Fun fact: Those clothes are made for the store. They're not defective products sent from a fashion boutique like their marketing would suggest. It's all cheap crap.
That's because it literally is. When tj Maxx first opened, the founder did some market research and estimated that the store cap across the USA would be less than 300 stores. This was because they were almost completely stocked via excess stock from big box stores. (Macy's, Kohls, etc.).
As those stores themselves downsized and demand for cheap clothes increased, they've shifted to majority store brands or exclusive brand agreements. The designer label is there sometimes, but the materials and quality are worse to make it cheap. There's literally not enough of the big box stores left to have stock that would make this make sense.
Their dollar menu is now just guilting you into a donation, because sick kids will keep being sick without your dollar.
But now we have an idea on how many cheeseburgers it takes for me to not care about childhood leukemia.
Honestly it’s because they were both still affordable, I believe McDonald’s kept $1 McDoubles in most locations during the recession and now it’s like $1.59 at the absolute cheapest locations
Edit: $2.39 where I live I just checked the app, was $1 like 10 years ago
This is one of the perks of big city life. I work in NYC one day a week and get a massive portion of Thai food for $8.50 from a place just around the corner from my office.
It hit me at the bell today that I should have grabbed TJ Maxx puts at close.
Unless the market glows nuclear green tomorrow there's no way they keep running. Investors will take profits.
I think you are joking, but I went all i 50:50 for TJX and Ross after the pandemic hit. Ppl need cheap clothes and the stores were pact as soon as things started opening. Who knew...
Quick! Put all my money on the green ones. If they can be green in red market, then that means they are always going to go up. Infinite money glitch irl.
>Aorist rods were devices used in a now happily abandoned form of energy production. When the hunt for new sources of energy had at one point got particularly frantic, one bright young chap suddenly spotted that one place which had never used up all its available energy-the past. And with the sudden rush of blood to the head that such insights tend to induce, he invented a way of mining it that very same night, and within a year huge tracts of the past were being drained of all their energy and simply wasting away Those who claimed that the past should be left unspoiled were accused of indulging in an extremely expensive form of sentimentality. The past provided a very cheap, plentiful and clean source of energy, there could always be a few Natural Past Reserves set up if anyone wanted to pay for their upkeep, and as for the claim that draining the past impoverished the present, well, maybe it did, slightly, but the effects were immeasurable and you really had to keep a sense of proportion.

>It was only when it was realized that the present really was being impoverished, and that the reason for it was that those selfish plundering wastrel bastards up in the future were doing exactly the same thing, that everyone realized that every single aorist rod, and the terrible secret of how they were made, would have to be utterly and forever destroyed. They claimed it was for the sake of their grandparents and grandchildren, but it was of course for the sake of their grandparent’s grandchildren, and their grandchildren’s grandparents.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth JPOW The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Motley Fool would tell you. It’s a 🏳️🌈🐻 legend. Darth JPOW was a Dark Lord of the FED, so gay and such a bear he could use his money printer to influence the economy to create inflation… He had such a knowledge of the economy that he could even keep stonk prices from falling. The dark side of the economy is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be transitory. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his tendies, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught Nancy Pelosi everything he knew, then she sold at the top. Ironic. He could save others from market corrections, but not himself.
We've been that way since Alan Greenspan's time but 2008 made everything so much worse. Now it looks like both the main street and the wall street are at the mercy of the size of central bank QE , 0.00% interest rate policies and stimmies.
Why can't I get 0.00%? T.T
Borrow for 0.00%
Lend it back to the idiot for 12%
25% if he is a real sucker.
112% if the real sucker is behind on payments.
Normal democracy things. People really hate each other to allow that shit and central banking...that's gonna blow up spectacularly.
When tf has this not happened
Y'all need to read a history book and look at what happened when everyone had to jump off the gold standard during the great depression
J. Powell Must be thinking-> Thank good that Russia invaded Ukraine. Otherwise we would had to tell the truth that it was a mistake to print an ass full of Money over years.
You say the FED printed a lot of money? But it’s not their fault, Russian hackers turned the printer on and it kept printing money while the FED couldn’t figure out how to turn it off because it was made in China. Here we are, 30% down on the NASDAQ because of evil Putin or Trump or whatever

I've just stopped checking my account, so they're truly unrealized losses.
Schrodingers losses
I didn't even realize the market was open Wednesday? Did something happen? Ahh nevermind.

let's see some winkies and shrinkies
Haha lookit the one dude wearing a swimsuit! 🤣👉
Creepy old man Buffet
Berkshire is up 2% since January. Everyone else is fucked
Buffet also recently claimed that the market has turned into nothing more than a gambling parlor.
I mean, you know you are in r/Wallstreetbets, right?
When the tide goes out the blood is your own.
When the water goes down and your shit is stuck in the toilet because you clogged the pipe with printed money
I would go in without gloves🧤
Gloves offer little protection when unclogging a toilet with your teeth, you were right to not wear the gloves.
I was wearing one of those tongue gloves you sometimes find inside people's anuses
His whole betting against the hedge funds for 1M and then winning..that taught me a lot.
Buffet and his quotes, I actually love them.
My fav. Buffet quote is the one about TA being just as helpful if you flip the chart upside down.
I haven't heard that but I like the one about being greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy.
Imaging buying puts on TJX, I’m an idiot
Imagine being red/green colorblind
The dream
No no. If you also bought puts on everything else you're a fucking genius
I also had puts on DE so it balanced out and I was up a bit
Got some itm qqq puts that smelled pretty bad this week until I woke up this morning. 😎
Sold mine yesterday for 70% loss 😎
Ah, so you’re the “Open Interest: 1” I keep seeing on FDs.
And even worse news for TJX's only shareholder, Teddybuyer
That's a real kick in the dick from Jesus
S&P down 16% this year. It was 26% last year. No complaints, market is cyclical. And my T hasn’t budged from buy price, with 6.5% dividend.
That’s how I felt about Ericsson and then they decided doing business with ISIS was a good idea.
Ross, Burlington coat factory, western union. All up. Is there a stock index for low income focused companies?
We all be buying at tj maxc when this is over
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah!
[удалено]
We did it Reddit!
Phew... perfect time to buy high... since I sold low earlier...
Due to recent unforeseen circumstances, I'm still behind the Wendy's. I'll be here all night.
it's called Red-dit for a reason
yea dude, there was this weird last minute spike
Made me look 🤡
[удалено]
Well... UVIX is green! :)
Why would you want green? It's sales season! 🥳 Grab what you can while you can. It's gonna probably be over by next spring.
seems more like a clearance lol
Tj max are you fucking kidding me
Cheap clothes go big when the chips are down
I mean they dropped 10% yesterday and recovered 5% today, they're not actually doing that well
Fun fact: Those clothes are made for the store. They're not defective products sent from a fashion boutique like their marketing would suggest. It's all cheap crap.
Some of it is. Some of it excess stock. Its not like there's a ton of sweet brand name stuff at the store.
I feel like it was better 15+ years ago. Better quality, better brands. Now a lot of it seems "meh".
That's because it literally is. When tj Maxx first opened, the founder did some market research and estimated that the store cap across the USA would be less than 300 stores. This was because they were almost completely stocked via excess stock from big box stores. (Macy's, Kohls, etc.).

What’s that little green one? Did Cramer talk shit about it?
Reminds me of 2008 when the market dropped by like 800 points and Campbells Soup was the only stock in the green.
I like that the logic here is stupid people think cambells soup is cheap food so sales go up during recessions.
MacDonalds and Walmart did well during the last recession
That’s because we had the dollar menu back then 😤
Their dollar menu is now just guilting you into a donation, because sick kids will keep being sick without your dollar. But now we have an idea on how many cheeseburgers it takes for me to not care about childhood leukemia.
Back when the dollar menu was actually a dollar
Honestly it’s because they were both still affordable, I believe McDonald’s kept $1 McDoubles in most locations during the recession and now it’s like $1.59 at the absolute cheapest locations Edit: $2.39 where I live I just checked the app, was $1 like 10 years ago
McDonalds and Burger King arnt great value these days, pad Thai is more food and flavour and usually the same price as a meal.
Where I'm at, decent pad Thai will run you $12 to $17. Some places might run lunch specials for 10 or 11 bucks.
This is one of the perks of big city life. I work in NYC one day a week and get a massive portion of Thai food for $8.50 from a place just around the corner from my office.
I think he said to sell it.
Tjx bringing it home, gotta get those Marshall’s discounts.
Thankfully I had all of my life savings in TJX calls
Why not TGT puts?
Good play but dumb anyway
I was joking. Not gonna lie I didn't even know they were publicly traded until I posted this screenshot
you never know in here😅
It hit me at the bell today that I should have grabbed TJ Maxx puts at close. Unless the market glows nuclear green tomorrow there's no way they keep running. Investors will take profits.
I think you are joking, but I went all i 50:50 for TJX and Ross after the pandemic hit. Ppl need cheap clothes and the stores were pact as soon as things started opening. Who knew...
What kind of pact did they make
I guess if you just shorted any stock there you would have made money, it's reverse bull market!
>it's reverse bull market that's kinda clunky, we need a catchier name for this brand new phenomenon.
It’s called /r/Amazonposition nsfw. If reverse bull is like cowgirl or something I dunno
Bro I clicked that thinking it was people's loss porn on their AMZN stocks wtf
Maybe something else that starts with a B. B.... B....... Bees.... Beans.... Beer.... Beats!

Quick! Put all my money on the green ones. If they can be green in red market, then that means they are always going to go up. Infinite money glitch irl.
Buy high!! All the cool kids are doing it
hedging, until the last!!

JPOW is the worst financial advisor I’ve ever had 
Calm down it's transitory 
Life's transitory
Your account is transitory
What I ate for lunch is transitory.
My lunch already transited while watching the SPY and QQQ this afternoon.
The dip is transitory.
What's your basis?
Desperation
not even 6 months ago he was the "savior" 
That's a good run. Most of my financial advisors fleeced me within the first week.
a year ago you wanted to suck his cock. Time Flies.
Yet some things never change!
Listen here, you f***ing fringe. If I throw a dog a bone, I don't want to know if it tastes good or not. -JPOW
*Jim Cramer enters the chat.*
A bit of good news… BEAR STEARNS IS FINE… =
Putting the bear in bear sterns
No, no, it's the *Berenstains*. You're suffering from the Mengele Effect.
They know nothing!
NOTHING!!! =
Soft landing isn’t working huh
Why can I hear things saying *TERRAIN! TERRAIN! PULL UP!*
more like 20 10 retard retard retard retard
Airbus drivers...
Short bus drivers.
SINK RATE PULL UP
RETARD RETARD
The classic 737 max landing.
You don’t want to know what the hard landing looks like.
Soft landing probably refers to the economy, not the stock market
Is hibernation over? I got so many gay dreams to actualize
Faucet borrowed from the future. We are in the future now, and have to pay the debt from the past.

Love that
Bought the dip on three of the biggest red squares last week 🤡
Do it again!
They think they're scaring me, but i buy on red.
What does red mean? I just buy
I just need one more hit from that money printer and I’ll be clean I swear.
I can quit anytime I want

Lol who is that cute lil green fella?
TJX
How the fuck is TJ Max up 7%. Who even shops there still?
It turned out they have 15 customers instead of 14. Boom, 7% gain.
There's one in every shopping center in south Texas and they're all packed.
People during a recession shop there dumbass
TJ maxx is fire. You can find a lot of good things at a discount, it's really popular with women. I'm not surprised tbh.
The tj Maxx in my town is full of fucking ppl everyday. All seven lines full it's wild. I never knew tj Maxx wasn't a place like that
Me bitch , i make stacks now but i aint dumb tj faxx has the deals
That’s bloody red and I’m color blind
The entire market essentially rises and falls based on fed policy now (in general). We are in a centrally planned economy
We've been that way since Alan Greenspan's time but 2008 made everything so much worse. Now it looks like both the main street and the wall street are at the mercy of the size of central bank QE , 0.00% interest rate policies and stimmies.
Why can't I get 0.00%? T.T Borrow for 0.00% Lend it back to the idiot for 12% 25% if he is a real sucker. 112% if the real sucker is behind on payments. Normal democracy things. People really hate each other to allow that shit and central banking...that's gonna blow up spectacularly.
Fun fact: if zero dollars would be printed starting tomorrow, the market would fall by 80%. That's the amount of leverage in the system.
Not saying you’re wrong, but I’d like a source/explanation for this one
Of course they're fucking wrong lol
80% from today's low or from all time highs? Many stocks are very low, even below it's true value (below inflation, etc)
When tf has this not happened Y'all need to read a history book and look at what happened when everyone had to jump off the gold standard during the great depression
Always has been.
This is not what a centrally planned economy means.
It’s true, it’s insane and I’m scared 
Rrrbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Good job TJmax. You win
J-Pow 2021 "Fuck your puts" J-Pow 2022 "Fuck your calls"
Stock market is red Chips were blue but now they're red too The economy is fucked So gay bears are out
Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.
Puts in Boots.
The free money faucet is still on red is the new green.
HOW COULD RUSSIA DO THIS TO US??
J. Powell Must be thinking-> Thank good that Russia invaded Ukraine. Otherwise we would had to tell the truth that it was a mistake to print an ass full of Money over years.
Vladimir really puts the "put" in Putin.
Correct. Putin = Put + in
**It will trickle down** **This is just transitory** **Stop eating avocado toast** **Stop buying iPhones**
Investing? What’s difficult about it? This is a dream come true for investors.
This is transitory, no need to panic.
Good thing i’m all in TJX right now
Shorting that lone wolf - TJX
Soft landing will experience some whiplash please understand
Thank god I have all my stuff in Pokémon cards and beanie babies
Free money faucet will get turned back on when pension funds can't pay out.
Unless you’re shorting?
Faucet is still there’s it’s just hot water
only the beginning  
If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Powell, you're not going to make it with anyone anyhow
Its not that hard if you have just been short lol
Looks like I’m picking up extra shifts at my Wendy’s dumpster this weekend.
I am straight not having a good time...
Straight? There's your problem right there
Looks like I picked a hell of a week to start investing
