Shorted SPY Last Night as Oscillator Slips to Neutral

The S&P Short Range Oscillator slipped from modestly oversold to neutral at -0.06% vs. -0.66%.

Yesterday I traded $SPY from the short side and made a small profit on the move lower from the highs.

Last night I reloaded on the short side:

My View on Netflix

Repeating for emphasis, I would not bottom fish in Netflix ($NFLX).

I expect in line-to-better 2Q2026 results but a possible lower forward guidance as margins are pressured.

From last month:

Netflix Is Too Low to Short and Too High to Buy

I would continue to avoid buying (and “bottom fishing”) in Netflix (NFLX) for the reasons I have previously mentioned:

* Netflix has nearly saturated the domestic market (as well as many other developed countries).  These markets are significantly more profitable than the non developed arena.

* Future Netflix sales/profit growth will come from developing country markets that provide substantially less revenue (and income) per subscriber. 

* Netflix’s original content programming has been unspectacular over the last 12 months (or more) — and existing content has suffered.

In the past I have been short NFLX, but it is no longer priced as an attractive short.

PayPal Reports Lobbying Congress on Marijuana Banking Reform in Third Quarter

The SAFE Banking Act would establish federal protections for financial institutions providing services to state-legal marijuana businesses, addressing longstanding concerns about access to banking and payment processing services within the industry.

Beyond marijuana banking, PayPal’s third-quarter disclosure identifies lobbying on cryptocurrency regulation, small business lending, artificial intelligence, consumer financial protections, taxation and trade policy.
