CVS
I changed the name of the thread because I think that Q's CVS Lounge gives a better representation of what the thread is about. This isn't a deals thread although I will sometimes be posting deals. I'll probably talk more about Transylvania and the stock market than I will about the drugstores but the main thing is that is that I want this to be a cool place to hang out.

Oh, and my vote is for Millie Meter. We already have one for Mr Dip Stick where we buy motor oil.

Are you watching Valeant Pharmaceuticals? They were sitting at $150 on Tuesday then Citron came out and said what a crap company they are and shares dropped to $80 on Wednesday. Then this notorious short seller comes in that afternoon and buys up 2 million shares and the stock jumps back up to $120. Today it's dropped back down to $97.
McDonalds stock is way up on an earnings beat. Under Armour beat too but the last time I looked the stock was down over 4%. The market is having a very good day but I can't figure out what stocks are up. Most of what I'm looking at is down.
I heard that Weight Watchers stock was 75% short. They must've all got killed when Oprah bought it and it tripled in price. I wish I understood more about how a short squeeze works or even how to find out what the % of shorts in a stock are. I can get an A to F rating on a stock based on the short interest (from IBD for example) but it would be very useful to know when and how much a certain stock is being shorted.

DK about the rest, but I am surprised that McD beat the earnings. But, thats nice. Always glad to see a stock going up.
Google...What percent....is being shorted. maybe?
Boy, Citron sure has a lot of influence!

like Egg McMuffins but they're too expensive. I'll usually save two bucks and go to Carls Jr. I think for $4 for a slice of cheese and fake egg on an English Muffin is too much (I get them no meat). I can get the same thing on a biscuit at Carls Jr for under $2. The other thing is that the drive thru at MCD gets jammed up when somebody orders an Egg McMuffin at lunch. I don't want to wait 30 minutes for a cold cheeseburger and a coke. I think MCD will end up losing money on all-day breakfast. However, if they drop the price of an Egg McMuffin to around $2 and figure out how to speed up the service then it's a different ballgame.
I don't follow Google or I guess it's Alphabet now. I saw an article yesterday saying that the stock was ready to take a big jump up (but I didn't read it). I also saw an article saying that Tesla stock could crash to 180 (or below). From looking at the chart, it's certainly possible.
Citron started the GoPro crash from $97 to the high 20's. Valeant is a completely different situation. Valeant is like Enron. There's some really bad stuff going on and they're screwing their customers with drug prices. GoPro stock may have been overvalued but there wasn't anything wrong with what the company was doing. I don't think there's anything wrong with a company saying that hey, a stock isn't worth anything close to the price it's selling for. That's a lot of what's wrong with the market right now. The valuations are crazy.

Wish I was one of them.
SOME people must have known before hand she was going to buy.

I don't think so on Oprah but what do I know? Under Armour stock is down 6% on an earnings beat. It's because the profit margin was 48% instead of 49% on a billion dollars. What company wouldn't want to make 48% profit on a billion dollars? It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I'm watching the stock to see if it starts going back up. Oprah is at 14.80 right now. Resistance is at 14.50. If it drops down to that point and then starts to go up, I'm in for a quick ride.

i'm surprised they don't have 2/$3 deals for egg mcmuffins where you are. and i think it's more like resistance from their franchisees more than anything else causing problems. they just don't want to invest money in extra equipment to do both. but compared to a diner, their menu is tiny. and diners get it done all the time. and it's not like they don't microwave food or put it under heat lamps. they could have a few egg mcmuffins ready to go all the time and not cause a traffic jam at the drive thru. they don't market it that their food is made to order. that's wendy's.
Back when Woody Allen was funny (and not a perv) he had a great bit about ordering from McDonalds. I think it was in Bananas and he's ordering for an army. I'll take 2000 hamburgers...on second thought, make it an order of fries to go.
