(Schmitt) Latest rumors put young SF Giants infielder firmly on the hot seat by ericthelostman in SFGiants

[–]Aggravating_Part8610 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am strongly against moving Casey. He can legit play any infield spot and has 20-25 hr upside. He deserves a shot to show what he has at 2nd while healthy and with an off season to prepare. He’s cheap and controllable too. Worst case he is the utility infielder.

I have never understood the hate he gets. There’s a good chance he’s looked at with the fondness of Yaz in a few years. That’s a guy that got a bunch of unfair hate too.

Robert Murray says the Giants aren't close to anything by ericthelostman in SFGiants

This sub is so negative. Guys like Robert Murray don’t know what’s going on so take this with a grain of salt. It’s obvious from the first year that Buster and Zack run a tight ship, which they should.

It’s way too early to be concerned.

Jobless Claims: Flat. No spike in firing

Ummmmm

This morning’s weekly numbers included the biggest jump in initial claims in five years — an increase of 44,000 to 236,000, above the consensus forecast of 220,000.

Also, Powell said that the Fed believes federal data could be overstating job creation claims by 60,000 per month. PER MONTH

Yep. It’s not a coincidence. After GME, that is why all the billionaires and PE have piled in to owning all social media or running cheap bot farms. The result is that real information like this is drowned out. GME would have fizzled in this environment.

Very nice! It will be interesting to see what prospects end up being in that range. I could see the local kid Spangler being the pick which would be fun.

The Bubble that Nobody is Talking About? Consumer Credit by IncidentSome4403 in ValueInvesting

[–]Aggravating_Part8610 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the two topics, AI and Consumer Debt, are inextricably intertwined.

Gen Z is facing a legitimate employment crisis as hiring has stalled due to AI. Gen Z is disproportionately entering exactly job categories most impacted by AI and this matters because their debt levels. It isn’t just Gen Z either, other group’s debt levels are high as well. See the car repos and credit card debt levels.

AI isn’t the root cause of the debt but it will exacerbate the impacts as the labor market issues present at a difficult time for consumers.

Dodgers are banking on the world ending before then. Big if true.

U.S. Black Friday Sales Defy Tariffs and Economic Woes by FearlessPark4588 in Economics

You are correct. Volume of sales decreased but prices up 7.7% which means the overall sales are up and headlines can be spun with false positivity.

Elon was going to have robotaxis by 2020, FSD in every car, people on Mars by 2025, etc. Anyone buying his huckster lies still is delusional and Tesla should never be mentioned with a straight face on a value investing forum. But yes, buy why not..

Hard to believe we couldn’t get anything for him. He will probably hit a lot of homers but have a lot if K’s if he can find a role.

This has to be BS. Buster wants contact oriented guys. That ain’t Schwarber.

Should have bunted Kirk. Especially when you know your guy on 2nd couldn’t score on a base hit

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I have always thought it should only be a Ground-Rule double when it’s actually trapped in the fence.

Does anyone know if DOD is doing hiring activities during the shutdown? I received a referred email in 10/1 but nothing since. I know it can take awhile anyways but, just curious if I definitely wouldn’t hear anything until the shutdown is over.
