Tupperware has been on our radar for months, and I’ve mentioned it pretty regularly on tastytrade – – it’s seriously starting to revisit its 2019/2020 plunge in tiny steps:
Not Tup But Down

Hello, Larry
Oracle is one of the few major companies that has a very “off season” quarterly earnings report. I guess the world isn’t too happy, since it just undid all the price gains for the past three months.

(more…)Futures!
We’re still working on it, but I wanted to mention that SlopeCharts is now the beneficiary of a class of data it has never had before, which is futures/commodity daily data. It is accessed by way of the Futures Markets item in the Tools menu for SlopeCharts. (I will mention right from the start that the new futures data is just for Platinum subscribers, although the Energy menu, which is a special subset of data, is still available to all users, including free Sloper accounts).
Who Was That Masked Man?
I know there is a very strong correlation between the red-ness and the blue-ness (politically speaking) of a given area and its disposition toward wearing face masks. I have to say, though, I’m very surprised at my experience today. The reason is that today, June 15th, is at long last (fifteen months in!) Californians can ditch their masks and go back to normal.
I suspect people would be flinging these things in the air………….making bonfires with them……….shouting shrieks of liberated joy. Want to know the reality from the ground? Not a change. None. At this very moment, I am typing this outside of Whole Foods. I intended to go in there, sans mask, but yet every person – – every single one – – had a mask on just like for the pats fifteen months. I have never been accused of being a rigid conformist, but since I didn’t want to look like a total asshole, I fished my trusty mask out of my pocket and donned it.
Sheesh, I seriously thought we were done with this crap.
