This CarMax vehicle is being transferred to my Carmax location (Spokane), where I will be able to visually inspect it, as well as test drive it.

I only wanted a manual, which this is. However, per questions I have asked AI (Gemini) in regard to SynchroRev Match, AI is saying that it does NOT have it installed, which contradicts a photo (the button to activate it, to the right of the gear shift). Clearly, it is not a "blank" button, but AI maintains that it is. What say you?

Also, per the Experian "detailed history report," the vehicle has never been in an accident and has had 3 owners . . . It should be noted that CarMax currently has about a dozen 370Zs nation wide, but they are almost ALWAYS on reserve, i.e, buyers in the process of potentially buying them. Consequently, you have to move quickly, when one comes available. Do you think this Nissan 370Z is worth $26k?

Approximately 3 business days ago, I said the following:

"Preface by saying I'm a long time investor; retired early; and, net worth is $3.6m. NONE of them . . . Why? Investments in pure-play space stocks carry immense risk because the aerospace sector operates under unforgiving physical, operational, and financial demands. Developing and maintaining orbital technology requires staggering upfront capital expenditures, forcing pre-profit companies to frequently issue new shares and dilute early investors just to stay afloat.

Unlike software companies that can easily patch errors over the air, space firms face binary hardware risks where a single mechanical failure on launch day can instantly vaporize tens of millions of dollars in equipment.

Lastly, because many of these stocks trade on future promises and hype (SPCX) rather than current positive net income, even minor operational hurdles or changes in market sentiment can trigger massive, rapid sell-offs, making the sector highly speculative for retail portfolios."

If you did buy, consider this as being forewarned and forearmed:

There are several lockup-period expiration dates coming, which could inject even more volatility into shares of the newly minted public company, as insiders will no longer be restricted from selling their stock. There is a 20% insider share unlock after Space's earnings announcement in early to mid-August. In addition, there is a 10% share unlock if the stock trades 30% above the IPO price (i.e., above $175). Finally, there are 7% share unlocks set for around Aug. 21 and then again on Sept. 10.

All told, insiders could potentially sell as many as 44% of SpaceX shares by early September.

I am a single parent of my 8 year old daughter; and, yesterday, I decided to take her out to breakfast in Spokane, i.e., we're fairly new to the area, having moved to Nine Mile Falls last year. I did a search on Google and found this place called Waffle Plus on Monroe St.

They were quite busy (seemed to be a lot of locals, particularly at the bar, where many folks seemed to know one another). Consequently, we were fortunate to get a table, much less a booth without waiting. Decor was quite welcoming, but quirky and offbeat.

Although we looked at the child's menu, my daughter did not see her favorite, bacon - on any of the menu items for children. However, on the "Senior" section of the menu, they had 1 egg, bacon, and toast . . . She wanted to get an english muffin and the waitress said, "No problem." I ordered eggs, sausage, hasbrowns, and english muffin. I also asked the waitress, whom served us, "How long has this place been around?" She said, "Approximately 30-35 years."

The food was delicious and the portions were enormous! Particularly, the restaurant was quite generous with the bacon that my daughter ordered, which she shared with me. Vice versa, the sausages were quite large and I shared with her too. In conclusion, I would definitely go back to this restaurant . . . I was so impressed, I left the waitress a tip equal to the bill.

I'm an investor and own a lot of NVDA. However, I recognize what traders and hedge funds are doing to the stock, i.e., manipulating it with puts or calls on a daily basis. Consequently, it stays in a certain range for weeks . . . or, months. I am tired of the manipulation.

Looking at the chart of Nvidia, we have overcome resistance in the $210 to $215 area that was twice rejected by sellers over the past year - once back in October 2025, when the stock topped out at $212.19, and again in late April, when the stock topped out at $216.83. The stock recently broke through, trading up to an all-time high of $236.54 on May 14, less than a week before earnings. That should have turned the old resistance of $215 into new support.

Despite reporting exceptional earnings. The stock is currently testing a critical technical level around the $215 mark, an area that previously served as a strong resistance point over the past year. According to technical analysis, this former resistance should now act as a support level. A higher close would signal strength and potential for further gains, whereas a breakdown below this level could indicate that the old resistance is back in play, suggesting a weaker near-term outlook.

While the company's AI-focused fundamentals, earnings growth, and market demand remain undeniably strong, the stock has stalled and failed to generate recent profits for investors. If the shares do not resume their upward trajectory soon, management might need to adopt a shareholder return strategy similar to Apple's massive buyback program to reduce share supply and boost the stock price. Although I applauded the recent earnings announcement where NVDA raised its dividend 25X, I was disappointed in the "puny" buyback announcement. I think it should be much, much more. There are TOO MANY OUTSTANDING SHARES AVAILABLE and they need to be reduced via a strong buyback program.

What do you think?

NVIDIA did indeed just shake up the market with their latest earnings release by massively raising their quarterly cash dividend from $0.01 to $0.25 per share, alongside a massive $80 billion stock buyback authorization.

Don't "Pooh Pooh" this action, as it is significant, despite the after hours mute reaction, i.e., down $2.81 (-1.26%) in AHs. While a 25-cent quarterly payout ($1.00 annually) seems modest on a stock trading over $220, the structural implications of this move are significant. This decision can catalyze a long-term increase in NVIDIA's share price in several distinct ways.

The most profound driver of share price appreciation from a dividend implementation isn’t actually individual retail investors - it is large institutional funds.Many massive mutual funds, pension funds, endowment pools, and ETFs operate under strict, legally binding charter mandates. A common mandate stipulates that the fund is prohibited from buying any stock that does not pay a meaningful dividend.

By jumping from a token penny to $0.25 a share, NVIDIA officially crosses the threshold for hundreds of dividend-focused institutional growth funds. This opens up a multi-billion-dollar wave of forced buying as these large managers are finally allowed to add NVDA to their portfolios.

Pure traditional value investors - the type who look for low Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios and high dividend yields (like banks or utilities) - likely won't be entirely enticed yet. NVIDIA's dividend yield will still sit under 0.5%. However, it heavily appeals to GARP (Growth at a Reasonable Price) investors and Dividend Growth fund managers.

Because NVIDIA paired this dividend hike with an extra $80 billion share repurchase program, they are attacking share value from both sides. While the dividend provides a reliable floor for long-term institutional holders, the aggressive buybacks will actively shrink the overall pool of circulating shares, naturally boosting earnings per share (EPS) and applying continuous upward pressure on the stock price.

Personally, as an investor in NVDA (2750+ shares), I don't follow the stock's machinations day to day. However, I am totally satisfied with my return to date; and, more important, after these aforementioned announced NVDA moves, I fully expect this company to easily be worth $10 trillion . . . or more, in 2-3 years.

Per the aforementioned link, last Thursday was a buying opportunity. I gave a detailed explanation why it was a buying opportunity. Some of you scoffed, but many of you agreed with me. It went as low as $194.74, but held above its $196 support at the close. How many of you bought shares or additional shares? There's still time. Why? When I bought 1250 shares at $900 approximately (pre-split) 2 plus years ago, I was unequivocally confident that NVDA would continue to go higher. It has.

As I indicated in the link, we must get past resistance, $208, whereby we continue to go higher. Thus far, it seems like that may be accomplished today. By 2030, I am guessing that NVDA will be at least a $10 trillion dollar company . . . if not more. Good luck!

Amazon on Monday took another step to turn its vast logistics network into a revenue-generating machine - a familiar move that is boosting investor confidence in the stock and hitting shares of its competitors. Amazon unveiled what it calls Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS), giving businesses access to its full suite of freight, distribution, fulfillment, and parcel shipping capabilities. The offering expands its third-party logistics reach beyond its marketplace sellers to companies across industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. 

Among the first to sign up for ASCS are major brands, including Club name Procter & Gamble , 3M , Lands’ End , and American Eagle Outfitters , underscoring the growing appeal of Amazon’s logistics infrastructure. “It’s a no-brainer for Amazon to do this. There’s nobody as good as Amazon at supply chain,” D.A. Davidson Gil Luria told CNBC in an interview Monday. 

My 800 shares are already up 25.5% YTD . . . Minimally, I expect a 100% return by the beginning of 2027. Yes, please bookmark this.

NVDA shares are trading lower on Thursday, and investors/traders are watching the price action closely. Sometimes when stocks break out, there are signs that the move higher will continue. Obviously, today doesn't look like that on the surface. Most of us know a breakout occurs when a stock exceeds a resistance level and holds above it. Traders consider this a bullish dynamic. It shows that the traders and investors who created the resistance have left the market.

This can be seen at the $196 level on Nvidia’s chart. It was resistance in November and February. After this resistance broke in April, the shares consolidated, and the level became a support level. Currently, I believe resistance is at $208 . . .

My point is that this is potentially an excellent sign for investors or traders - whom complained/regretted about missing the former buying opportunity, when it was in the $170s, $180s, and low $190s . . .

Support is NOW $196 and resistance has been raised to $208. In other words, I can almost guarantee that NVDA's price will NOT go below $196, unless there is a macro world event that effects the entire market. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. What do you think?
