exactly, i am going to drop some one month 1sd puts on WMT

Most SNAP benefits go to red states. Rural areas are very dependent on them, so I can see the logic of betting against Walmart stock. Very crass though to profit off the poor this way.

A judge may force the govt to spend the emergency funds. It was used in the last Trump term, but the current Trump admin is using it as a wedge issue.

There are predictions that the Fed shutdown could extend past the holidays. So lots of companies could be affected.

There is no way the govt will stop the bread and circuses -- no way that the welfare food handouts will stop. I wouldn't make an investment based on that.

Something like 70% of their revenues from snap and ebt. That’s why people are talking about shorting it. Still dumb though. It be better to wait for it to drop and then buy.

Reports said they were poised to lose $1B.

Shorting this is so crass.

I’ve had 3 people bring this up to me in the last week. Be careful of roaring kitty and his legion of minions.

You're going to be so rich, OP!

not only is EBT a significant portion of their grocery revenue, the lootings will hurt their margins. Any reasons not to buy puts on WMT?
