Good morning lads. I say lads because based on the demographic data provided to me, I have like 3 female readers — the rest of you are degenerate males aimlessly spiraling higher in an effort to re-instate the patriarchy. But it’s too late, fucked faces — Captain Marvel is here.
Funny thing about teevee these days, and please don’t take offense, but it’s normalizing attributes in women that actually do not exist. It’s not like most men can go out there and stab a bunch of zombies in the face either, or that zombies even exist — outside the occasional Miami varietal. One thing I know for certain — it there was a Miami zombie on the loose — it wouldn’t be women fighting it. I can just hear my wife getting angry at me now, but that’s because she too is programmed to believe the absolute shit being driveled on teevee and in movies.
Look at Captain Marvel. Ergo, women are powerful. Women are extraordinary and brave, and honestly the better of the two genders — but they’re not fighting Miami Zombies.
Got some news here early going.
JP Morgan increased their price target on DIS thanks to Avengers. Seriously, there is no upside to be had on DIS. The company is clicking on all cylinders, save ESPN.
J.P. Morgan increased its price target on Disney to $150 a share from $137.
“The underlying business continues to perform very well with several notable catalysts ahead that we believe may continue to drive outperformance,” J.P. Morgan analyst Alexia Quadrani said in a note to investors.
Quadrani said J.P. Morgan was also raising its estimates for Disney’s third quarter earnings to $1.80 a share from $1.73 a shares, specifically citing “Avengers: Endgame.”
Next up Trump’s trade war. Why hasn’t this trade war adversely affected China or the US? How is this possible? We were told doom would beckon quickly and that we wouldn’t be able tp escape the pangs — yet here we are at +3.2% GDP.
News coming soon, apparently.
“We’re getting into the final laps,” U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was quoted by the New York Times as saying, during an interview at the Milken Institute Global Conference.
According to the report, Mnuchin said that while both countries are nearing a deal, negotiations are reaching a stage where either an agreement could happen — or it could end without a deal.
Both Mnuchin and U.S Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer will be in Beijing for talks that start on April 30.
Lastly, some morons at Barclay’s, who fashions himself “the biggest bear” on Target — is now upgrading shares and suggesting the stock could rise by 50%. How can someone be this wrong and now advertise it like it’s cool — because he was such a bear? Target is Target, bland, standard big box retailer — catering to the whims of locals with average goods for cheap prices. No one with money shops there, lest they need some detergent or bar soap — or cat litter.
Barclays’ Matthew McClintock upgraded Target to overweight from equal weight and raised his 12-month price projection to $115 a share from $85. The new target represents a 49% surge from Friday’s close of $77.12.
In a portion of the report entitled “Why the biggest bear on TGT finally upgraded the stock,” the analyst goes on to say that the recent decline in Target shares after Amazon’s said it was moving toward one-day shipping for Prime customers has gone too far. Target shares are down more than 5% in the last week.
“We have now decided with the pullback in the stock due to recent Amazon fears, our expected downside from this near-term view is meaningfully derisked,” he wrote. Target “is already ahead of AMZN in same day delivery … and has built a supply chain that fulfills e-commerce primarily from stores (where next-day delivery is much easier), which stands in contrast to most retailers.”
Futures are slightly lower.

whenever I forward your blog ramblings to my g/f, she is highly amused … she likes your take on life and the world, thinks you’re a talented writer and hysterical to boot
You have a smart GF
Good job juice, it’s best to share most stuff with your significant other (not all) or else you’re up to something you should not be up to. The fact that you both like The Fly and what he writes means your’re probably well suited for eachother.
Love it, fly. We ‘degenerate males aimlessly spiraling higher in an effort to re-instate the patriarchy’ need a leader. I’ve checked with my wife and it’s OK – lead on!
Yea, Netflix is chuck full of that power pussy bullshit.
Really, upgrading DIS now? Talk about late to the ballgame. I’ve been stating te DIS is WAY undervalued comaped to NFLX for over a year now. Given the huge publicity of Endgame and Dis recetn annoucncement of it’s new streaming service, the timing of this is awful (unless you are trying to unload DIS shares).
Anyone following Golman’s *free* advice is gettign what they paid for.
You ahve to remember that
+$1 in stock price = +$1.8B in market cap
and there’s only so much profit that one movie (even including merchandising) can make.
Tar-ghey is a good spot to shop at, prices are reasonable and they get you with that red card, online shop and pickup etc. You visit some of these Walmarts and you feel like you are taking your life into your own hands just to save a couple bucks.
In the end, people are going to be getting their degrees at Costco, like Idiocracy. Long live the patriarchy! Hahah, somebody has to win, there is no such thing as equality!
There are only Three of us?
Never has bothered me. Most men are more amusing than women. I have an exact 50-50 gender ratio of friends. Mind you, 1 of my male friends is gay but he’s all man. We have a pact that we’l live together when we are 80 if we’re both single. I have two girlfriends who are a hoot! They are my best friends. Both lived wild lives most men can only dream of. I love their tales of dating and partying. I was always a good girl..Go Girl Power!
