I’ve done pretty well with amazon the last few weeks. I think my new strategy is wait for Trump to shit on any company with strong fundamentals, wait for the fall, then buy in and watch it recover. ---

Pulled whatever I had open just before the big drop at beginning of year, just put some back in play. The econ data ATM doesn’t support a recession theory, we may have had a fire sale here. Something to note, govt is pumping the sub 4% unemployment number as a pro and stating we haven’t been this low since 2000. This is true, we haven’t been this low since 2000…just before the recession. Stay alert, stay nimble and always carry lube with you as an investor. lol ---

I sold my 10k shares a couple years ago. Their stock has been stagnant as fuck since day 1. Not sure why. They seem pretty busy all the time. Used to be my go to spot when I was single, like shooting fish in a barrel, full of hipster chicks who were mad at their dads for various reasons. Not sure what unionizing is going to do for them. Maybe I should start getting a couple shares here and there again. Maybe being unionized will stabilize their incomes and reduce their high turnover. But if they behave like the unions I’m used to working with, get ready for - ‘I can’t make his coffee, I’m already making one!’ ‘Uh excuse me I’m not certified to make a sandwich with meat, that’s evil’ And my favorite - ‘are you harassing me? I demand to speak to my committee man!’ ---

A recession will come, it’s natural. Some would prefer in the next year so it hurts Trump’s re-election chances. Impossible to say when. But after the last bond yeild inversion it took what, 18 months? I’m not worried. Not going to give up potentially a years+ worth of gains to sit on the sidelines because some asshole screams the sky is falling on TV. ---

I think Ubers long game has huge upside. Eventually they’ll get to the point with self driving cars that I think the cars owner per household will go down and it’ll be companies like Uber holding the keys. ---

hard to say. uber is one of the most popular apps in the world and it is on almost everyone’s main screen of their phone and it could lead to hailing pretty much anything (a ride, food, etc. etc.). i don’t see ownership of the autonomous vehicles being as profitable though, maybe just the software behind it. in auto collision there is widespread concern about the future of vehicle ownership. i beleive that in the near future the ownership of vehicles (and the decision of where they get repaired) will be consolidated away from individual owners to fleet management companies. i do recall that many of the ubers and lyft’s of the world have fleet management arrangements with the likes of Hertz and Enterprise who have intense, global infrastructure around controlling the life-cycle of transporation assets.
