Episode 189: NFL Plus, Walmart Earnings

<p>The National Football League now has its own streaming service. The streaming service will be called NFL+ for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. The subscription will include all out-of-market preseason games, which was formerly only available with a subscription to NFL Game Pass for $99.99 per year. The NFL preseason kicks off Aug. 4 with the Jacksonville Jaguars facing the Las Vegas Raiders. Looking at the data, the picture is indeed nuanced. Nothing right now is screaming recession, though there is plenty of chatter. The jobs market is still pretty good, manufacturing is weakening but still expanding, and consumers still seem fairly flush with cash, if somewhat less willing to part with it these days. If nothing else, the economy stands at least a fair a chance of hitting the rule-of-thumb recession definition of two consecutive quarters with negative GDP readings. The first quarter saw a gross domestic product decline of 1.6% and an Atlanta Federal Reserve gauge is indicating the second quarter is on pace to hit the same number. Walmart cut its quarterly and full-year profit guidance, saying inflation is causing shoppers to spend more on necessities such as food and less on items like clothing and electronics. Walmart said it now anticipates adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter and full year to to decline around 8% to 9% and 11% to 13%, respectively. It had previously expected them to be flat to up slightly for the second quarter and to drop by about 1% for the full year.</p> <p>📚Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=reginald+seay&amp;crid=XNP2FB40Q3TH&amp;sprefix=reginald+seay%2Caps%2C232&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss</p> <p>📚 Course: https://market-marauders-complete-guides.teachable.com/p/the-complete-guide-to-cryptocurrency</p> <p>📚Website: www.marketmarauders.net</p> <p>🦩Twitter: @yourequest</p> <p>😎Instagram: market_marauders</p> <p>📧Email: reg24k@gmail.com</p> <p>🚧 DISCLAIMER🚧</p> <p>I am not a qualified licensed investment advisor.
