BIG TECH TO THE RESCUE; MARKETS SURGE IN AFTER HOURS POST EARNINGS BEATS

Just when you thought it was over, Amazon came through with an earnings miss that pleased markets and caused a surge of 1.9% in the NASDAQ in the AHs, halving the losses endured today.

Some of the highlights.

Apparently, social media isn’t dead just yet, just Facebook.

So now it looks like a massive squeeze will reveal itself in the morning, mostly oversold tech stocks left for dead — like SHOP, AMZN, probably SE and any online retailer. These stocks were behaving like they were shutting down their websites.

That being said, the numbers are old and stale. I am much more interested in what Q3 will look like and dare I say — not as good as Q4 2021.

I closed heavily margined net long hedged with a massive $TZA position just in case, down 30bps for the session.

    Amazons entire bit is now based on their web services. Their North American and International business segments flipped to negative margins starting 2 quarters ago.

      That’s old news isn’t it? AMZN has only ever made real profits on AWS as far as I know.

        The numbers I saw showed the two other major divisions profitable as early as last summer.

    Price action in AMZN SNAP PINS U made no sense today. Glad anyone that stayed short got crushed.
