Stoney... you're up 14%! $7.86
You know what they say about the weed stocks...
"Buy high,... sell higher".
$275 and a new all-time high.
I have a sloping field and part of the problem is I have no idea how to get a mini-hoe down to the area. There's a small opening and then a lot of stone wall, then the pool is over on the left, the only way would be to lay plywood or something over one stone wall-- it would be very hard... which leads me to a bad place-- where is the back up septic area? And is it in the same very hard to get to place. So what I have done is rather smart I think. I did have two teenage boys helping and my lawn guy so together there were at time three shovels working out of two trucks. At my age to still dig in a leech field it's pretty impressive, the area now is finally quiet.
Have I succeeded in buying time. That is the question. I may have.
United Rentals I believe I used them in the old days for a floor sander... or was that someone else... this must of been thirty years ago but I think it was them. That's a great business now renting out big equipment i like it!!! I want to look into it. Nice call on Olli by the way... Van you seem one of the only free thinkers here on this site.
WED-
TER reported and it looks UP. I know it's crazy but I think I'm going to take the pop and redistribute. I feel like tech is wobbly here. What to go into?
A) FIS--
Reason: Payments I guess... Everyone wanted me in Square but I resisted, I have issues with Square they hold back payments to some small companies and still I watched it go up. Their new cash-app is just VEMO copy but still it went up. I still have issues but maybe FIS is a play in the same sort of area.

Hibbett expects its second-quarter comparable-store sales to climb more than 70% year over year. That crushed Wall Street's estimates; analysts had expected comps growth of only 15.7%.
Hibbett says the gains will be driven by both its stores and its e-commerce, whose comps are predicted to rise by roughly 60% and 200%, respectively.
"We believe our sales have been positively impacted by multiple factors, including pent-up consumer demand, temporary and permanent store closures by our competitors, and stimulus money," CEO Mike Longo said in a press release.

Zebra has been around forever. I owned them a few times in the old days. My Mother loved the stock! It is a very strong company. Often highlighted tech- bar code reading// personally I see the attraction-- Amzn obviously-- But these smudges that i phones use and apps use- a square that holds lots of embedded info and you shine your phone at it and you get a discount coupon or something.. I thought these electric squares would eliminate bar codes but I was wrong. This used to be a $100 co and now they are way up! - what is the Covid angle?-- bar codes on our foreheads WARNING: I Have Covid... I'd rather a square patch on my shirt that says :Leave Me Alone. I wonder if Zebra makes the square patches as well?

Wait....->Ollie's Bargain Outlet price target raised to $123 from $108 at Piper Sandler 06:06 OLLI Piper Sandler analyst…
Wait->Ollie's Bargain Outlet sees Q2 revenue $515M, consensus $387.84M 16:20 OLLI Sees Q2 Comparable store sales growth of approximately 40%; Gross margin of approximately 39%, returning to historical second quarter levels; Operating margin1 of approximately 16%. John Swygert, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are excited about the strength in our business and comparable sales during the second quarter. Our ability to keep pace with the spike in demand and deliver outstanding comparable store sales growth and operating margins is a testament to our organization's ability to execute at extraordinary levels. I am extremely proud of and thankful for the efforts put forth by our entire organization. Our buyers worked quickly to secure great deals for our customers, our distribution center teams did an amazing job moving product through the supply chain and our store employees worked tirelessly to stock our shelves and serve our customers while maintaining a safe environment. The robust comparable store sales growth has decelerated in recent weeks, tracking in the positive mid-teens, and we expect growth to continue to moderate in the third and fourth quarters.
TER- EPS $1.33 vs $1.03est!!! Crushed it!
sees Q3 as $1.01-$1.17 vs 64cents est!!!!!
Why would anyone sell this stock? Why does the market always get shaky at the worst times!
