Yeah, it's not exactly who you'd expect to top the list as Target.
But yeah, definitely jumping on the bandwagon here with allowing the OpenAI chatbot to help shoppers find holiday gifts.
So maybe these are some things that can eventually start to change some of the direction with the business, can start to change the economics of Target's businesses for the better.
And I believe that that is something that can happen, but it does need to keep pushing ahead.
I definitely am.
The one that you didn't mention was, it's paying out over a 5% dividend yield now, and it's paid a dividend for over 50 consecutive years.
Yes, Travis, I think that's probable.
I think we have probably already seen the top for 2025.
But let me preface that.
I'm talking about for the market.
I think that individual companies could still see new highs before the end of the year.
But then again, we're only talking about roughly 30 trading days left in this year.
And I trust my predictions for 30 days as much as I trust a coin flip.
I mean, really, anything can happen over the short term, right?
But I would say, perhaps we have already seen the high for 2025, just because of something that, Emily, you and I were talking on the show last week.
There's the fear and greed index out there, and it's been pegged on fear or extreme fear now for over a month.
Even though we've had a great year for stocks, and relatively speaking, stocks are close to all-time highs, it seems like investors are looking for reasons to be afraid.
It can become this self-fulfilling prophecy.
You start looking for everything to worry about, and there are some things out there to be concerned about.
Then it starts to really stoke those fears, and perhaps we have already seen the high for that reason.
