While the other children were playing with Godzilla, Gamera etc.... young savant was running out of the house to grab the morning paper, paper trading stocks, anxious to see how he did the day before. No time for sci-fi. I'm probably the only person in the world that has never seen Star Wars, or any manifestation of Star Trek beyond the original series.

No wonder you are so bitter. You have a lot of catching up to do. Do not die until you have seen those bits. Seriously.
Why would you have held it? I took a loss too, but I saw the bigger picture market-wise and jumped out just over $30 when it became apparent everything was heading lower in early May.
This is why I never listen to analyst reports. They're useless.

Buy theme parks stocks with baseball off, consumer spending strong - Deutsche Bank, gummybear advisors
Mar. 04, 2022 9:20 AM ETSix Flags Entertainment Corporation (SIX),FUN,DISSEAS
Deutsche Bank came out with a positive note on the theme park sector based on the expectation that strong consumer spending this spring and summer will lead to impressive cash flow generation for the group. A potential wildcard is if the disruption to the major league baseball season extends to give a boost to theme park traffic.
The firm upgraded Six Flags Entertainment(NYSE:SIX)to a Buy rating after having it slotted at Hold. <------
Analyst Chris Woronka: "We think this is a group that should be broadly owned based on an expectation that a continuation of strong consumer spend on experiences, company-specific initiatives aimed at driving total per capita spend above last year’s record levels, and lapping of significant inflationary pressures in 2H should result in significant cash flow generation and, in SIX’s case, a re-rating of valuation."
The theme park sector is seen holding up better than other consumer discretionary industries from inflation and geopolitical headwinds.
Pfff... bitter.
If I'm bitter>>> you're weird.
But I am intuitive though, case in point... I KNEW when I wrote that, you would comment.
See there. You're predictable. That's why you can't trade.
Anyway, that stuff sucks. I would never watch it in a million years.
If it makes you feel any better though, I loved Indiana Jones in Raiders #1.
Terrible.
Belloc's staff was too tall. He was digging in the wrong place. And then the monkey died.
Well, it is shame you will not watch anything else. There is a world of fun that awaits you if you choose to engage it.
What is wrong with Cole Porter?
Good Morning. Fun stuff to read. Star Trek was important for many reasons. Too many to get into but --- I had a crush on Lt Uhura.!

For a summer rally setup, Hartnett is eyeing benign payrolls numbers, Nord Stream 1 back online, a "technical recession" printed on July 28 and slowing EPS greeted with "price resilience.
Looking further down the line, though, Hartnett noted that the "Fed cut with credibility into 1975 and major bull markets in small cap, value, real estate began; but there was no return to the Nifty 50 leadership of 1965-73, tech remained the worst performing sector through the 1970s."

Why did I hold SIX Flags-?
It's a good question. I guess I am an opposite sort of investor, if you tell me everything is horrible I will look for the bright side etc. Analyst views are used as a temperature taker not as guidance--
So nobody was traveling and I was in the " staycation " mode. I thought i was smart. I thought people would want to go to water parks and thrill rides. In my heart I am unwilling to give up that view. Is that because I am hoping for recovery and freedom from the virus? Perhaps, that's what I have to iron out.

Airstream parent company Thor signs MOU with ZF to build electric RV
- Jan. 10th 2022 11:15 am PT<------------ This was way back in Jan. The idea was so very good though. THOR asked themselves how can electric cars tow their mini campers? They can't. Big problem right. So they attacked a separate (maybe dangerous) battery back to the towed RV that allows the wheels to move by themselves and they got much extended range out of the Electric vehicle towing it.
Wonder if these are nearing production? Nobody wants a gas RV anymore.
Leading RV manufacturer Thor Industries, the parent company of the iconic Airstream brand, announced that it had signed a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with German auto supplier ZF to give Thor companies exclusive rights to ZF’s eTrailer System in a travel trailer RV. The goal is a new kind of camper that would maintain – and possibly extend – the nominal range of an electric vehicle while towing.
The basic idea is this: you put batteries into the space between a travel trailer’s frame rails, and replace one of the dummy axles with an electric drive axle. The trailer is now, basically, an EV that can power itself forward. It communicates with the car through the 4-pin connector in the same way RVs do now to engage brake lights and ABS, simply applying torque to the axle when the driver of the tow vehicle presses on the “go” pedal.
THOR President and Chief Executive Officer. “The significance of this technology, compared to other solutions in the space, is the dramatic effect it has on range and the potential for charge and power to both the tow vehicle and appliances in an RV.”
If adding high-capacity li-ion batteries and a compact drive system could eliminate – or even just effectively mitigate the range penalties suffered by electric vehicles towing heavy loads, it could be a game-changer for the RV camping, recreational boating, and motorsports towing crowds that have, until now, been watching the EV revolution from the sidelines with a great-than-usual sense of range anxiety.
Who gets it first?
Thor owns several RV brands – Keystone, Dutchmen, and Jayco, just to name a few – but the crown jewel in its brand portfolio is Airstream. The aircraft-inspired, aluminum-skinned, mid-century modern Airstream is the most iconic travel trailer out there. It’s the one that’s in all the movies. All the brochures. It’s the high-end poster child of the RV industry, and, as such, we have plenty of reason to believe that Thor will launch its new eTrailer tech under the Airstream banner.
Electrek’s Take
This is one of those great ideas – like Ford ProPower – that transcends the EV space and basically applies to all vehicles. A trailer that can propel itself with powered wheels would greatly increase the fuel efficiency of an ICE truck/trailer rig, allow smaller, more efficient vehicles to safely haul and stop heavier loads,and make recreational camping a bit more accessible to new audiences.
