Stupid is as Steel Does: Forrest's Take on Today's Wild Stock Market Ride

Steel Magnolias (and Steel Stocks)

Mama always said 'Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get.' Well today the stock market was like a box of chocolates especially if you were lookin' at steel. Nucor was struttin' like a peacock up over 3%. They said they gonna make more money than folks thought. That's good right? But then there's Steel Dynamics. Their boat didn't float as high as folks hoped. They went down a smidge about 1%. It's like Jenny always said 'Run Forrest Run!' Some stocks ran up and some ran down.

Run Forrest Run! (From Muscle Loss)

Now this here Scholar Rock Holding they went up almost 15%. They got some kinda magic medicine that helps folks not lose muscle when they're tryin' to lose weight with those Eli Lilly pills. It's like Lieutenant Dan gettin' his new legs. Maybe not exactly but you get the picture. Lilly went down a tiny bit but sometimes you gotta take a step back to jump forward like when I was playin' ping pong.

Affirm ative Action (For Your Wallet)

This Affirm company they went up 3%. Seems they got themselves a new friend named Prudential who's gonna buy up some of their loans. That's like Bubba and me startin' the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company but instead of shrimp it's loans. And instead of Bubba it's Prudential. Makes about as much sense don't it?

Solar Flare Ups and Setbacks

Sunrun that's a solar company they went up 5% even though some smart folks at RBC said they wouldn't do as good. It's like when people told me I couldn't play football. Turns out I could run real fast. Other solar companies like Enphase and SolarEdge were up too. Maybe the sun's just shinin' brighter on them today. But somethin' must have happened cause Sunrun had lost the biggest one day loss but then they went back up. Like Jenny always said you gotta put the past behind you

Pharma Fun and Herbal Remedies

This fella John Paulson he bought a whole bunch of Bausch Health stock and it went up 8%. Maybe he knows somethin' we don't. Then there's CERo Therapeutics they went down a whole bunch even though the government gave their medicine a special name. And this Chemours company they went up 8% even though they said they weren't gonna make as much money. And Regencell Bioscience them folks jumped way up this week but then they fell down like a feather in the wind.

Oracle Speaks and Stablecoins Shine

Oracle they went up a bit cause some smart fella said they gonna do real good. And this Circle company they went up almost 16% cause the government said it's okay to have digital money. It's like when I invested in Apple. I didn't know what it was all about but it turned out pretty good. And I had so much of that money I just started mowing lawns. Anyway that's all I have to say about that.
