August has been a turbulent month for stocks, having relinquished over a quarter of the S&P 500's impressive gains this year. As earnings reports wind down, Nvidia's impressive resurgence is making waves in the tech industry. Meanwhile, all eyes were on Fed Chief Powell at the Jackson Hole Symposium as the Federal Reserve debated halting its campaign of interest rate hikes.

TSLA & ARKK
- TSLY follows TSLA plus it provides monthly div
- OARK tracks ARKK ETF and has monthly div.
If TSLA and ARKK turn south you still have div income, if they head north div is more.

I decided to review my Q3 not on the trading itself, but on my thoughts in the past 3 months. Whoever started as a newbie, you will see there is no end to the number of blogs and Youtube videos that convince retail investors they too can be experts. But what, really, is the value of that information? From my experience, there are three reasons earnings-based analyses are so popular in the investing world, even among some quasi-professionals, despite the fact that Discounted Cash Flow analysis is the preferred model for valuation across the entire industry:
1. Earnings is the most readily available company metric on the internet.
2. Ratios are simple; analyses are complicated.
3. This information is cheap.
Beyond Time Value of Money, there's no more valuable information you're going to get from browsing the internet for free. You can get access to certain types of research reports from Schwab and other discount brokerages, but it's not "free". You've deposited money with and given order flow to these institutions, on which they in turn generate income. But this is still relatively low value information compared to real, thorough equity research (it's often called "Due Diligence" here). These reports cost money, and they're compiled by people with years of education and expertise, which in turn cost money.
Very little of what analysts know in practice is something that can be distilled to the average investor without all of the years of underlying context. Expecting you to digest this and beat the market would be like telling you to take a 5xxx or 7xxx level finance course and expecting you to place in the top 5% of the class, at a top 5% school.
So this is what really goes into business valuation exercises of any real worth. Which is another way of saying: If you didn't pay for it, chances are it's not that valuable.

Logistics is the main artery and weather vane of the global economy, and often predicts economic trends six months in advance. Let's keep an eye on it!

In the ticker purchases are green with an up arrow, and sales are red with a down arrow. What are the light blue/gray transactions with a diamond (presumably not up or down)?
Is this dark pool activity? Or options?
