Okay fellow retards listen up, first question to get your smooth brain juices flowing;
When was the last time you were on a plane? Correct answer is 2020, because you've been balls deep in Game Stonks this entire year glorious year and currently cannot afford rent let alone a plane ticket.
Now let's review the AAL chart for the past month. What has happened in the past month to say this value is based on a "Strong Industry Rebound" in the last fucking 7 days. Answer: Not much**^(*)**
The coronavirus pandemic decimated air travel in 2020 globally. The airline industry and American Airlines specifically have suffered shocks from both the coronavirus crisis and theย Boeing 737 Max grounding. The International Air Transport Association set the air travel sector at deficit of $118.5 billion (yes fucking billion) in 2020.
Coronavirus vaccines started to ship in December 2020, but widespread availability isn't expected until mid 2021 with travel demand not fully recovering for years.
AAL stock is not in a buy zone now and still faces longer-term headwinds (pun intended). Even after the pandemic eases, the travel sector isn't expected to rebound quickly as different markets come back sooner than others, with countries placing different restrictions on the industry. The US in general seems to be on-top of restrictions in this aspect.
American Airlines suffers from weak technicals and fundamentals. Fact. AAL stock has hit profit-taking range at the exact time the market is seeing uncertainty with the bond market and Game Stonk shake up.
So the question is, has this run up been warranted? Has it happened too quickly, and will this correct down before the 'rebound' that is expected potentially mid year in physical flights being taken? Are investors scared at this current time? Would this impact a stock pick that is based on flimsy at best rebound potential in the short term? You tell me, I'm not making this decision for you.

... keep reading on reddit โกSo this question I've been wondering for a while and my instructor wasn't able to answer properly. He just said, you won't be able to fly forever, but didn't elaborate much.
Basically, if I have 100 KTS headwind and my stall speed is 50 KTS and I have an engine failure, I should be able to fly forever assuming the headwind stays? I should even be able to climb!
Please explain with engineering terms if possible OR with free body diagram. I will understand better :)
We are stuck in a down market, and we are doing better than most listed companies. I trust that most SNDL investors see the wider picture, and brighter days ahead.
Warren Buffett would say "the best time to buy a company is when know body else will" or "Buy when there is blood in the streets and buy more when that blood is your own"
"Fortune favors the brave"
I'm in a debate with a fellow pilot friend. Assume we're at altitude in a level, standard-rate turn
He argues that a turn into a very strong headwind will show a momentary climb on the VSI and you'll have to re-trim.
I argue that the airplane doesn't care/has no idea what mass of air it's in, and other than a decrease/increase in GS, the plane's attitude/climb/IAS won't change.
He said if you stick your hand out the window of a moving car and step on the gas, your hand will raise... I tell him stepping on the gas is the equivalent to punching the throttle in an airplane, so of course it will climb compared to it's relative wind (lol).
Who's right?
I hold 200 shares of BB, first bought in ~$8.50 and another at ~$9.50. I tend to feel that whenever it dips below $10 it starts looking very attractive.
I have mixed feelings on the stock since the company has struggled to actually make money and cement a solid business direction for profitable growth. I was also a little out off by the meme status and wild, seemingly random price spikes. But now I feel like the meme effect has cooled down and it continues to trade fairly consistently in the mid $9-$10 range. From the patent sales and continued partnerships I feel the company is moving in a good direction and while still risky at this points presents some pretty attractive prospects for future growth. I just saw the news about the Google and Qcom partnership and once again thought that the future seems somewhat promising and the prices fairly attractive currently

lets start with consumer sentiment survey from University of Michigan. pdf here's overall consumer sentinment, and here's an idea of what they're trying to accomplish with the survey: "The Index of Consumer Expectations focuses on three areas: how consumers view prospects for their own financial situation, how they view prospects for the general economy over the near term, and their view of prospects for the economy over the long term. ~ Each monthly survey contains approximately 50 core questions, each of which tracks a different aspect of consumer attitudes and expectations. ~ Each month, a minimum of 500 interviews are conducted by telephone from the Ann Arbor facility."
at first glance to me this looks like a mean reverting chart, somewhere around 95. but we hit a snag in august, where we fell out of our recovery outlook down to the 70 area. consumers are about opto/pissimistic as they were 9 years ago. here's a couple more cahrts: vehicle buying sentiment pdf, home buying sentiment pdf, household durables like dishwashers pdf, unemployment outlook, higher the better pdf. the percent of respondants that respond good - percent taht respond bad + 100, for example 55% say good, 45% bad, taht's 55-45+100=110. so consumers aren't wanting to buy the big ticket staples right now, es

I throw a Buzzz 280-310' and Anax 340-370' (for reference). My max distance driver are Trespasses, 380-410' on relatively flat ground in good conditions. I love the 1.9-2.1 rim widths.
Unfortunately, Anax and Trespass flip too much in stiff headwinds, and I cannot achieve good distances with a Force. I know Zeus and Forces have the same rim width (2.3) and are very close according to Discraft stability ratings.
Does anyone else with similar power get better distance with a Zeus over Force?
Does the Zeus fight headwinds better than Anax?
Recent Big Z Zeus vs ESP Zeus?
Thanks!
Analysts do not expect a breakdown in fundamentals in the near-term. They do not see the company missing estimates over the next two quarters, but ultimately, they do see a combination of slower growth and a slowing PC environment burdening the stock. In their eyes, this represents a high multiple set-up coupled with a slowdown in growth. Analysts do believe estimates in the near-term are beatable, but the slower growth would warrant a lower multiple.
The Chinese economy is battling multiple headwinds this year, including the COVID-19 pandemic and a drop in retail sales, due to a fall in consumer demand. This has resulted in analysts revising the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) forecast for the country for 2022.
Amid these macroeconomic headwinds and regulatory pressure, it remains to be seen how Chinese ecommerce companies will perform this year.
Using the stock comparison tool, we will compare two Chinese retail giants, Alibaba and JD.com, and see whether we can gauge their performance for the December quarter, using the Website Traffic tool. We will also look at what Wall Street analysts are saying about these stocks.

Alibaba (NYSE: BABA)
Alibaba, the Chinese retail giant, had a turbulent 2021 as the company came under increasing regulatory scrutiny. This was reflected in the BABA stock price, as shares have tanked 41.6% in the past year. In addition to the company's regulatory woes, China's retail sales are slowing down. According to a CNBC report, citing data from China's National Bureau of Statistics, retail sales in December grew yearover-year only by 1.7%, while analysts were expecting growth of 3.7% year-over-year.
The NBC report quoted China's National Bureau of Statistics, which commented, "We must be aware that the external environment is more complicated and uncertain, and the domestic economy is under the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock and weakening expectations."
The deteriorating macro-economic environment in China also prompted J.P. Morgan analyst Alex Yao to cut his estimate for BABA's customer management revenues (CMR). He now expects them to decelerate by 2% year-over-year for the December quarter, instead of his earlier estimate of an increase in CMR of 5% year-over-year.
Indeed, in fiscal Q2, CMR revenues made up 36% of BABA's total revenues in fiscal Q2 and grew only 3% year-over-year. The proportion of CMR as a part of total revenues for BABA also decelerated from 45% in the September quarter of 2020 to 36% in the September quarter of 2021.
But will this deceleration in CMR continue? Yao thinks that it will most likely reverse by the end of the June quarter this year.
The analyst remains more cautious about Alibaba's future earnings outlook, as he believes that the company's future strategic inves
