Target turning down the air conditioning. Not a single peep.

I wonder why this is. Hmmm. Interesting.

You do realize that the grids are being pushed to the maximum in the NE, Pacific NW and last week in Tx due to heat and energy companies were requesting everyone to cut back on energy use during peak hours in those areas right?

BBBY was said to be turning down the AC in stores nationwide for cost savings.


It's two entirely different planets being discusssed.

With that said, if you take out puts on Target right now you'll probably do really well. As for BBBY, puts would be a great play as would calls given it is setting up for a great SS since everyone knows that company is toast.

I can’t really disagree with anything you said. From my perspective I think any possible thing that can create negative sentiment in BBBY is on over drive right now. I think that’s because there is a ton of weight on the short side.

I mentioned this somewhere upthread, but Target has been controlling the AC at all of its stores nationwide from it’s Minnesota HQ for at least the last 15 yrs.. it’s one reason i chose to shop at Target less often in the summers when i lived in Houston since the stores were kept so warm and i found out from an employee there that they had no control over the AC setting.. just terrible penny pinching .

Great observation that this isn’t anything super recent.

I have tons of puts for this week but got really lucky on Coinbase. Nothing like BTC going down 10% in two days then SEC announcing a probe on Coinbase when holding longshot COIN puts. Those things are manufacturing money today.

I got a $3200 electric bill today on my 11,000 Sq Ft building. As much as I would love to dial the AC back to save money I'm sure my employees and the 130 dogs they are watching play today would not.

Supposed to be 105* today. It was 72* in the back when I left earlier.

Oh well. Gotta do what's right.

General assumption is 1*F will save you 1-2% on an energy bill for a home. Commercial is assumed at 2-3%. Between 74-76*F from 72*F may not be that noticeable to most people and pets. However, $200-400/mo might not be worth fiddling with if your business doesn’t miss it.

Have you looked into solar? That's an insane bill for a building that size. Assuming the building is closed at night you could probably pay for solar to eliminate your electricity costs in just a couple of years.

I know I've been very happy with the solar I had installed. It's nice seeing credits on even the hottest weeks of the year and having battery backup has been great for the frequent power outages we get in rural Ms.

I looked into it awhile back but never pulled the trigger. Looking to sell and retire in the next year so probably will not do it.

The building has 4 roll up doors with refrigerator flaps on them but even if they are open for a short time to let the dogs play in the outside yards it takes a while to cool the building back down with the heat we have been having. The largest bill I've gotten in 16 1/2 years.

I have 8 large units on the roof that are serviced pretty close to every month so pulling a lot of electricity.

I grabbed some TSLA calls at $830 and $850 this morning. Thank god for that or I would have been roasted. I couldnt have been more wrong about this week yet Im up 3%. Ive been dead right plenty before in the past but I feel like Ive really had a horrific week but my few winners were so big it bailed out my horrific decisions.

Market is acting like the bottom is in but I feel like we are really early in this book. It may run for the next month but there is no way the economy doesnt slow more without inflation staying really high.
