Medtronic has lost its heart

Today I came to a realization that Medtronic has lost its heart that made it what it once was. The mindsets to get ahead now are more in line with wall street (wolf of Wall Street reference) than with a company who gives people a second chance at life. Try to model a different leadership style or speak up and well….


Why Do We Avoid TDC?

Teradata (TDC)
Consensus Price Target: $35.73 (40.2% implied return)
Pioneering data warehousing technology in the 1980s before "big data" was a common term, Teradata (NYSE:TDC) provides cloud-based data analytics and AI platforms that help large enterprises integrate, analyze, and leverage their data across multiple environments.

Why Do We Avoid TDC?
Offerings struggled to generate interest as its billings were flat over the last year
Projected sales for the next 12 months are flat and suggest demand will be subdued
Sky-high servicing costs result in an inferior gross margin of 59.8% that must be offset through increased usage

At $25.48 per share, Teradata trades at 1.5x forward price-to-sales.


It is official!!

NIKE is certified $40.00 stock.
Let's hope that it does not hit $30.00
Yesterday's news was so bad that seems like Wall Street got a surprise and they don't like surprises.
Seems like everyone is capitulating this stock and leaving with no support.
No one is valiant enough to step in and pull this Titanic from sinking.

There goes my 401k, I guess I will be a greeter in Walmart when I retire


Higher Energy Prices, the U.S. economy; and Jobs.

Oil prices, and U.S. jobs created (nationally) -

  • 2025 - 125,000 Total - Revised downwards from 181,000.

  • 2026 - 34,000 Total - Non-Revised.

Higher Energy prices will remain for months (or longer) even if the U.S. Iran War ends (in the future) due to numerous factors including (the already damaged Energy infrastructure in the Mideast) with Iran remaining in control of the Strait of Hormuz.

  • The U.S. will see  Oil prices (the highest) during the Summer peak season, Asia; and Europe; will see it first-now.

LNG not so much in the U.S. but that also applies as well.

  • The U.S. economy, and (Wall Street) are (currently) underestimating the effects of higher Oil; and LNG prices to a lessor extent, on consumer spending; and jobs.

It will (not if) affect numerous product pricing, and supply chains; in virtually every industry.


Sabre at a Crossroads

Sabre just issued an 8K outlining its limited-duration shareholder rights plan (basically telling Wall Street they have a short term 'poison pill' strategy) following the accumulation of a significant amount of stock by Constellation Software. Sabre's travel customers now not only have to worry about whether Sabre can deliver the products they need, but whether they will even have ownership stability since the stock started to be traded at The Dollar Store. I don't know about you, but Sabre has probably run out of runway to repair the balance sheet in time to invest in any credible product development that can compete with PROS, Accelya, or FLYR's PSS alternative's in the PSS arena. What do you think?


Investor Day BS

Brace yourselves people, put on your big boy pants because if you thought the last 3 years were rough budget wise internally since Investor Day 2023, get ready for the wallets to be even tighter than they were the last 3 years…..can’t make this stuff up. The stock is almost at it’s all-time high range so these people can’t lose any steam and traction. They want to promise Wall Street even more greed

Stock price rise is crazy!

Cisco’s P/E ratio is 33+ - higher than Google, Amazon, Meta and Netflix. That’s crazy- Wall Street is valuing Cisco higher than all these other companies!

If I have one regret about not being in Cisco it’s this: stock was dead for many years and now that I’m no longer in, has taken off like a rocket! Just my luck I guess, don’t think anything changed significantly but the external perceptions sure have.


Layoffs due to AI are no longer making Wall Street and investors happy

While CEOs have spent months framing layoffs as a strategic shift toward AI-driven efficiency, the equity market has perceived recent layoff announcements as a negative signal about company’ prospects. "AI restructuring" is often a convenient cover for desperate cost-cutting necessitated by declining profitability.


Wall Street Has Stopped Rewarding 'Strategic' Layoffs (fortune.com)

The traditional Wall Street playbook held that layoffs tied to strategic restructuring would boost stock prices, while cuts driven by declining sales would hurt them. That distinction appears to have collapsed.
Goldman's analysts suggest investors simply don't believe what companies are saying ... The real driver, analysts suspect, may be cost reduction to offset rising interest expenses and declining profitability rather than any forward-looking efficiency play.

Nobody Mentioned This

SB in response to one of the canned questions; "it's impossible to forecast quarter to quarter for Wall Street". Wait, what?!!! I thought that is your job. Then he followed with a telling slip of the tongue; "That's why companies go private and can come back out on the other side". He's done a yoemans job of plowing the share price into the ground and now he's hoping for a buyer to execute the plan his boss Carl brought him in here to do in the first place.


$71 billion in stock buybacks over the last 5 years.

$40 billion more approved for 2026 and beyond.

It doesn’t matter that they are rolling in cash. They want you gone because there is never enough cash for those who worship it.

Capitalism destroys itself without a strong democratic government that protects its citizens. The government we have is bought by the capitalists.


BNY and so called AI growth- Emperor is not wearing anything!

Robin and his toadies are telling the finance media a lot of fanciful stories on AI growth acceleration:

BNY now has 117 AI solutions in production, a 75% increase versus the prior quarter, including digital agents for payment validation and code repair. The company sees AI as a key enabler of efficiency and service innovation, with further benefits expected as adoption broadens

What in the world are these? They certainly aren’t applications. They are likely edits and mysource data content generators. But 117? Why is it that we the indentured ‘serfs’ working on Robin’s plantation never see or hear what these are? I go to all the town halls and product launch meetings ad nauseum and I never hear of this. Why do we find this out by reading Wall street journal and Bloomberg and not internally???

Not to mention they ‘imply’ or try to lead you to believe that AI is helping drive client growth:

Client activity and market trends: Higher client balances, robust trading, and increased ETF and private market flows

That’s just Jim Dandy, but it has more to do with the Government making market conditions way more favorable. BNY is just getting the benefit in spite of itself. And…. If you really take this apart, there is no increase in AUM! We are not winning major new business.

That’s the story and it’s why the market community is not responding with cheers. Investors are catching on to what this company and its shell game board of directors are really doing…. And what BNY is outright lying about!


U.S. economic-financial system - Debt (bubbles) at a (record).

U.S. economic-financial system -

Debt bubbles (ultimately) lead to crashes (especially in the stock market).

It has been proven time-and-time again in U.S. history.

All of these are at (record) levels.

List of (current) U.S. debt bubbles -

U.S. National debt - $37.8 Trillion, and (rising) exponentially per usdebtclock (add another $3.74 Trillion (minimum) from the Trump Tax bill). Financed by outside Investors (a record).

U.S. mortgage debt - $12.94 Trillion, and (rising) as of 2025 2nd quarter (a record).

U.S. credit card debt - $1.21 Trillion, and (rising) as of 2025 2nd quarter (a record).

U.S. automotive debt - $1.66 Trillion, and (rising) as of 2025 3rd quarter (a record).

U.S. student loan debt - $1.81 Trillion, and (rising) as of 2025 2nd quarter (a record).

There is also (record) debt ($1.06 Trillion, August 2025 per FINRA) in the stock market by Investors financing purchases.

These are the facts.


Misrepresentation to Wall Street

I’ve seen many stock market analyst calls where turnaround, reinvention, etc are claimed. Same with initiatives like OwnIT, re-imagine, etc. Also revenue promises from things never really monetized: 3D print, digital paper, etc. I observe Wall Street eats it up and then, when these things didn’t deliver - silence. Maybe now that dividend and finances r in the toilet we might see a strong sell opinion? Not holding my breath.


Amazon and Nike.....

got hammered on Friday together...
AMZN and NKE is main culprit of Dow going down 900 points

Wall Street views AMZN and NKE will be most affected by new round of trade that will be started by China and Trump...

Is next time for NKE $50.00s or lower if stock markets gets into REAL bear market?....


$T stock declines after CEO doubles down on RTO

$T down nearly 10% after Stankey doubles down on RTO. Wall Street’s not buying the “culture” fairy tale either. You can’t rebuild trust by draining morale and calling it collaboration. That 8/1 email did irreparable damage. Put a nice hole in his golden parachute too. PROOF RTO DOES NOT WORK!


Today Felt Pretty Petty and Bad

Today felt pretty bad. The kind of bad where reality and optics are completely out of sync. While Oracle stock surged and leadership paraded promotions and new CEO appointments, there was no mention of the thousands of employees who had just been cut loose. No headlines, no acknowledgment — just silence.

For those who lived it, it wasn’t celebration; it was a gut punch. Families were left scrambling while Wall Street cheered. Real people — with mortgages, medical bills, kids in school — were collateral damage, erased from the story because their pain didn’t fit the narrative.

The cruelty is in the contrast: executives heralded for “transformation” while entire teams vanish without recognition. And it doesn’t stop here. More cuts are coming. Everyone knows it.

Pair that with Larry open alignment with Trump and the company’s growing grip on sensitive data, and the ethical rot becomes impossible to ignore. This isn’t strategy; it’s cynicism. It’s corporate America at its most hollow.

Today felt pretty bad — not just for the people who were cut, but for what it says about what’s celebrated, and what’s forgotten.
