Yesterday Dow rose more than 200 points (0.7%), while Nasdaq fell 67.6 points (O.48%). This was profoundly depressing because I own many Nasdaq stocks.
Today the Dow is falling 350 points (0.54%), while the Nasdaq is falling 360 points (2%). This is profoundly depressing, again.
You can revel in today’s misery. You can play tennis. (I’ve done that already.) …
Or you can eye the economy: It’s doing super well. People are flush with cash. They’re trying to spend it on cars, houses, appliances, plane trips — anything they can get their hands on. Which is not easy, given the shortages of everything from semi-conductors to houses, to airline seats, to lumber, to drywall.
Every manufacturer and their uncle is working to ramp up production, overcome the bottlenecks and make pots of money for their shareholders.
Hence this week’s share price decline is blessing in disguise.
It’s says, in clear terms, “BUY. BUY. BUY.” My “logic” says buy non-tech stocks that will benefit from the economy’s boom:
AAPL Apple
AMZN Amazon
CLF Cleveland Cliffs
COST Costco
F Ford
GE General Electric
GNRC Generac
HD Home Depot
JETS ETF for airlines
LOW Lowes
LUV Southwest Airlines
MGA Magna International
MA MasterCard
MO Altria (for the high yield)
NKE Nike
PYPL PayPal
UNP Union Pacific
V Visa
WMT Walmart
WY Weyerhaeuser
X United States Steel

I assembled it and took Rosie for a spin.

The Tractor Supply “story” is perfect for today:
Tractor Supply Company is an American retail chain of stores that offers products for home improvement, agriculture, lawn and garden maintenance, livestock, equine and pet care.-
Sounds like I need to buy more TSCO shares.
