Intel was just pulled from the Dow Industrial average and replaced w Nvidia. Intel was the big chip maker here in the US and now out w the old and in w the new.
This is interesting to me as Intel is getting an 8 billion dollar grant to build new chip making facilities here which are already underway.
Why on earth is everyone giving up on Intel? I get they are the old guard and couldn't stay on top but man, they should be able to get something going...chips were spun off this year. ohio project and others still on pace.....

To be listed on the Dow, you're supposed to be a flagship of an industry. In this case, Intel has consistently under-performed against others in the semi-conductor market. Nvidia now represents the sector for purposes of evaluating the US market using price-weighted index, which the Dow is.tempo_n_groove said:

I am well aware and u are correct. The article Mick posted seems like they were on top of the world when they are truly not so I was surprised he posted it. Seems like the writers were misinformed no?mrussel1 said:

Bond market approaching 4.5% again. I just read an article talking about possibility of mortgage rates hitting 8%....

Buy the rumor, sell the news. Fed cuts by a quarter. My guess is a little pullback. The financial stocks are already in "profit-taking" mode. I'm heavily in on financial as that's my business and we gravitate to what we know. I had the best day ever yesterday, and if I was a short-term guy, would have sold. My second largest single equity is JPM and it went from like 221 to 247 yesterday. That's crazy.
If you're looking for an ETF, highly recommend XLF. It's the SPDR focused on banks.0 -

Bond market pricing in a return to higher inflation with Trump's policies...
https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mbs-morning-11122024Two Ways to Look At This Morning's Sell-Off
By: Matthew Graham2 Hours, 37 Min agoIn the run up to the election, we offered constant reminders that a 10bp move in Treasuries wasn't really a big deal, and that such volatility could be expected well into November. That's the first way to view the overnight weakness. In fact, it's almost perfectly central to the prevailing trend, and the previous 3 trading sessions look like the more volatile reaction.
Consider that there was a good amount of short covering (bond sellers becoming buyers to close their positions and book profits) after the election, and likely a push to get through it by Friday. That would leave today as a "back to business" day.
The other way to view this morning's selling is as an organic response to Trump cabinet appointees and the increased likelihood of GOP control of the House. We maintain that such a thin margin of control is not quite as big of a deal as 10+ seat margin, but it's worth a bit of bond weakness nonetheless.
There are a few headlines circulating regarding European traders pricing in US inflation expectations and political outcomes. That coincides with the most notable uptick in volume and volatility overnight.

In the bigger picture, yields are right in line with a linear regression (yellow line) going back to October 22nd (the day after the big mystery selling-spree that could only be tied to election speculation). It's also fairly central to the prevailing trend channel since the October jobs report (white lines).

This doesn't make much sense in context of the DOL rule that was struck down last week. It's not that Dickie's can't pay overtime if they wished. The rule raised the threshold of minimum salary for a person ineligible (exempt) from OT. Dickie's can certainly choose to raise the salaries of their low level exempts OR pay time and a half.mickeyrat said:0 -
