And it's no wonder - the combination of inflation, geopolitical tensions and aggressive buying by central banks creates the ideal environment for its price to rise. Spot gold has recently shot above the $3,000/ounce mark.

📉 FedEx slows down - revised outlook and margin pressure send shares down!

The company now expects adjusted earnings between $18.00 and $18.60 per share, having targeted $20 to $22as recently... Read more
For me, it's not that interesting and that $AMZN has really been better than $FDX for a long time, so it doesn't make sense to buy shares of the worse company.
📉 Micron: Margins overshadow great numbers! 🧠💾 US semiconductor giant Micron Technology $MU released its second fiscal quarter results and the numbers certainly didn't disappoint for me. Revenue was up by 38 %, earnings beat analysts' expectations and the company offered a strong outlook for the period ahead. Still, the stock lost over 8 %due to margins.

I'm not investing in Intel, but the way I see it, if everything goes right and the CEO makes the right decisions, the company could soon be doing well again and the stock could start to rise.

Surely the Fed's question for all the money is will the US go into recession or even stagflation? What does the Fed say? For now, I have only a pithy quote from today's WSJ
Fed policymakers are alternatively referred to as inflation-fighting "hawks" or labor-market-defending "doves." Right now, Powell looks more like a duck-calm on the surface while constantly paddling beneath murky waters.😂
🚛 Daimler Truck under pressure: Change in US emissions rules dampens pre-sale expectations! Shares of Daimler Truck $DTG.DE fell more than 7 %. The main reason is the announcement by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S. that it's considering lifting stricter emissions rules.

It has been a long time since a European stock had such an extreme growth. Some may find it expensive, but I'm toying with the idea of buying a few more shares as the growth is likely to continue.

Good evening, Buliosians! How are you going to take advantage of the current market downturns?📉
Of the growth companies, $SOFI, $MRVL and a number of others I've been following for a long timeare getting pretty interesting prices for me . These two companies have seen tremendous growth in the past year, but despite quality results the price is down significantly.
Gold is definitely a great choice for some diversification. I've been thinking about investing in gold myself and $KGC doesn't look bad at all.
