If the Jets lose tonight and Miami or Indi wins - they are eliminated from the playoffs. Which would be the 10th straight year out of the playoffs. The only longer drought was from 1970-1980. #impressive

Housing numbers continue to impress up 26.6% y/y and best levels since 2006. It's worth watching the very low inventory supplies at just 2.5 months vs "balanced" figure at 3.5 months and the 6.3 months seen in April. #pricing #afforability

$COST - declares a special cash dividend of $10/share for the first time since 2017. Fourth in eight years. May not be a $ZM like name, but yet another reason to own this quality compounder. #winwin

Remarkable what the $PNC team has done to transform the company - taking advantage of lower valuations to gain size and scale. Might look back one day and think inflection. BBVA USA.

$XLE - from the 2014 peak to the 2020 low the energy sector was down 96%. Wouldn't take much to rally a bit in this rotation.

Seems to me that when losing teams scores a touchdown each and everyone should stay humble. From an investment perspective that’s all I am each and every day.
