Carmine Trapani (@Carminoooch) reported@AmazonHelp you sell stuff that doesn’t work or is used, then I send it back wait 30 days to be told my refund can’t be issued. I am beyond frustrated. This is happening more and more. I’m being denied a claim for a circuit breaker that is not working. Bad!

Mario (@PawlowskiMario) reported@chillin_tha I actually bought a cooler with a fan by coincidence, it was discontinued on amazon from like $500-$600, I don’t remember exactly, down to $150 or so on the Black Friday and turn it into the curing and dry-aging chamber. Also buy a good hygrometer, make sure it’s good for closed spaces, not the one for the outdoor

Man With A Dog (@manwithadogg) reportedNear-term Fed hike odds just got pushed out. Markets are ripping. Here’s what’s real and what’s noise. 🧵 Money markets still project a Fed hike in 2026 - just not before December. That’s the shift driving today’s rally. Not “no hike.” A later hike. The S&P is rising toward a record, on pace for its best week since April. The Nasdaq 100 is up about 1%. The dollar is falling. Short-dated Treasuries are outperforming. Buy the delay, not the dovishness. Here’s the part that matters more long term: The Magnificent 7’s valuation premium over the S&P 500 has fallen to its lowest level in a decade from a typical 30% premium down to roughly 10%. Combined, they’re still worth $22.7 trillion — 23.5% of the entire market. Same dominance. Historically cheap relative price. That combination doesn’t last long. Under the hood, the group has split into two camps — Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet and Meta leading the rebound, while Tesla, Microsoft and Apple have trailed. “Mag 7” is a label now, not one trade. I own Microsoft. I own Tesla. Neither one is riding the same wave as Nvidia right now and that’s exactly why I watch them individually, not as a basket. $SPY $MSFT $TSLA $NVDA

Mario Gordillo (Better Together) (@MarioGordilloR) reportedDaily Markets & Business Briefing — August 7, 2026 1. July payrolls shock sharply lowers the probability of another Fed hike. The U.S. economy unexpectedly lost 23,000 jobs in July, versus expectations for an 80,000 gain. May and June were also revised down by a combined 103,000 jobs. Unemployment slipped to 4.1%, but largely because labor-force participation fell to 61.4%. Market impact: Treasury yields fell, the dollar weakened and the Nasdaq rose about 0.7% as traders cut the implied probability of a September Fed hike to roughly 40–44%. Watch next: next week’s inflation data. A soft CPI would be particularly supportive for long-duration growth stocks. 2. This is a meaningful positive for Big Tech valuations. Lower expected rates mechanically improve the present value of future earnings, which is especially relevant to NVIDIA, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla. The immediate equity reaction was positive after the jobs report. Market analysis: for your core tech exposure, today’s weak labor data is initially bullish because it reduces rate pressure. The risk is that investors eventually interpret weak employment as a genuine growth slowdown rather than simply a reason for the Fed to pause. Watch next: whether falling yields continue to lift Nasdaq leadership without a simultaneous deterioration in earnings expectations. 3. Tesla and SpaceX deepen vertical integration with a US$16.8 billion AI-chip plant. Tesla and SpaceX announced an initial US$16.8 billion investment in a massive Texas semiconductor complex called Terafab, designed to manufacture, package and test AI chips for Optimus, Cybercab and SpaceX’s future space-based data centers. Total investment could eventually rise substantially beyond the initial phase. Market analysis: strategically positive because it reduces reliance on external chip capacity, but it also materially raises capital intensity. For Tesla, the investment increases the importance of successfully monetizing robotics and autonomy. Watch next: project timing, funding requirements, Intel’s participation and whether the spending starts affecting Tesla/SpaceX free cash flow. 4. The AI trade remains strong, but investors are punishing anything short of exceptional execution. This week AMD fell about 7% after earnings despite a revenue beat, while Sandisk and Western Digital also dropped following strong results. Reuters notes that S&P 500 earnings growth is tracking toward nearly 50% year over year this quarter, yet several high-growth technology names sold off after reporting. Market analysis: this is the key signal for NVIDIA: underlying AI demand remains powerful, but valuation sensitivity is rising. “Beat” is no longer sufficient; investors want accelerating guidance and evidence of return on capital. Watch next: NVIDIA customer CAPEX guidance and any sign that hyperscalers are slowing AI infrastructure commitments. 5. Energy remains the biggest macro wildcard. Brent crude traded around US$82 as negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz competed with renewed Middle East tensions, including attacks linked to the Houthis. Market analysis: lower oil plus weaker employment would be an ideal combination for Big Tech because both reduce inflationary pressure and Fed tightening risk. A renewed oil spike would reverse part of today’s valuation benefit. Watch next: any U.S.-Iran agreement affecting Hormuz access and crude prices over the weekend.

Larry Tentarelli, Blue Chip Daily (@bluechipdaily) reportedA few reasons why I use stop losses: 1. As a rookie broker at ML in 1999-2002, I saw people lose most of their life savings because they didn't know when to sell. 2. I saw "long-term investors" take losses at 50-80% and not buy back in. Everyone is long term until their stocks are down 30-50%. 3. None of us are Buffett or Druckenmiller - or Michael Jordan or Tom Brady. 4. Bear Stearns Lehman Brothers Washington Mutual Sun Microsystems Nortel Networks EMC MCI Worldcom Global Crossing Enron Blackberry Compaq Nextel Everyone has to do what works best for them. For every Amazon and Apple, there is a Nortel Networks or MCI Worldcom.

Jen Koenig (@JenPrimalCoach) reported@WeinerBarf420 @NeptuneACX1000 Yes on the vets! Interesting tidbit. We’ve been through several vets for our two dogs, all being bought up by PE and all raising prices drastically and pushing more expensive treatments and medications for our healthy animals on their checkups. We kept switching to a family owned vet only to have them be unable to compete and sell out. Well money got tight, as it is for so many, so we just stopped taking them for their annuals, vowing to only go if they had a pressing medical need. One of the things we had them on were these expensive monthly combo chews for fleas, worms, etc. Was costing us $75/month per dog, so $150/ month total. So expensive and then we realized we were literally poisoning their blood stream with insecticide so fleas and parasites wouldn’t stay. We stopped the chews. Turns out healthy dogs rarely get worms etc and our eco friendly pest service sprays the yard they spend most of their time in for fleas as part of our $50/month service. When we go for a walk outside of the house we rub a little peppermint or lavender oil on their fur. No fleas. No worms. No parasites. No nothing. Going on two years now. We live in South Carolina too. Not like fleas and bugs aren’t a big thing here. I can’t believe we spent that kind of money thinking our dogs and home would be infested with fleas of we’re didn’t only to stop it and… nothing! 😡 Also, one of our dogs is senior. A golden lab mix who was 12 at the time. They wanted to do dozens of repeating tests, put her on pills, schedule bi-weekly visits etc. all at exorbitant costs. Told us we were neglectful to her aging needs if we didn’t submit and that she’d die in pain if we didn’t. We walked away. Found a collagen chew on Amazon for her hip arthritis to replace the $80/month prescription that gave her digestive issues (with another recommended pill and monthly tests for that!) and it works wonderfully at $15/month with no side effects. That’s it. Then we just love her and take care of her without all the medicalization of simple aging. She’s almost 14 now still with us, still happy, going slower in her age but doing well. Just taking the inexpensive collagen chews. Whether it’s our dogs or ourselves, my family does better staying away from corporate medicine.

Adam Taylor (@adamtaylorl) reportedWe took a brand from $90K to $2.1M/month in 7 months. And the entire thing came down to one uncomfortable truth: They didn't need more ads. Let me explain – because this brand had the exact three problems I see in almost every account I audit… Problem 1: Creative fatigue. Recycled influencer UGC and product reviews. Conversion rates declining month after month. Problem 2: No creative system. Ad creation was reactive. Something dies, panic, make something new, hope. Problem 3: Audience gaps. The 50+ demographic was showing massive purchase intent. They'd never made a single ad for them. Now here's the misdiagnosis almost every brand makes at this point… They think the answer is volume. More UGC. More statics. More "testing." Spray and pray. But you don't need more creative. You need the RIGHT creative – for your brand, your customer, your funnel. And you find it through research, not brainstorms. So before we wrote a single headline, we went where their customer actually speaks… Reddit. Facebook comments. Amazon reviews. Post-purchase surveys. Their own previous ads. We mapped the pain points, objections and daily frustrations in the customer's exact words… Then turned those words into ad concepts. We got so specific we were building segments like dog owners, tradesmen… even Uber drivers. Then we tested new angles with statics before spending a dollar on video. Same ad concepts with different headlines. Want to see why this matters? Three near-identical statics went live. Within 7 days: One got $139 in spend. One got $10. One got $3,000 – profitably. Same concept. The headline was the only difference. Most brands run tests like this and never use the data. We treated it as the customer telling us exactly what to build next… And only THEN did winning angles get rebuilt as videos. One more thing most people get wrong here: Everyone makes 2-3 hook variations per concept. We make 5. In one ad set: three hooks spent less than $2 each… One spent $2.2K… And one spent $22.4K at 2.66 ROAS. If we'd stopped at three variations, that ad might not exist. The hook is your biggest leverage point. Give the algorithm more chances to find it. The results after 7 months: → $90K to $2.1M/month in revenue → 70-80 orders a day to 500+ → Spend up 23x with no ROAS drop → Individual ads spending $285K, $197K, $170K, $120K… all at 2.4-3 ROAS → Client time on creative: under 5 hours a month We didn't find one winning ad. We built the system that finds them on repeat. That's the difference between a creative dump and a creative system… And it's why most brands stay stuck at $90K. I've got dozens more breakdowns like this from inside our accounts. So if this was valuable and you want more, let me know.

Cubs At Bat: Podcast (@CubsAtBat) reported@ooooeyukagen22 @TalkinBaseball_ @amazon Playing DH is mainly hitting and running and if it’s bothering him so much then he should take a break.

Tommy Toy (@TGT112246) reportedSCAM ALERT!! DO NOT BUY APIASTAR OPTIREADERS PRO GLASSES. THEY CLAIM THAT THEY CAN REPLACE PRESCRIPTION GLASSES. IS A LIE. DO NOT BUY. Products marketed as “Apiastar Optireaders Pro” (or very similar “OptiReaders Pro” / progressive “smart zoom” reading glasses) sold around $39.99 show strong red flags typical of overhyped, dropshipped eyewear and are generally not worth buying. No prominent independent reviews, official company details, clinical studies, or established retailer presence specifically match “Apiastar.” It appears to fit a common pattern of rebranded generic multifocal or progressive reading glasses sold under many names (Besyner OptiReaders Pro, Opdgea, Yifare, Solymall, Hilipert, Hewelth, and others). These are heavily advertised online with claims of intelligent/self-adjusting zoom, seamless near-to-far vision, photochromic adaptation, and near-100% blue-light blocking—often at discounted prices like $39.99 (from claimed higher “regular” prices). Key Issues ++ Exaggerated or unsupported claims: True progressive/multifocal lenses require custom measurements and an eye exam for proper fit and prescription. Generic “one-size” versions (often fixed-power or basic progressive readers) cannot reliably replace prescription glasses or deliver “smart zoom” that auto-adjusts to any eyesight. Independent analyses and user feedback describe them as ordinary inexpensive readers with marketing buzzwords. ++ Quality and performance: Many similar products are low-cost Chinese dropship items (available wholesale far cheaper). Reviews frequently note flimsy frames, limited or no real multifocal benefit, poor durability, and vision no better than basic drugstore readers. ++ Sales and billing practices: Common complaints across these brands include deceptive checkout flows, unexpected extra items, and especially hidden/auto-enrolled “VIP” or subscription memberships that trigger recurring charges (e.g., ~$30/month). Refunds can be difficult, with delayed shipping, poor support, and partial refunds only. ++ Lack of legitimacy signals: New or low-profile sites, testimonials mainly on their own pages, urgency/discount pressure, and no verifiable optometrist endorsements or peer-reviewed evidence are recurring patterns flagged in scam-watch reviews and videos. These are often not pure “take the money and send nothing” scams—they typically ship a pair of inexpensive glasses—but the combination of misleading claims, markup, and billing traps makes them high-risk and poor value. Comparable basic reading glasses are available far more reliably (and often cheaper) from established retailers like Amazon, pharmacies, or optical chains without the hype or subscription risks. ++ Recommendation: Skip them. Get a proper eye exam for any vision needs (especially progressive or multifocal prescriptions). For simple readers, buy known brands with verified reviews from reputable sellers. If you’ve already ordered, monitor your statements closely for extra charges, document everything, and pursue a refund or chargeback through your payment provider if issues arise. !!@@!!

Sckivar (@Sckivarllc) reportedAmazon started assigning your handling time for you if you don't set it yourself. Not a suggestion. An automatic override based on your own recent shipping history. Slow one month, & Amazon locks in "slow" as your new default. That number is quietly deciding your placement now.
