Who loves Marathon Petroleum?
The current administration has created a bottleneck for refiners and big oil companies.

I own marathon through two ETFs, one of which I increased my holding in December and now those large oil companies are a third of my portfolio. 👍🏼
Edit- pardon. These stock comment threads deserve more explanation and I did not really give it. I was 20% in oil ETFs and CNQ a year ago. I allocated more to it in December because I see it as a way to play market divergence. I still have a significant amount in broad market ETFs and I wanted to offset those with a sector that I thought had room to run.

Essentially, my oil stuff went up and then back down slightly positive for about a year. With the current gov admin, I think companies like marathon have room to run but look at that chart I would not touch it here, it has ran up too hard just in the last month and a half. I do think the large oil ETFs like FENY still have room.

So part of my overall strategy is to offset a potential divergence (read overall market softening) in the market with oil.

ZION From a quick look and a pure chart perspective (I know nothing of this co other than the chart so take it FWIW) it has been consolidating in a pennant pattern on a rise which suggests a bullish breakout. Pretty classic hitting the marks.

It might be worth watching HIMS

the CEO came out saying he would hire the university protestors and his stock dropped 8%~ classic go woke.

Theres a chance this thing drops into the gutter….and then a turnaround opp

Be nice to see it get hammered to 9. Lots of support coming in at 9ish.
I need to look at it....it seems boner pills turns a pretty good profit.In principle, I try to stay away from these Woke companies...but thats a bit hypocritical considering that I own a big position in GOOG

Some bigger players marked it and started betting against it for some reason about the 3rd week of March. What did they know before last weeks statement which added fuel to the fire? I haven’t spent more time yet to try to dig up the reason.
