>>22570643
even if this were true, looks like /biz/ doesn’t care

too poor to play it

Meanwhile fed buying US land worth trillions. FED buying LAND. What a time to be alive.

what is your source?

>>22570643
are you selling the 9/18 $34 calls lol?

I wish I could buy calls, but I could never get away with that.

So amazon is just going to take over the fucking world huh

>>22570876
I’m not an idiot.

>>22570643
Doubtful

Even at $47.50, it’s only about 16 times forward earnings. Amazon is getting a fucking bargain and a half.

>>22570957
op I’m going to take your word for it. plz don’t be lying fren.

That would be fucking hilarious but Bezos is a lunatic that he may do ti

you fuckers are going to make me log into my brokerage and load up the option chain

>>22571065
yeah I'm actually there now kek

I’ve been invested in KR for about a year ~6 months.

Can you give me some hope? My god I put 20k on this instead of WKHS which was like 4 dollars at the time. Figured a grocery store was a good bet, man do I have regrets.

I think word has leaked, not counting this thread. The stock is up significantly today on no news.

>>22571086
buy to open 100 call strike $33?
this is how i lose money

short safeway, without heavy investment they are now a small fish compared to their competition. how long until an online only grocery chain?

>>22571326
went with Oct 2 2020 35.00 Call cost me 12 bucks per contract, not too bad.

Timing on this would seem very weird, with the pandemic Kroger is probably at the best position its ever been, why would Amazon buy them now?As opposed to waiting it out, and buying at a lower price.

I work for kroger and I don’t see any news about this on my work portal

>>22571207
>made assumptions
See where you went wrong?

Only way this makes sense is if Amazon is really threatened by Walmart/Walmart + and they want to compete with the lower income market.

>>22571446
You think decisions are made only on the basis of perceived current value of the target company? Lol.

>>22570929
Why not?

>>22571446
Amazon has been doing DD for over a year on this deal. They consider Kroger to have the best grocery operation in the world and they’ve been stunned that the stock hasn’t responded to Kroger’s vastly improving business position. They consider it possibly the most undervalued company in the world right now. This deal might have taken another year but Amazon has decided to lock it down before the stock corrects up and they might have to pay $60 per share.

>>22570643
>CIA shell company owns 60% of internet commerce and will also now own the grocery supply chains

It's only a matter of time before they buy the entire state of Wyoming and convert it into a giant bugman ranch to farm bugs and soi and then we're all fucked. Also Jeff Bezos is clearly a supervillain and he doesn't even hide it.

>>22570643
Snd I was just looking at KR.

>>22571443
i work for a broker dealer so I have to get approval
i wonder if I can sneak this past the ceo without attracting interest (of a bad kind)

>>22571573

That makes a lot of sense. Kroger's problem like walmart is the fact that their customer service sucks, the stores are pretty gross, and I would rather pay more than to shop with their target clientele. I wonder if Amazon would actually try to fix this or just keep it the same and expand their prime grocery foothold. Probably just the later.

YOLO in with 33 oct 2 calls

>>22571572
Let’s just say that there’s a reason I know what I know. And any positions I take with regard to KR are monitored by the SEC.

>>22571597
Yeah but you might as well make money off of it

>>22571697
Really? The krogers I go to routinely are pretty nice. I guess I do live in a decent area, though....hmm

>>22571697
This is retard tier. Go back to plebbit with the rest of you 90 IQ zoomer gamblers that equate trivial bullshit to billions of dollars of worth. You probably seriously believe it’s impossible to beat the market because you invest based on emotion and retard tier analysis lmao

>>22571768
the only reason I clicked on this thread is because I use Kroger too. Clicklist is good, a wagie does my shopping for me and puts in my truck for free.

Krogers are pretty nice near me as well.

>>22571768

I live in a big city so there is a Kroger every few miles or so, they are pretty hit or miss imo. I drive an extra few miles to go to the better Kroger when I'm looking for something whole foods doesn't have.

Well, I threw the last of my free cash in my fuck around account on those calls, hope OP isn't a fag.

>>22571453
Unless you're a top exec, you wouldn't.

>>22571697
he is going to make ameriga great again :DD by forcing all the ghetto dwellers to HAVE TO HAVE DELIVERY and maybe they'll get their act together finally and pull themselves up by the bootstraps FINALLY. forced nutrition and street sweepers, not HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND POOPIES IN THE PARKING LOT

>>22571981
Right, a random neet has more credibility than a person actually working at Kroger.

Shut the fuck up.

>>22572079
They wouldn’t tell employees beforehand lmao. They literally can’t. It’s law. To prevent insider trading

>>22572079
I'm not OP retard and I think OP is full of shit. But, they sure as fuck wouldn't tell all their employees before releasing it publicly. That'd be a disaster. Fucking dumbass faggot.

>>22572168
even if he were full of shit, what's the worst that could happen?
he said the news breaks at close tonight
if it doesn't, I sell tomorrow and lose some pocket change

bid price went up during approval process
fugg do I pay 14¢?

>>22572220
buy to open 100 contracts KR Sep 25 2020 34.0 Call 14¢

>>22572200
Most people ITT are buying calls. They won’t lose pocket change

>>22572287
yeah mine went up too after I bought. Volume is picking up on kroger calls at various strikes.

>>22572342
you can sell those calls tomorrow it's not a huge deal

Ive bought both market and calls
Thanks OP

>>22570866
Is there any aspect of our economy that isn’t fraudulent ?

Buying puts. Fuck it.

screencap in case today is the day OP wasn't a faggit

I'm buying. I've acted on rumors here myself. It seems sensible that Amazon would buy Kroger and it would be the final nail in the coffin with Walmart. They have the first mover advantage here too of they take on retail. It also makes sense given the new 100+ distribution centers. Also muh climate fund bullshit seems like a smoke and mirror trick. Talk about this nonsense, get a tax write off and while everyone is distracted, violá the biggest grocery deal in history is wrapped and in the bag.

>>22572718
Nice call on the distribution centers. They've added 3 maybe 4 in my county in the past year. Didn't understand it but this would make sense.

>>22570643
Dude the /biz board is only for talking about imaginary crypto shit coins!

How dare you talk about stocks on here. You didn't use key words like crabbing, price target, or logarithm.

>>22572773
Also 1000 "delivery hubs"

https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/amazon-coming-to-a-suburb-near-you

while we're discussing Amazon rumors I notice my CBL calls are up 100% today, and I bought them on the chance Amazon was turning malls into distribution centers. Just a heads up.

That would be a huge acquisition for a company that despite record sales for grocers hasn't posted huge earnings to match.

>>22570946

Literally got a real life Lex Luthor and no one is going to say anything

prices have gone up from 14¢ I got half an hour ago.

I want to make it

>>22570643
OP is the deal supposed to be cash, stock or a combo?
>>22573046
Look at other grocers, it's a sector wide rotation.

>>22572833
Cope, the post.

Chad Alberstons is where its at

so let's pretend that this is true...
do I sell the options or execute
which is worth more?

>>22573236
What's up brother

>>22573236
The quality of a Kroger is in direct reflection to the area that it's in. There are quite a few very upscale Krogers and various other names under Kroger, but there are just as many as you described.
Your local Kroger is like the canary in the cage, and you're ignoring that it's dead. Its saying you should move.

>>22573093
About 3/4 stock, 1/4 cash

Posting in a potentially neat thread if OP isnt fake and gay.

>>22570957
You may be right about Kroger, but I call bullshit on this specific statement.

>>22573600
Checked

>>22573379
bullshit
I've been to so many, in different parts of the country
all equally as shitty
Fuck Kroger and their dirty ass stores
>>22573347
Kroger or Albertsons?

>>22573379
Pretty much this. I live in Metro Detroit and there's a lot of wealthy and poor communities relatively close to each other.
Kroger is always an accurate reflection of the community. You can drive 20 minutes to another Kroger and get a vastly different experience.

>>22573792
Sounds like you've just been to many shitty parts of the country

>>22573792
Columbus

I'm in with a small position. Stock already moved 2,5 percent. Maybe there's something in the bush.

Just a bump for your thread OP.

lmao fuck Columbus and this is coming from someone who lived there twice

>>22570643
47,50 per share would be quite high don't you think? Its well below thirty dollars

>>22573981
Sorry, 32, i have a european version of the stock here

My wife works at Kroger’s. They are suppose to be in take of heath care for workers right now, I even heard a Kroger advertisement on radio taking about the healthcare Deal in works. I can’t imagine a buyout with worker’s heath insurance is included. Especially how amazon wharehouse is Walmart tier job.

>>22574070
thats part of the value of the deal
fire all the employees, and replace with gig economy workers

Checked with my buddy who works at Kroger and he hasn’t heard anything but mentioned there is a mandatory staff meeting later today at 5:00 at all local stores. Could be related?

>>22574198
Yes. 5:00 Eastern. The store managers don’t even know what it’s about though. They’re just being given instructions to tune into a live webcast.

Jeff trying monopolize the food supply now?

OP, any more on this? I may legit buy a chunk of Kroger stock rn

>>22574198
Why do you idiots LARP like this, what is the point.
The first communication that anything was going on would be some sort of e-mail, at which point the whole thing is public. No one at your friend's store/office would know wtf is going on at this point.

>>22571446
They are buying all the other medium and large companies. They already own the big ones anyway but now it becomes official.

>>22573961
Im just outside columbus but agree w your sentiments. I prefer it an hour south in the Hills

>>22574031
KR is rated for $40, meaning it is still undervalued, despite competition

>>22573961

>every big city anywhere ever

>>22572622
3 card monte games on the corner.

Kroger fired a lot of their management earlier this year. Might be something to this

I don't think it's unlikely. Kroger was already in talks with alibaba 2019. They would definitely be an interesting position for amz.

What the hell, I've bought 20 shares. I hope you're telling the truth, man. I can always use an extra $300.

>>22574766
you need that margin/option account
you don't need tatted up thots in your bed

>>22574489
Well I guess you just have to wait 3 more hours to find out. No sweat off my back

Fuck it. Op you trolled me.

OP is lazy replying. Seems like he doesn't give a fuck really. Let's hope he's a good man to us neets.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOLD ME KROGERBROS WE’RE GOING DOOOOWWWWWWN

Yeah this is definitely the most larp post I've seen on this board. If this was anywhere near true, word would have gotten out and KR would be up by like 10%

I am retard. What should I buy?

>>22570643
OP If you're real great, if not you're going to cost me $2k. I'm in a bad place rn so fuck it YOLO.

>>22574891
OP is treating me good, im big up on calls
>>22574995
Word is getting out, regardless of veracity
>>22575027
Depends on how retarded

So what's the actual value of this?
Is it more or less than the difference between the purported price that amazon is going to pay and the existing kroger share price?

HERE WE GO OP

>>22570643
pls be real.

>>22574995
It already went up 2,5 percent outperforming the market completely without any official news. To me this seems to have some substance.

KR looks like it is about to go cliff diving, not the other way around

>>22575027
Buy puts.

>>22574666

Do you have any data on that? It's not like I don't like whitepills

>>22570643
Goddamn it. I was going to Kroger because the alternative grocery store is owned by cerberus financial who owns Dyncorp. Now I get to chose between giving money to a child-trafficking military contractor, or that faggot bezos.

>>22575337
my data is I talk to them every day

>>22575493

Here's what's going to happen: your influx of white individualists are going to create an economic boom. That economic boom is going to make headlines in scum cities. Scummy leftists are going to then flood in and turn the politics blue and then after that you're going to get high taxes, regs, homeless people and insane virtue signalling leftists who worship crime.

>>22576056
If you want to take the risk & put the skin in the game. There's not a ton of liquidity there right now & the theta is awful for anything close. You'd never get your broker fees back. But yea, could gamble hard and accept losing like $20,000 in exchange for maybe being set for life. It's not a bad risk:reward ratio by any means.

>>22575841
>great and clean
Dude, just look outside. When you drive, when you're walking around, etc.
Do you notice all the trash?
Probably not because you've never lived anywhere else without it.
ITS EVERYWHERE
Just fucking litter, EVERYWHERE

nah I doubt it. They're not going to put up with that shit here

>>22575841
>columbus is great and clean
Columbus is a nigger city out of Africa, and the only reason Columbus fags defend it is because “at least we aren’t Cleveland!”

>>22576315
bingo
I've literally seen guns pulled twice by youfs in Columbus
Its dirty, full of violent crime, full of petty crime,
homeless, with literally NOTHING to do but go out to eat and bars
What else do people do in Columbus? There's 0 outdoor recreation unless you want to ride the scioto mile and check out the homeless camps
Make sure your tire doesn't hit a used needle though!

>>22570643
Ok, i'm out. This is bullshit. Price tag amazon is allegedly paying is ridiculous high if you look at the stock price. Plus there's a shill on stocktwits:
https://stocktwits.com/symbol/KR
Look it up yourselves, there's an idiot asking 7 times "anyone heard the rumor of the amazon buyout" without giving further info when asked.

>>22576123

LARP?

OP is always a fag.

>>22576449

Did you look it up? This is a coordinated shill, you can see it easily in the thread i posted. Don't bait poorfags into that shit.

>>22576441
Stocktwits and reddit have only lost me money. 4chan was right about when to buy and sell GNUS and KTOV and workhorse. listening solely to 4chan, I could have had over 100k these past few months.

>>22576571
Then you should leave it. Follow the link i posted on stocktwits. Clear shilling.

>>22576618

When it's low effort and shady I'm more inclined to believe it desu, like people who don't want to out themselves but want to have "called it". Then again there's an 80% chance this is bullshit lol.

I don't care if its bullshit and I lose a couple hundred dollars
It was worth it for the glimmer of hope... that I might make it.

>>22576726

I don't see the huge deal? The food isn't "sitting out there". Its in its own box and the chemicals are in their own bottle/box/whatever. They're both inert and I don't see how one could get into the other.

I’m very impressed; all products are neatly bagged and stored safely.

>>22576854
>>22576739
>>22576775

It's actually pretty genius. They can buy out an overpriced store that already has the brand recognition to drive high profit margins, and then squeeze even better profits with their autistic and unethical logistics system.

so this is confirmed bs right?

>>22576937
Nope. I hope so but it is not confirmed.

>>22576937
placed three days worth of pay on 0dte calls, it better not be bullshit.

its not a bad buy either way

>>22577383
Oh wow you're retarded

>>22577256
I am skeptical, but why shill a $25 bln market cap company on an anonymous Vietnamese crossbow hunting forum? It's not like our collective orders can pump this thing by even a cent, it's like coming here to advertise ETH with the hope of offloading your own bags.

I posted 3 times, not seven and the last wasnt shilling but a genuine question
You are a fucking short position certainly

>>22577484
It's money I don't even blink if I lose it, ago yeah, I'm a retard in that sense.

I unironically just sold everything and put it all in Kroger. Hopefully OP is right, if not, then hopefully KR is still a solid stock, r.. right?

>>22577496

That's what I'm saying. Hardly in the thread trying to make a case either. Usually these pump and dumpers are going all out trying to spam this shit everywhere and wrap it up in some fancy narrative why. This is probably bullshit but it fees less bullshit than usual and makes sense from a practical standpoint, this is a good company and Amazon has money to spend.

>>22577496
Because it's funny

>>22577577
it is, yeah. I went with calls so I'm screwed if this doesn't pan out but you'll be fine.

>>22577577

Yeah it's still a good stock. Only reason I'm taking this chance.

>>22577496
This is a good point. No penny stock here.

Checked

>>22577577
>>22577627
>>22577637

Good luck. I bought shares outright on margin. I’m never going to mess about with options but this feels comfy.

>>22570643
Even if there were true there would be attempts to block it with antitrust

>>22577496
maybe OP works for Kroger, something like IT, and can't act on the knowledge, but harbors resentment against the company for not being able to get wealthy on this knowledge, making him a wage slave for life
that would be motivation to poast valuable info on "an anonymous Vietnamese crossbow hunting forum"
for the lulz that he made his 4chin bretheren rich at the company expense

>>22577691
That’s why we all plan to sell the news tomorrow

Yeah but we'd be selling the news way before that action began

step 1: set orders to sell calls at .01 for everything north of $40
step 2: tell a bunch of desperate degenerates KR is going to $47
step 3: collect $100 for every gambling addict

I tossed in a hundred ngl. Fun to be part of the story

But if it does

Can't believe you guys are falling for this shit. Going to lose your free uniswap airdrop money..

Who shills a fucking boomer grocery stock that is virtually unknown outside of the midwest/east coast

>>22577887
Because it doesn't work that way. Go watch Wall Street.

>>22577921
Why bait? You don't know much about takeovers. The premium OP mentions here would be outright retarded.

>>22577896
I use Schwab, commission was 26 bucks for 50 contracts.

>>22577945
Kroger also owns Ralph’s.

>>22577896
If you want to trade options go with interactive brokers or tastyworks

>>22572941
I guess Rockefellers don't exist to you

This thread is pathetic. Worse than pajeets scamming with shitcoins. The photos posted are obviously returned items in a walmart backroom.

>>22577945
>virtually unknown outside of the midwest/east coast
they own Ralphs which is huge on the west coast

>>22578027
Why would Walmart returns be neatly and individually bagged?

>>22577972
>The premium OP mentions here would be outright retarded.
It really wouldn't. Do you really think all the institutional investors and CEO's, founders, etc. area really just looking to take a quick 10% profit? They need a high premium because their sense of worth is getting bought out too

>>22578080
I've never seen a Walmart return look so neat

>>22578080
Reaks of paid shill

Jesus christ what brokerage do you guys use to for options? These commissions are ridiculous

>>22578153
Does /biz/ seriously believe that pajeets are shilling grocery store stock over a meme coin of the week now?

>>22578171
I just use Robinhood for the lulz and Fidelity for Penny. RH is easiest for options for me

>>22578171
TDA, same commission pricing on options. It's .65, who cares.

>>22578177
I didnt say pajeets were doing this. It compares to pajeets. This thread is one or a few people who know KR is about crash hard soon. They are trying to write as many calls as possible and have them expire worthless on anons stealing their money.

>>22577945
They're known as Fry's Food Stores here in Arizona...

>>22578246
Why would they not just open put option and be rich? Why waste time here?

>>22578171
I use fidelity because I'd rather pay .65/contract for a platform that doesn't fucking crash on high volume days like RH does.

>>22578271

He needed to arbitrarily cobble together some kind of narrative that justifies a pajeet shill coming to some tiny anonymous forum to pump a molasses boomer grocery store stock

>>22578246
Why would it crash? Financials look solid, analyst reports from last week show it is trading in line with its value

>>22577945
Uninformed.

>>22578171
>what brokerage do you guys use to for options?
TD Ameritrade
$59.80 on 100 contracts

RIP Scottrade

>>22578246
>know stock is about to tank
>instead of insider trading I just sell calls to people on /biz/

Yeah I mean this thread is probably a larp but if I had insider info I would just buy puts lmao

>>22578246
This is a retarded statement. There are a million better ways to make money, and having a handful of morons buy 1 cent YOLO options isn't making anyone any profit. The people selling these have already lost their money.

>>22578246

well, I took the risk and bought 2 KR. I hope on a 30% increase.

>>22578246
>They are trying to write as many calls as possible and have them expire worthless on anons stealing their money.
???/ lmao this makes no sense. If you know a stock is going to crash you'd short it or buy PUTS (which are ridiculously cheap btw), not write calls. Writing calls is for people who have faith in a stock but still want less risk and a more reliable income, and to my knowledge you can't write naked puts, it would require owning and thus not selling a ridiculous amount of kroger stock already.

>>22578305

I was aware they had subsidiary brands, the stock ticker "Kroger" is boring and relatively unknown which is why it has a low P/E and market cap despite their relative financial success

>>22578332
We are all gonna make it buddy

Fuck it, i bought 10 shares overnight. What should happen. I have a strange feeling here.

>>22578246
Lol, making money on a dropping stock by writing calls

bought some puts , thanks OP for the larp. should make a few bucks

>>22578472
F.

FUCK!!! I've never been this close to...

M A K I N G . ! T

>>22578626
You're not close at all

This is a meme. No way kroger gets bought out when amazon already owns whole foods. This buyout would get blocked

>>22578662
So sell tomorrow at a loss of a few hundred then

It looks like AH trading has been halted on KR..............

>>22578715
In an hour you'll be trying to decide between selling your options for a massive gain, or exercising the options

lol fucking retards. Now all of sudden it changes to yea this wasn't going to happen just sell for a loss. Thanks for all of the free money on the calls I sold you.

>>22578794
No

>>22578817

>losing $300 for the opportunity to make $10k

I mean I'll do it. And be right every once in a while.

>>22578794
Checks out. No trades in 6 minutes.

>>22578794
Confirmed. Just tried to place a buy order and was blocked

>>22578908
uh i think thats 6 seconds

LOL

>>22578908
>>22578939

Oh God... lads

>>22578908
No you retard, it would be listed on the halt page if it was halted. It isn't.

>>22578939
It's getting interesting

>>22578908
>>22578939
What does this mean?

>>22578964
It’s 24H time

KR isn't halted, it's not on the trade halt page.

>>22578969
Oh shit it's going to 3$

Not halted

>>22578977
Where is this halt page you speak of? AH trading is handled differently.

>>22578969

KROGER BROS WE GOT TOO COCKY

>>22578969
>up .48
>down .48
welp why would they just rolled back the kroger blockchain a day without a warning?

>>22578493
down -1.48% AH, thanks for the free bucks guys

>>22579039
You're retarded.

Damn, bested again

>>22579070
thats just market makers settling after hours

I trusted you

>>22579074

AND WALLA

>>22578794
This. It's not letting me buy anymore.

>>22579074
Even if it would fall you are too stupid to profit from this. So don't larp as intelligent person

BACK

>>22579146
wait until 5 EDT

>>22579198
What makes you think anything is going to happen at 5 ET? What the fuck do they care when they announce, market is closed. This shit isn't happening. I lost $2k minimally but idgaf, gotta YOLO every now and then.

>>22578794
Bought a share on Robinhood

>>22579300

I think this shit has been legit halted bro. No movement on anything.

Almost everything you've said in this thread is retarded

>>22579630
nope

So it was all fake and gay? What happens to the $17 I spent on calls? How do I get refund??

>>22577221
priorities man lol

>>22579674
They did just declare quarterly dividend at 4:30, so yeah it was all a larp. Who would have ever guessed.

>>22579701
Use robinhood where trading options is free.

>>22579747

Fuck yeah we're mooning 1% tomorrow

>this thread

>>22579747
Holy shit I'm gonna be rich, KR going to skyrocket up 0.45% tomorrow!

The only real news here is OP is a faggot.

>>22579747
I should have done like 5 minutes of research since there are plenty of news articles of recency which point to the "this would never fucking happen" side of things, but I was busy with work. Fuck it, only yolo'd because you almost never see posts like this on /biz/ and I'd knife myself if it were true and I missed out. I lost a decent chunk of cash and OP is a massive, massive piece of shit... but that's about all there is to see here.

big nothing burger

>>22579832
Same but I'm not out that much and it was nice to feel something besides crippling depression for like two hours.

>>22579747
ah. Makes sense. Also explains the trading halt that so many were denying.
Actually this makes KR a solid hold. Maybe an okay long term Call too.

can I stop edging yet?

>>22579869
https://www.nyse.com/trade-halt-current
Wasn't halted either

>>22579869
I'm holding. Kroger gang for life.

>>22579869
>>22579813

Maybe OP was playing a game of in-company telephone and somehow "directors are announcing a divided increase today" turned into "ZOMG AMAZON BUYING US OUT"

>>22579747
>>22579869
Dividend increased by almost 30%

This is a solid hold until more news develops

>>22580008
Maybe OP is just a cunt. Guess we'll never know.

>>22580012
eh maybe I can unload calls at break even or even a slight profit tomorrow.

>>22579981
Yes, nothing is happening.

>>22579996
This fuckin guy.

>>22580040
Dividend announcements very very rarely affect price action. It's still just a .5% dividend, not enough to make people abandon other stocks in favor of KR.

>>22580012
Might be good for a 30% increase in stock price. Or at least 15%. Our calls may print yet boys!

I'm still going to make more money on this so thanks Kroger bro. The high Q2 earnings with this dividend is going to make this go up 5% at least tomorrow. That's $140 for me which is fine in my books. I'm going to sell and invest in UVV (big divvies).

>>22580090
2.2% annually.

Grocery stores are not growth stocks so don't expect any big increases. The only one I'd consider for growth is GO.

its a decent stock to hold regardless

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I AM ABSOLUTELY UNIRONICALLY LITERALLY FINANCIALLY RUINED

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>22580130
The stock is still trading AH and it is up 1 entire penny. You guys who think this will move the stock are delusional.

>>22580148
Yes which is still meh. It's fine.

>>22580130
>>22580172
Sorry now it's down 8 cents actually

Didn't Buffet go hard on Kroger in his last quarterly report? Isn't this blatant insider trading?

>>22580200
>>22580172

Gtfo Publixfag

>>22579813
That's nothing new though...

>>22580090
Stonks usually go down on ex-dividend

>>22580424

>>22580424
Do you even know the words you're typing? This is a dividend announcement, not a dividend pay date. Yes, stocks usually go up before ex-dividend and down directly after bc of dividend chasers. But the ex-dividend is in December. I swear this board has too many retards.

The least OP could do is let us know everything is going to be alright

>>22580653

I know, I need a hug

>>22570643
Fuck you nigger

Is there any way the company would announce an increased dividend at 4:30 and still announce a buyout at 9pm?

>>22580853
No that's a retarded thing to even ask. Also look at the news. Earlier this year the CEO went on record about the shit they're doing and have been doing to stay ahead of Amazon. Kroger got bought out just two years ago by EG Group and has proven to be a GOOD investment. I doubt they'd sell to Amazon right now.

eh, up .17 aftermarket I might actually make a few bucks off this after all.

Is there any way to do a chargeback on a margin purchase?
