Natural gas in this market If the price of natural gas stabilizes or decreases, then FAANG stocks will stop falling and maybe bond yields will come down. This happened 4:30-10:30 am EST today.

It got downgraded today by Oppenheimer. He disagrees. A boring stock can be a good stock, like MS. MS is consistently boring. The current CEO has turned this around; MS used to be a rollercoaster, rooted in bad mortgages from the Great Recession and paying a big fine for that.
