Amazon's Golden Cross: Is a Prime Rally on the Horizon?

Relativity of Stock Trends: A Cosmic Cross?

Good heavens! As your friendly neighborhood genius I must say even *I* find the stock market a bit perplexing. But this 'golden cross' thingamajig they're talking about with Amazon... well it sounds rather promising doesn't it? It seems my calculations have been replaced by stock charts! According to FactSet Amazon's 50 day moving average ($206.46) has galloped past its 200 day counterpart ($206.04). It's like the faster you go the shorter the road seems or in this case the higher the stock goes!

Prime Day Paradox: More Days More Savings?

Ah Prime Day! It's grown from a single day to a four day extravaganza. Is this a case of the universe expanding or simply Amazon's desire to lighten our wallets? Probably both! Brian White of Monness Crespi Hardt suggests this is our last chance for discounts before tariffs send prices soaring. Is that really true? As I always say: Only two things are infinite the universe and human stupidity and I'm not so sure about the universe!

Beauty and the Bottom Line: A Market Makeover

Now Dana Telsey from Telsey Advisory Group chirps about health and beauty products being the star of the Prime Day show. Apparently we're all chasing eternal youth and a good deal at the same time. The U.S. beauty market is supposedly blossoming in 2025 which is all fine and dandy. Though I think the real beauty lies in understanding the secrets of the cosmos or maybe in finding a good hair day formula. One is complicated and takes time the other can be bought!

E=MC Hammer: Can Amazon Touch This High?

Let's rewind the clock a bit. Amazon stock has moonwalked over 30% in the last three months. Now they are almost 8% below their record. Now the question is can they reach that February high again? With this golden cross forming maybe we can touch this! But remember past performance is about as reliable as predicting the weather... in outer space.

JPMorgan's Jitters: A Downgrade Dilemma

In other news JPMorgan Chase got the thumbs down from HSBC which is a bit like getting a 'needs improvement' note from your smartest student. Saul Martinez of HSBC claims JPMorgan's bar is set too high. It seems they might be running a bit fast for their britches or to put it in my terms perhaps their relative speed is causing them to age more slowly and therefore become undervalued... or something like that! What a financial tragedy. It's like saying 'You're too good you must be downgraded!'.

The Unpredictable Cosmos of Commerce

In conclusion the stock market is a mysterious beast full of golden crosses Prime Day paradoxes and downgraded giants. All these things can be predicted but not with certainty since the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. As I always say 'If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.' And I'm still trying to explain this whole stock market thing to myself!
