I'm liking these survey results on Stocktwits.

Remember if someone thinks the market is going down, and they put their money where their mouth is, they would have already sold their stocks.

If folks are done selling, the market goes back up.

Just bought 30 of the April 10 $460 QQQ Call Options. Cost about $4.5k. If QQQ trades back toward $490 by the end of next week, those are worth about $90k.

Hoping Trump and co work things out over the weekend. Weeeee!

$SPX BELOW 5400 and testing it now. 5396 low was 5390. We are not even "OVERSOLD" yet on the WEEKLIES! @realzappbrannigan.smokefleet.net @lacentrist.bsky.social @antifapuddinpop.bsky.social @whodat35.bsky.social @browneyegirlhi.bsky.social @jessexpress.bsky.social @hgwood.bsky.social

I am just looking to take advantage of temporarily low prices to pick up more shares of companies I like.

If you have a similar mindset and strategy, I will keep making posts like this you might be interested in.

There are also of course tariff winners. Imagine a company that already manufacture in America an should look better vs foreign goods.

I personally would not try to trade that. Policy can change. Many of those same companies sell over seas too and will be hurt by reciprocal tariffs.

... then if the economy is struggling to cope with the new system, we will see retracements to those second tier support levels. But there is no big obvious gap/drop to fill short term IMO.

All told, it looks like the market retreated back to the logical support level. So I would expect a bounce tomorrow, barring any bad news.

If all tariffs go off again, we potentially shoot much higher.

If not, I think we trade sideways through earnings until the recession is super clear...

$HIMS. First stock I'm looking at that I don't own. 200DMA support.

The stock whipsawed as they stopped being able to sell GLP-1 drugs, but they've now worked out a deal with $LLY.

Could be a Netflix-like moment here. HIMS and the other online drugstores are easier to use than Lilly's new site.

I realize I'm not bothering with resistance lines ABOVE the stock price right now. Maybe telling. We're catching knives right now, so it's not on my mind. Buy when fearful, etc.

Amazon AMZN. Interesting stock. Underperforming the other big tech companies. I guess folks see a move away from AWS and expect some kind of headwind for Amazon's ecommerce biz. Are they more tariff sensitive than others?

Zillow Group (ZG), Jason's stock tip of the year for 2024, has a lot of support at the current price level of $66. Then support at $50 and $40. I'd expect this one to accumulate until rate cuts come hard.

NVDA as a chip maker may be exempt from tariffs. Who knows 🤷‍♂️But will still be impacted if and as the economy weakens.

Support at $100, $75, $50.

I misspoke in my first post here. $400 on the QQQ is the 2022 top. The start of COVID and drop in the market from it needs a 10 year chart now to see it. I'm not used to that.

FWIW, the pre-COVID QQQ high was ~$230. The COVID low was ~$160.

GOOG support every $10 or so from here. $150, $140, $130. I put a line there at the 2023 low, but I feel it would be really hard for the market to push things that low.

Looking for technical support across the stocks and markets I own.

For the QQQ, there is nice support in this ~$450 range. So maybe a bounce coming.

After that, the ~$400 level (conveniently another 10% or so drop) is strong support at the pre-COVID top.

Stripe is trying really hard to stop you disputing chargebacks

@bradw.illiams.com came on the PublishPress podcast and explained how they get major clients to move to the block editor.

The answer? Piece-by-piece. One page at a time. There's no need for expensive migrations.

We're looking for a podcast guest (or two).

Do you run a WordPress business? Have you left X and moved to BlueSky?

That wouldn't be the only topic of the episode, but I'm interested in how people are navigating the new fragmentation.

People don’t ask each other what’s crack-a-lackin like they used to

We only rate dogs. This is clearly a state-of-the-art home security system. Not sure how you got those confused. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10

Don’t Make Me Think Usability, mostly.

Everyone who does anything with websites should read "Don't Make Me Think" by Steve Krug.

Originally released in 2000! The 2013 revision updates the examples, but changes relatively little of the advice.

It holds up extremely well. I reference it all the time.

We're looking into the idea of recording some "WordPress around the world" podcast episodes.

Is there anyone out there from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, or Australia who wants to join us to talk about WordPress news, perhaps once a month?
