Any Stockpickers out there?

But, Sir, ordered and shipped over the Internet!

On nicely seeking α with LLY:

(I’ll pass, thanks)

Goofy does not joke, he only goofs around.
Please mind the difference, Sir.

Still good enough to run Skynet, though, right?


In other news, I had some cash to deploy and today added another slice of a boring Agricultural Products & Services company: Ingredion.

I bought the dip let my elaborate mostly[$] mechanical system do its work which then instructed me to buy today.

Uh … er … yes, of course. That’s exactly how it works.

$   I honest to God went through all my positions and potential new buys last weekend and highlighted a couple of buy candidates – came away with $CBU, $CI, $CVX, $EIX, $GIS, $INGR, $KDP, $O, $OZK, $PRU, $SJM, $STT and $VZ as buyable.

Taking into account position sizing, open cash secured puts, sector allocations, upcoming earnings calls and some magic shrooms secret sauce (C8H10N4O2 spiced up with some C18H27NO3) $INGR looked most interesting today.

$KDP was a close second, but they’ll report earnings on Monday, and I’ll wait for what they have to say.
Maybe I’ll buy some more of their stock, maybe I’ll just buy some more of their soda (shout out to @larix.aurea for their advertisement of the “Action” chain where I picked up a couple of bottles of Dr. Pepper last week – for CHF 1.19 a bottle!
As a consumer I noticed their bottle contains just 450ml instead of the standard 500ml, but as a shareholder, I of course approve … :wink:


2001   Anyone else disappointed we’re 24 years past 2001 and we not only have not sent astronauts to Jupiter, we don’t even have a HAL[IBM] 9000 equivalent … just some some LLMs crowning themselves as AI, but well, don’t get me started …

IBM   Those who knew that HAL was left shifted for IBM get an extra serving of desert for tonight’s dinner.
