The market is suddenly feeling bearish as everyone is getting worried the Fed isn’t done raising rates. Some Fed members are talking like it’s over. Others are vaguely hinting that the rate-raising isn’t over. And in that waffling, bearishness lives. But not everything is falling off. Some stocks are making a charge toward new highs. T-Mobile is one of those stocks: [] When we look at the chart, we see that TMUS has actually held up nicely since the Bear Market of 2022. And a bounce of the 30-week simple moving average back in late October has led to bullishness for several weeks now. TMUS is almost at the breakout point of $154.38. A move above that level to new highs could lead to a big run. With or without the Fed members’ mysterious clues. — Scott Welsh P.S.

[] [] PROSPERITY PUB MARKET TALK “Would You Like A Bag With That?” Remember when McDonald's introduced the line "Would you like fries with that?" It wasn't just a catchy upsell; it was a financial game-changer. At one point, this simple question was estimated to have accounted for an astonishing 15-40% of McDonald’s annual profits . Fast forward to today, and there's a new query at the kiosk: "Would you like a bag with that?" While the fries suggestion brought in billions, this new question about bags might just be the next big thing, albeit a bit less appetizing. See, on a recent trip to McDonald’s, while placing an order at a kiosk (itself a sign of our automated times), a question popped up: "Would you like a bag with that?" It's takeout; of course, I need a bag. When I tapped “yes”, a line showing a 5¢ bag fee popped up on the order. What's next, charging for napkins? This nickel-and-diming had me reminiscing about [this 1993 news segment]( where folks bemoaned the then-new concept of paying for fast food with a credit card. Back then, the idea of swiping for a Whopper seemed as outlandish as storing a Filet-O-Fish in your pocket. Funny how time works. What once seemed ludicrous – credit cards for fast food – is now our second nature. It makes you wonder: will bag charges at fast-food joints become the new norm Just like we eventually embraced swiping plastic for our burgers, might we reach a point where forking over a few cents for a bag feels as routine as asking for extra ketchup? As I thought about the kiosk's question, I couldn't help but think about the shift in consumer behavior. There was a time when carrying cash was king, especially for quick bites. Now, not only are we cool with charging our fries — but we're also navigating a maze of upsells and unwelcome add-ons at every turn. So, as I begrudgingly accepted the 5¢ charge for a bag — because really, how else am I supposed to juggle my Big Mac and soda — I realized this might just be the beginning. Maybe, in a few years, we'll look back at the bag charge kerfuffle the way we chuckle at the credit card fuss of yesteryear. As I walked out, Big Mac safely in its paid-for bag, I pondered how quickly things change and how many more changes we’ll see in the coming years. — The Prosperity Pub Team [] [] [] ___________________________________________________ [] [] DEC 05, 2023 [] [] SCOTT WELSH’S TICKER TALES TMUS Getting Ready For A Big Run?
