I bought DIS $Disney (DIS.US)$ , BABA $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ ,  BA $Boeing (BA.US)$ this year and they never recovered. Maybe I was expecting them to do something during the greatest bull run the stock market has ever seen. I don’t know.
Probably gonna be another year or so until I actually see results.

$Disney (DIS.US)$
Disney share price gave away all the gain this year. What a rout in for growth stock!

$Disney (DIS.US)$ Ema 5 will upward from now on

$Roku Inc (ROKU.US)$
Reckon price action to hunt the stop loss at the lows of breakout bar. Earning day is near but still a good RR trade if intend to…
I can EP at MA20, and SL (market, outside of trading hrs order) at 314.50

$Northrop Grumman (NOC.US)$ $RTX Corp (RTX.US)$ $Lockheed Martin (LMT.US)$ $Boeing (BA.US)$ $RTX Corp (RTX.US)$ Inflation has been running rampant YTD. The supply chain is broken and the price of fuel is hurting everyone. So Klain, Psaki and now Bloomberg, who are all high class citizens have only just recently started complaining? Hmmm, I guess they have begun to hear from family members how expensive life is.
So how to play this Charlie Foxtrot. Oil, shipping companies, transportation companies, anyone have anything? Of course my list is obvious but I'm having trouble thinking outside the box today.
So current events with China and missiles. NOC and RTX collaboration and recent test results. This would be a multi year hold and there's no guarantee the remaining defense contractors won't outperform the recent test. Good luck.
everyone is so focused on inflation this could be the multi bagger. RTX, BA (hate that stock but they're in) and LMT.

$NIO Inc (NIO.US)$ who else is buying!
