Meme stocks are back! Well, sort of. A spike in companies like AMC Entertainment (AMC) and GameS...
It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Even rising interest rates are seen as a potential way to cool the rapidly-rising housing market. Other parts of the real estate market have likewise held up well, but have different dynamics that should enable more value to be unlocked ahead. One such area is in industrial real estate. Most investors can't or don't want to own this space directly, so a number of REITs exist to make it easy. » FULL STORY | | | | | | Insider Trading Report: Caesars Entertainment (CZR) | | | | Courtney Mather, a director at Caesars Entertainment (CZR), recently bought 16,000 shares. The buy increased her stake by 113 percent, and came to a total price just over $961,000. That follows up on other sizeable insider buys this year. The company CEO bought 10,000 shares in March, and another director bought 13,000 shares on the same day. Since then, the stock is down nearly one-third. Over the past two years, company insiders have been more prone to sell than to buy. » FULL STORY | | | | | | Unusual Options Activity: Roblox (RBLX) | | | | Shares of metaverse platform Roblox (RBLX) have been at ground zero for the market selloff.

» FULL STORY | | | | | | • | Producer Inflation Hits 11 Percent
Producer inflation has risen 11 percent over the past year, thanks to a 0.5 percent rise in April, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That shows that manufacturers are continuing to pay more for raw goods, and that not all of the higher costs are ending up in the consumer price index. | | | | • | Rents Continue to Rise
Shelter costs continue to rise. According to the latest data, rental of a primary residence rose 4.8 percent compared to the prior year. In some markets, rents have risen at a much faster pace. The rise is likely to continue given the shortage in the housing market, although some local markets may fare better than others. | | | | • | Snap Acquires KeyDB
Social media firm Snap (SNAP) has acquired KeyDB, a developer of an open-source database. The buy will allow Snap to improve its technology infrastructure overall while also bringing more tech expertise in-house. The price for the acquisition has not been disclosed. | | | | • | Baby Formula Shortage to Last for Months
One of the latest supply chain snarls has come in baby formula. A major facility in the US has been shut down for months, and owner Abbot Laboratories (ABT) is bringing in formula from Ireland until the FDA approves of restarting production. That could still leave a shortage for months. | | | | • | VR Researchers Make Strides in Leg Tracking
Virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular. But so far, the technology hasn't been able to do much other than tracking vision, hand, and body movements. Researchers have developed a possible solution for leg tracking using cameras with fisheye lenses, which could greatly enhance VR experiences going forward. | | | | | | TOP | | TPR | 14.894% | | | DISH | 13.918% | | | ETSY | 13.083% | | | LUMN | 7.493% | | | UAA | 6.463% | | | BOTTOM | | SYF | 7.543% | | | ABC | 6.628% | | | CEG | 6.516% | | | WRK | 6.367% | | | BA | 5.808% | | | | | | | | | This week is interesting because the stock market declines have accelerated downwards, so the waterfall is accelerating but things that normally would corroborate a waterfall decline like yields or the VIX have not been. The bond market's actually been pretty stable even in the face of a hot CPI and the VIX actually has been falling. | | - Tom Lee, analyst at Fundstrat, on why the market may stage a strong counter-rally in the coming weeks given the selling in stocks versus other risk assets. | | |
