Today’s Census print on single-family housing starts was a head-scratcher. Homebuilders we survey (consistent sample size with minimal noise) saw starts per community drop -13% YOY nationally in July, with all regions falling except for the Midwest. In order for the Census data to be correct on July single-family starts +7% YOY (NSA), builders would need to grow community counts ~+20% YOY, which is very hard to believe and doesn’t match what we're hearing, even from the big builders.

Checking in to see how this one is being received... 😬
A lot of ppl on here seem absolutely convinced Trump is going to blow out deficits as soon as he's in office (betting markets say it's a done deal, duh!). How many have actually attended some of his events to see what the campaign is saying?

B. Riley $RILY and Benchmark named as agents on $QBTS sales agreement. Two days later, B. Riley and Benchmark upgrade w/ price tgt increase on $QBTS and $RBTI... I'm sure the two have absolutely nothing to do with each other... @SEC_Enforcement 🫣

Have to love this headline on quantum stocks... 'Rigetti Stock Rockets 1,860%: Did Insiders Miss The Quantum Boom?' Yes - insiders are super bullish on the breakthroughs that they were dumping stock weeks ago... They missed the boom right in front of their own eyes... 🤔

Appears as though IBKR shut off ability to buy put options on MSTX... I held some b4 the dividend and position was changed to MSTX1 BASKET "Basket Derivatives Restricted" 🤔 The ones I held should be deeply ITM but now can only close position at a chunky loss.

But when I look at the same exact options on the *new* $MSTX option chain (same expiry & strike) - they're trading for well above my cost basis... 🤔

Sean McDonough trying to take credit away from Notre Dame when they were down their two best defensive players (both All-Americans) and one of their best offensive linemen... I know, I know, when a SEC team loses, it must be a "down year". 🤦‍♂️

The dollar is ripping faces, yields are unch'd, oil on a run and we have ppl piling into "quantum" stonks up 25% today... And we're supposed to believe the end of year "dip" is a generational buying opportunity?
