Diamonds and Dogs

4/4/25

Not many places to hide the last two days. Today, Dollar Tree (DLTR) and Dollar General (DG) are modestly higher. With lower interest rates, housing related names are higher including DR Horton (DHI) and Lennar (LEN) up 5% and 3% respectively. Home Depot (HD) and Lowes (LOW) are modestly higher as well.

Good news, bad news for the price of oil. The price of oil is down 13% in the last two days causing all the major oil stocks to take a hit. Chevron (CVX) is down 5% today and down over 10% in the last two days. Exxon (XOM) and many of the major oil stocks are down a similar amount. The good news should be lower prices at the pump for consumers.
