."
Devon Energy's (DVN) production increase announcement came as a surprise, as energy traders were getting used to reports of production shortfalls, according to Moya. The news could indicate the oil market getting closer to balance, especially after Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) also noted that their production would be higher,
Diamondback Energy beat estimated earnings by 6.8%, reporting an EPS of $7.07 versus an estimate of $6.62.
Revenue was up $1.09 billion from the same period last year.
Mos
Mosaic missed estimated earnings by 9.23%, reporting an EPS of $3.64 versus an estimate of $4.01.
Revenue was up $2.57 billion from the same period last year.

Uber - cash flow positive for the first time … up5% yesterday and shares soaring now - big beat
The number of drivers and delivery agents on its platform rose 31% to an all-time high of almost 5 million, allaying concerns that soaring gas prices was deterring them from signing up with the company.
"That's right: more people are earning on Uber (UBER) today than before the pandemic," Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi said.
Cat down - missed revenue and is down and said supply chain issues exist
- Danaos (DAC) on Monday reported an adjusted EPS of $7.59 per share in Q2, up from $3.34 per share a year earlier. Analysts polled by Capital IQ expected $5.86 got the quarter.

$MOS - with food costs going up. But we’ve had a bumper crop and Putin let grain come out of Ukraine so it’s clear he just wants to use energy as his leverage tool against Europe and the world
$Lthm Tuesday earnings - lithium… is this a good one?
$SFM earnings on Thursday - look at Walmart saying they saw an increase in customers going to them for groceries… also look at Krogers… I love sprouts but groceries are such a low margin business that I think the mission is better than the business.

Wanna make money? Buy Apple, Amazon and oil before earnings - Market update 7-29-22
The key point from the inflation reading is that the economy is weakening much faster than anyone expected. That’s the key point to the fact the fed may not need to raise as fast as once thought.
Mohammad Alerian thinks the Fed is going to be behind
$Intc - just an extremely ugly quarter and most likely the worst quarter since it’s been a company … gelsinger the ceo hasn’t turned things around and is paid a fortune for this? How long is his runway? They gave horrible guidance ..: guy adomi quote “I don’t know what the hell they are doing .. margins at 9% vs street looking at 18% … they couldn’t intentionally do worse”
$Apple - not as bad as expected … if we open above $160 we are going to $180 - they see inflation and they are still hiring but on a deliberate basis … apple is above its 200 day moving average
$Amzn - way up on earnings and says demand increases unlike Walmart so it looks much different - if we open above $140 that is going to mean a good run here
$Roku way down near $60 - it’s up slightly but they are expecting advertising to reduce and does this become a takeover but it’s mainly hardware … who wants that?
$Tqqq up at $32 so you’ve got incredible week so far
$Kold had a big day
$Run and other solar stocks were just killing it with the manchin agreement
$Plug up 20%
$Tsla up with the new spending bill including ev credits without the Union provision

$Gety images way up
Kind of agree with bill Ackman on this market …. If we see inflation even close in the next month without a fed meeting … we will see the crash I assumed happens … but until then … trade the trend - and FYI- Ackman has Covid
$Ethe
$Gs
$EPD - great dividend
Nat gas plays emember - $BOIL - $CRK and $VET are also $LNG plays

Have we seen the bottom? S&P chart analysis - Market update 7-28-22
Be forewarned - the volume goes way up about 5 min in. I had a microphone problem and had to raise the gain.
Crazy rally after Powell said no recession
Honestly - I didn’t see this at all but $tqqq had confirmation all day … I was not trading but again - this is once in a lifetime to get Google at these prices
Specific to growth and tech
Remember that June rally reversed next day
$Qcom beat but guidance down so it lost a little after hours - qualcom is expanding to automotive
$Meta missed earnings on top and bottom- Sheryl Sandburg leaving is a very clear sign things are not going right - guidance coming in lighter as well
$F beat earnings - hype play
Jeffrey gundlach who was a crazy bear has now become a bull and said the fed can do this and we may be ready to say from here you will be up at the end of thr year … but the s&p crossed 4000 so personally I don’t know
He thinks the year will end at 3% fed rate … we are at 2.25% right now
Utility $SO beat earnings
Spirit airlines ($SAVE) terminated deal with frontier … activision blizzard still on and Twitter … and jet blue will pay $33 per share to shareholders of save (spirit)
$AAPL hires lambo exec for obvious apple car
$AMZN - not worth the risk of buying before earnings
$BOIL $CRK $VET $LNG - all great Natural Gas plays
$DVN - over $60 before earnings
$OXY - over $60
$XOM and $CVX have earnings tomorrow - this should be huge
Ftx launched stock trading …. They are charging a trade % so it’s not free trades

How to find stocks to invest in your every day life - LNG is such a no brainer - Market update 7-27-22
$MCD - perfect example of how to invest with my story of $1 drinks
$KO - investment - not a trade - and a very good one
$SNOW - still like this
$MU - you've gotten your 10% on this trade.
$AMZN and $MSFT - the traders on CNBC make good points - probably not good to hold short term - it’s going to be tough because of the multiples - but if you are investing for more than a year - putting up with short term volatility is your best bet
Josh Brown buys $LNG - above $150 is a breakout - he talked about moving LNG over to Europe. We are producing it at $6 and LNG is best positioned to move it over there.
He said it’s a supply/demand play - and Cheniere is who fixes the log jam
Remember - $BOIL - $CRK and $VET are also nat gas plays
$CME - crazy good quarter - $9.30 per share - restaurant sales up 10% ….they are doing incredible with horrifically horrible burritos. I’m not a fan
$V - beat - down 2% but nothing that says buy the stock
$GOOG missed by 6% but that was priced in
$MSFT missed - there’s nothing good in the stock that says buy it now - but good for long term
Everything in the market is just blah - there’s nothing that says you have to trade…be patient
With $AMZN - wait to see what they say and THEN trade it…no reason to chance things
$META - I like it since it’s been down - but again - no need to rush in
$AAPL - got a new iPhone - I’m the moron that buys right before the new one comes out and pays full price
$BA missed earnings but cash flow is better than expected so the stock is up 4% in pre market
Elliot who built a position in pins has now gotten into to $PYPL
Nat gas is up to $60 in Europe…
$RIO profit falls and cuts guidance on weak sales of iron ore - no reason to keep watching this
$ENPH up 10% on strong earnings
VIX at 24 so $UVXY is doing poorly - wants to be at 30
Fed decision today
$TQQQ way up in pre market
Your plays for day trading
$UPRO - Bull S&P
$SPXU - Bear S&P
$TQQQ - Bull Nasdaq
$SQQQ - Bear Nasdaq
$SARK - Bear for high multiple growth
$UVXY - when the VIX rises - typically on large down days

$IWM from Trendspider is trending on the 50day EMA - IWM is a small cap ETF
$Wmt way down after hours dragging down target kohls and amazon with it. Walmart said it now anticipates adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter and full year to decline around 8% to 9% and 11% to 13%, respectively. It had previously expected them to be flat to up slightly for the second quarter and to drop by 1% for the full year.
Walmart stock drop is most in 1 day in over 20 years
inflation is causing shoppers to spend more on necessities like food and less on items like clothing and electronics
This may be an opportunity to buy quality retailers on the dip like $cost $m and imo $TGT may be a buy because it might be a Walmart problem …target may have already been through this
$Tslq - should have mentioned yesterday when it was up so much
Oil up 2% again
Russia is going to slow nat gas flow to 20% …. That’s a 50% drop so Putin is def going to shut this off before winter
Dutch contracts on future are $53 per mega watt and we are paying $8
Fed kicks off meeting today and tomorrow is their decision
John Oliver show is a master class on inflation
Politically the big story is the White House is trying to change the definition of a recession … they are trying to say there’s not one because the consumer thinking there’s a recession could make the last leg fall which would drive us in to a recession with people just thinking we may be in or will have one
$Fcx up again
Redfin report says 32% want to move to cities
Top picks Miami Tampa Phoenix Sacramento Las Vegas Cape Coral San Diego
Energy is going to be big because of air conditioning because all these cities are hot
$Gs is still up … you should have made your 10% on this
$Gm misses earnings rather big … this is a company that can’t do things right at all - chip shortage and China lockdowns are what they blame … they pre announced this a few weeks ago - profit margin was 8% vs 10% last year
$Gm is saying their guidance is the same … so no take down of targets or ev estimates. 1 million ev sales in 2025
Only reason to own the stock is for cruise self driving division
$Ups beats big - confirms guidance and increases share repurchase - they are bettering the operations of thr business
$V tonight might be interesting for the economy
$Msft and $GOOG tonight … I like both for long term
$Ge better earnings than expected and down big to start and then it came back
$Rdbx has taken off again

Earnings week - what should you trade this week? Market update 7-25-22
I go over some of the earnings this week:
Tuesday - $GOOG and $MSFT
Wednesday - $QCOM and $META
Thursday - $AAPL and $AMZN
Friday - $XOM and $CVX
Commodities seem to be turning around and $FXC and $RIO seem to be on an uptrend
$SNAP - was it a Snap issue or an overall ad downturn? Did $meta figure this out in Q1 and is that all priced in already?
$KMI - interesting safe 6.7% yield in the energy industry.
$LNG is the best opportunity in the nat gas trade. It's going to continue higher because in the US it's selling at $8 and Europe it's $50 - they will export and make a fortune.
$RevB - up 100% in premarket
$TSLA - crazy that it's this high - but there are reasons - upcoming split and opening chargers up to all EV's
$TQQQ - up at $30 - take your 10% and move if you've had it - I just wonder if 1 earnings report from the big 4's brings this down - it's triple levered
$SIGA - monkeypox trade
$NIO - great trade - just wonder if it's worth the risk with the China government
$SGML - wow - great buy and hold for Lithium - but really good trade with the algo too
$ZIM - at $46
