Shorting staples here pretty aggressively, which have gone on a big run. $XLP broadly but $KO and $WMT particularly.

Shorts that aren't actually that overvalued (a 10+15% grower trading at 30x earnings can be overvalued, but still easily trade to 40-50x). Sizing is very important. Stuff like $CBA, $WDFC, $WMT, $WING have been some of my biggest winners this year with no catalyst.

Have to at least acknowledge rate reversal and move into low quality and retail/software today...... But oil/diesel/soft commodities/transportation all staying bid, find this more positioning over extended om rates then durable change (especially with the data and the still unresolved issues causing the inflation) AI sold off I think is what is driving both moves in rates (more out needs a home) and retail/rate sensitive/software were the funding shorts (see sectors and components today) ......but geez at these prices an easier trade I think is to fade software/retail then guess next stop on AI and funding.....the are correlated (for now) anyways. Go through the sectors and components and sort by % gain today almost stacked ranked from worst business (biggest intraday gain) to quality at the bottom.....tells you whats going on. Some might say low quality always leads on a reversal.....this is not a start this is after a stealth sharp move higher for $ARHS $ETSY $EBAY $KSS $SHAK $WMT $CBRL $APPN $DOCU $IT $FRSH $BSP etc.

Similar to what we’ve seen happen at $WMT HQ, $T has found a way to cap/hold flat AI spend; a router sends each task to the cheapest model that can do the job, & open weight models that are now good enough for most of the work. Hearing this more & more as I speak to companies.

Was also wondering if $WMT could use some of that electricity. e.g. would the grid destabilize if their usage increased 20-50%. The bolt-a-GPU-on-your-house thing seems a little silly, but maybe it makes more sense on commercial buildings? The scale of those Nebius/Coreweave numbers seems hard to believe...

$WMT talking about investing heavily to lower prices with the bulk hitting at the end of Q2 and the real impact to be seen in Q3 and Q4....how is that not a negative for $TGT? Consumer incremental weaker according to wmt mgmt and while TGT has stepped over low comps, and created some traction with new assortment at current prices (17x next year on 3% growth and actually declining earnings yoy) very difficult to argue Target is cheap and isn't going to be threatened by new price competition for tighter wallets across WMT and TJX

@scottwilsonUSD @cfrischer1 Womack is seemingly in $WMT's pocket & claiming $NN will interfere with RFID. However, $NN has the proof that they do not interfere with RFID, so presumably Womack will go away.

@CalgaryLeveen @cfrischer1 @sScCrRaAbBLLeE 5/x) I'd argue that @BrendanCarrFCC is incentivized to move forward quickly now too, unless he wants to allow $WMT to dictate how the FCC does its job through their congressman, whom they no doubt generously support.
