I do not know of a private enterprise that has better database on its profile clients than wlmrt and that knows how to juice 'em for profit.
now... in light of wlmrt' stock tank
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/18/what-walmart-target-home-depot-and-lowes-tell-us-about-the-economy.html
I suspect the depth of the tank (-20%) had to do more with momentum players (baby & bath water) than cold spreadsheet valuation calculation. wlmrt is a BoD and more if it goes off another 20% (or ...) tomorrow or by friday

Update (1600ET): Elon Musk confirmed comments made on Monday that he would be voting Republican in the next election, tweeting on Wednesday:
"In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party.
"But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican," he said, adding "Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold �" (which we presume will include George Soros and associated tentacles).

Musk also replied to Yale medical professor Howard Forman's assertion that because Musk has been "explicitly political," he should "expect people to treat you as such," adding "Which part of that is confusing to you?"
To which Musk said: "I�m not surprised at all. That was to inoculate the public. As a prominent vaccine advocate, you should understand that," adding: "Yale is the epicenter of the woke mind virus attempting to destroy civilization."

�While Tesla may be playing its part in taking fuel-powered cars off the road, it has fallen behind its peers when examined through a wider ESG lens."

what is unhealthy, from a social point-of-view, are healthy consumer balance sheets: it makes folks picky about work(ing), it gives them free time and ability to riot in the streets about various social issues whereas IF they were in debt upto and beyond eyeballs worrying about losing roof and where next meal comes from they d be doing the murrikan thing instead (dubuya's three jobs)

Negative rates are fiscal policy.
Negative rates are a tax on European banks and on European savers.
Getting rid of negative rates would be a mega boost to European consumer sentiment.
Lagarde is incredibly slow in taking decisions and ha always been wrong in her many speeches.

ECB has been way too slow to raise rates as high inflation is destabilizing Europe.
Boosting its balance sheet to new record highs and keeping negative rates while inflation is soaring brings long-term damage to the ECB's credibility.

ECB Needs to Move Quickly From Negative Rates, Rehn Says
Euro-area inflation held at record rate of 7.4% in April
De Cos suggests consecutive hikes in the coming quarters
There�s broad agreement among members of the European Central Bank�s Governing Council that negative interest rates should end �relatively quickly,� according to Bank of Finland Governor Olli Rehn.
That�s to prevent inflation expectations from becoming de-anchored, Rehn said Wednesday in a speech in Helsinki, as data showed euro-area consumer-price growth held at a record 7.4% in April -- almost four times the ECB�s target.
