Inverse Kramer Puts on $BSX, $SOFI and $OXY and calls on $MDT and $DOW

Got it, the max. amount of $5000 at the end of business day for savings sounds little weird. I am not sure why there is this max. limit for exact amount to earn 5% interest, does this mean if I have $5001 and I loose 5% interest on all $5000 or just on $1? And full amount just get 2% interest?

"6The balance in your Savings Account must not exceed $5,000 at the close of business each business day during the calendar month. Close of business is 6:00 pm MST/5:00 pm MDT, except on the last business day of the month, when it is 4:25 pm MST/3:25 pm MDT. "

I manage golden images for ~1500 workstations both Mac and Windows. Mostly classrooms and conference rooms for a university. Also help manage our datacenter with ~40 ESXI hosts and around 1000 VMs. Many systems too like Jamf, SCCM, MDT, Vsphere, iGel, the list goes on.

I also run the bench, essentially my own computer lab where we deploy new and fix broken everything. That can't be outsourced, really nothing I do can be effectively.

I'd just avoid them. I got screwed by MDT so I won't buy another one.

Anyone else own MDT?

A lot of y’all should just buy QQQ.

$MDT. Big news, good play for Monday? Opinions are welcome 😎

Don't sleep on MDT, short interest is rising and good fundamentals.

Thanks for the info! I’m not happy with one of my healthcare positions (MDT) and I might trade it out for ISRG.

There's a lot. Nvda, wsm, woof, adsk, dks, aap, cal, intu, sjm, jd, Jwn, m, mdt, pycr, tol, urbn

What’s the DD on MDT?

haha I called at like 930a MDT, pressed 1 for english, 2 for something (idk), then 3, and it pushed me to the operator. First operator pushed me to the main line which hangs up on you, 2nd operator i told that i got pushed to a line where I was hu g up on and nicely asked if they could transfer me elsewhere. I think they said they transferred me to payment accounts? or account processing? cant remember. That got me in the que and then I was on hold for about an hour. the convo itself was less than 10 min to resolution & hang up

MDT, SUI, ARE,SWK,and SU would be my top picks . SUI increased FFO by 22% from 2020 levels yet the share price is at the same level it was 2 years ago. The MFH tenants are extremely sticky and I expect revenues to increase in line with CPI

ARE: demand for medical offices/ research center is only increasing drastically after covid outbreak . There is a major supply and demand imbalance in the sector

Since you said "or so" I'll answer with a 10-year timeline: MA, V, AXP, WM, AMD, NVDA, ASML, EL, HD, COST, JPM, CB, MDT, ADYEY, CRWD, DDOG, ORCL, NOW, ABBV, MRK, LLY, GOOGL, MSFT, AAPL, PG, KO, PFE, MRK, MELI

MDT and ABT as solid as solid can be, and extremely good value right now.

Less boring but good value/growth. GLW, TXN, HON, ROK

I didn't say irresistible, I said "cheap." irresistible is a whole other level.

Personally I live JPM, JNJ, HD, TGT, MDT, FE, ETR, SNA, CMI, TD, MSFT, AXP, WHR, BBY, STAG, ORI, MMM

BBY and WHR are the only "irresistible" ones. They've dived hard and everyone acts like they're horrible stocks but doesn't have facts to back it up, at least not facts that are different from stocks that are overpriced that they are fine with. I expect sentiment to change on them at some point.

Personally I like WHR, TD, BNS, CM, JPM, BA, GS, HD, JNJ, PG, SNA, CMI, SWK, TGT, MDT, BLK, BX, STAG, DLR, EVRG, AEP, FE, HON, JCI., MSFT...

I mean, I am not the most creative person, you probably thought about alot of these already:-).

I like both growth and dividend growth.

I have regular paycheck contributions maxing out employer sponsored retirement accounts like 401k, 403b, 457 & DCP. I don't bother to look at them. Will add to 529s some point this month. These are split 60% US, 20% Developed markets, 20% EM.

For taxable brokerages, I've started large positions in ASO (Academy Sports & Outdoors) & BBY (Best Buy) and will be a buyer if they dip below my cost price. Currently have 50% of my long term position which constitutes aorund 1% each in my taxable portfolio. One page thesis [here] (https://old.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/vd3439/what_recently_beatendown_stock_are_you_holding/icjiozy/)

I added small amounts to existing positions in Medtronics (MDT), Goldman Sachs (GS) & Morgan Stanley (MS) as they took a beating yesterday.

I have 5% cash and letting income from paychecks and dividends pile up.

Everything that’s getting thumped at the moment. 😉

Seriously, I focus mainly on “growth at a reasonable price,” but I also prefer a dividend, even if it’s a small but growing one. A dividend also tends to weed out junk companies. But I don’t chase yield. I try to stick to quality, but, because I’m cheap, I’ll I avoid fads and sexy stocks while favoring investment in boring companies or companies that are out of favor. A good example: INTC. I find more value in other old tech companies, like CSCO, QCOM, ORCL, and TXN. Drug and healthcare stocks also: ABBV, AMGN, BMY, JNJ, PFE, MDT. Retail, which people really hate at the moment: BBY, CVS, DKS, HD, LOW, TGT, WMT. More tech: AAPL, KLAC, TER, TMO.

I also own various odds and ends: CMCSA, EMR, MAS, RHI, KO, UNP, VZ, V, WHR, etc.

I recently put my hand in the toilet to buy some of the most hated but I think oversold companies in the market: META, NFLX, and PYPL. That’s forty percent of FAANG being tossed into the trash. Heroes to zeros in a matter of months.

Basically, I only buy individual stocks for the large-cap, domestic portion of the overall portfolio. Everything else is in low-cost ETFs. Now I’m going to check my accounts and see how much blood I have on my nose today—and then step outside and look at the sky. 😆

BusinessweekEconomics Janet Yellen Is Struggling at the Treasury Job She Never Wanted The ex-Fed chair has been sidelined by the White House on some key issues.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.Photographer: Tom Williams/AP BySaleha Mohsin+Follow June 15, 2022, 2:00 AM MDT

It was supposed to have been a capstone. Instead, Janet Yellen’s stint as Treasury secretary threatens to become a stain on a storied career. The former Federal Reserve chair was recruited to help steer the US economy out of the pandemic by lending her gravitas and credibility to the Biden administration’s pursuit of a robust and lasting recovery. It took some arm-twisting to persuade her to take the job.

Eighteen months later, Joe Biden’s presidency is in trouble, with inflation soaring to a 40-year high and Democrats on course for a wipeout in the midterm elections. The 75-year-old Yellen finds herself trapped in the inevitable blame game, fighting to keep her professional reputation intact. On May 31, Yellen took matters into her own hands and did something that caught the White House by surprise. She admitted to the American public on CNN that she “was wrong” about the path inflation would take. The administration had thus far been relentlessly trying to paint the surge in consumer prices as temporary. With her statement, Yellen broke ranks with Biden’s inner circle—which doesn’t include her—and exposed the dysfunction at the heart of an administration that’s botched its communications around the country’s economic problems. Americans haven’t felt this dismal about the nation’s—and their own—prospects since the recession of 1980, according to the latest reading of the University of Michigan’s gauge of consumer sentiment, while polls show the majority of voters disapprove of Biden’s handling of inflation.

Some of Yellen’s travails come with the territory. US Treasury secretaries are supposed to take a leading role in formulating economic policy but at times wield less influence over important matters than the president’s own cadre of advisers. The job demands sharp elbows and assertive salesmanship, helpful in dealing with Congress. These are qualities frequently associated with Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson, and Steven Mnuchin, all of whom worked at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. before being tapped for the top job at Treasury, and not with a soft-spoken technocrat like Yellen, who’s accustomed to the more predictable and measured world of central banking. Yellen’s most tangible accomplishment so far is the progress she has forged on an international tax agreement designed to halt a global race to the bottom on corporate tax rates, a goal that has eluded negotiators for nearly a decade. The framework has the support of almost 140 nations but US voters, preoccupied as they are with kitchen-table issues, have not taken much notice. This account of Yellen’s struggle to find her footing is based on interviews with almost two dozen current and former senior officials in the US and elsewhere, most of whom requested anonymity to speak candidly. Yellen declined to comment for this story.

MDT is a great dca candidate imo

Her Medtronic $MDT investment hasn't gone so well for me since it is down almost 24%.

It's insider trading bro, just be patient. The govt will give MDT a billion dollar contract anytime soon now.

I'm still angry after I bought Medtronic $MDT since she bought it, and it has gone down almost 24%.

Funny you ask. I never get tips from her (she's a surgical resident) but I pepper her about medtech companies I come across all the time. Most of the time, she has some thoughts and then tells me "Text (blank) who you met at that residents BBQ. They are in that field and love to talk about it." And then I'm off and running lol. I've chatted with at least a dozen different people about different medtech companies. Her friends and colleagues are why I'm invested in GMED, INSP, MEDP, SWAV, DMTK, OM, SILK, and TMDX. They're also the reason I passed on some (can't remember any other than LUNG).

As for MDT, they're too big for me. I considered buying shares with the cash I would've gotten from their acquisition of Mazor Robotics in 2018 but instead distributed the funds amongst CRISPR positions. When it comes to medtech, I want the companies with potentially revolutionary tech that may fail spectacularly but may become the next Intuitive Surgical (who I also own, gotta be coming up on 5 years now).

Only speaking for the healthcare stocks, CSTL and NGM are simply awful. ABT and JNJ are OK, but I was surprised names LLY, MRK, TMO, MDT, ISRG, SYK, etc. were not there instead. If you want speculative small caps for high potential growth, there are way better options.

MDT, NVDA, AMD, ABNB, CRWD, TTD

I certainly am with BA, MMM, MDT, SQ, and RAD.

Healthcare/med tech....UNH, CVS, ABT, MDT, LH, BSX, BDX.

Skittish Stock Traders Are Bracing for $2 Trillion Option Expiration BofA survey shows optimism about global growth at record low It’s not an easy time, particularly for stocks: Katy Kaminski ByVildana Hajric+Follow April 13, 2022, 2:16 PM MDT Inflation is surging, central banks are on the move and now it’s earnings season. To top it all off, stock traders face the market-roiling potential of a monthly options expiration estimated at more than $2 trillion.

Roughly $495 billion in single-stock derivatives are set to expire Thursday, with another $980 billion of S&P 500-linked contracts and $170 billion in options tied to the State Street fund tracking the S&P 500 all running out as the holiday-shortened week ends, according to estimates from Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Rocky Fishman. Such volumes have been a source of volatility in the past year.

While nothing is ever assured in markets, indexes have exhibited a consistent pattern of declining on days when contracts are closed out. This time around, it comes as stocks are suffering through yet another bout of volatility, with the S&P 500 notching only four positive days since the start of the month.

It isn’t out of the ordinary to get a monthly expiration on a Thursday in April, but other “wrinkles arise because it can coincide with tax day and the start of earnings season, both of which we’re getting now,” said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers LLC. The deadline for Americans to file their tax returns is April 18.

relates to Skittish Stock Traders Are Bracing for $2 Trillion Option Expiration Source: Goldman SachsSource: Bloomberg With monetary and fiscal support receding, investors have been hunkering down -- and the mood has turned gloomy. A survey by Bank of America Corp. showed fund-manager optimism about global growth is at a record low. The greatest number since 2008 are predicting a stagflationary period of lower growth and still-high inflation. Sentiment is “poor,” said the bank’s strategist. Managers remain in the “‘sell-the-rally’ camp,” and view previous selloffs as just an “appetizer.”

Others are dialing back their optimism. JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Marko Kolanovic, once a steadfast bull, said investors who previously raised stock holdings should now take profits and shift some money to government bonds. Truist Advisory Services’ Keith Lerner downgraded his view on equities, cutting them to neutral from attractive, while saying that the range of potential economic and market outcomes was “unusually wide.”

A cautious stance is prevalent in single-stock data, too. The 20-day average of Cboe’s put-call volume ratio for single stocks has risen from a four-month low, showing an increase in moves to hedge against price drops. Meanwhile, the Cboe Volatility Index, a gauge of prices on S&P 500 options, has swung wildly this month, from as low as 18.6 to as high as 24.37. It was in the middle of that range as of 3:50 p.m. Wednesday.

“Given the backdrop of political uncertainty and supply-chain issues, I think it’s not an easy time, particularly for the equity markets,” Katy Kaminski, chief research strategist at AlphaSimplex, said in a phone interview. Inflation, for instance, “has more room to run than most people would like to think. They keep thinking everything is just going to go back to normal and I think it could take quite a while.”

Either the crypto people have lost their goddamn minds or I have, or maybe both. I honestly don't know anymore.

I am; I have a portfolio made almost entirely on blue-chip dividend growth stocks, spread across ~34 positions in 6-7 sectors. Currently up about 3% in the past 3 months, 12% in the past 6 months. Beating all 3 indexes.

Positions are: $A, $AAPL, $ABBV, $AFL, $ALL, $AVGO, $CLX, $CVX, $ENB, $EPD, $FLO, $HII, $JNJ, $KMB, $KO, $KR, $LMT, $LOW, $MAIN, $MDT, $MO, $MRK, $MS, $MSFT, $O, $OKE, $PEP, $PFE, $PG, $STAG, $T, $TGT, $TROW, and $XOM

There's a dichotomy. Some healthcare is still being affected by covid. A lot of healthcare companies had their business drop during covid. I own Medtronic, MDT. Elective surgery has almost stopped for 2 years and they took a hit. However, their forward p/e is around 17 because it's assumed that it will start up again, and even grow die to a backlog.

Type 1 diabetic here. I’ve been a DXCM customer since 2015 and always up to date on diabetes technology. Dexcom is the best continuous glucose monitor on the market right now and I can’t see another company leapfrogging them. Medtronic is a close competitor, but I couldn’t switch back to Dexcom fast enough after trying MDT out for a year. Dexcom’s accuracy and length of wear is superior, and their customer service is great. Although, the scope of the company is limited to glucose sensors. I used to think they’d be bought out, but I no longer see that happening anytime soon (my guess was always Tandem, since you’d wear the Dexcom sensor with the Tandem insulin pump). I think investing in diabetes technology is worth a look at, as diagnosis are on an uptick and projected to increase exponentially over time.

Specifically, VTR, WELL, hospitals like HCA and SEM, BSX, MDT, UNH, HUM CVS, PFE, BMY, ABBV, JNJ. Also, home Healthcare like LHCG, ADUS, AMED.

Medtronic $MDT

The Navajo-Hopi Nation Time Zone Donut would still exist. Navajo Nation would be on MDT inside of AZ and Hopi Nation, which is inside of Navajo Nation, would be on MST as well.

It makes for a confusing drive through northeast AZ.

MHK - one of the largest flooring companies in the world. Trading at P/E of 8.66. 4% of their revenue comes from Russia so they took a hit recently. Revenue trends are solid and they look to benefit from a housing shortage across western countries.

WSM - popular home goods and furniture brands. Same story as a lot of retail in 2021: moved to more direct to consumer sales online and financial metrics are steadily improving.

VSTO - thought of as a weapons/ammo producer, which they are, but they’ve been acquiring outdoor recreation brands at a fast clip and are crushing it. Camelback and Bell bike helmets are two of their brands. Tons more. Some recent tech acquisitions as well.

CARR - Like MHK, they stand to profit from housing shortage. Who doesn’t want an air condition with a new house?

MMM - Headwinds of lawsuits and supply chain woes. Tailwinds of governments desire to onshore more manufacturing. Attractive margins and return on equity of 42%. Trading at 5 year low with 4.2% dividend.

ASOMY - Favorite of a lot of big name value investors. ASOS uses a similar business model to Amazon retail but selects trendier clothing.

MDT - took a hit from COVID with elective surgeries down. Should bounce back with strong growth projected for at least a decade. Well positioned to return value back to share holders or make acquisitions at low prices as interest rates spike.

XM - the value of consumer data has never been higher. Bit pricey and risky with profit further in the future but equally large possible return here.

She also recommended Medtronic MDT that I bought. That didn't work out so well for me since it's down over 17%. The day after she said that, they did get an approval from the EU, but the stock didn't bounce up that much.

Here is my list presented in order of under to over priced in my opinion. Spoiler - You'll be sad when they get called away if you buy the undervalued ones.

HIG and MDT are at decent prices and both pay more than 2%.

FANG is about to go Ex-dividend and pays a solid special dividend too, but it's run up a ton.

MPC pays a great dividend, and isn't expensive, bit probably due for a selloff.

I've been trading full time since 2016. I've had savagely devastating years as I've traded through presidential elections, trade wars with China, collapse of the interest rates, pandemic, and now war.

My biggest mistake, one that I will NEVER repeat is to trade too big. My largest position these days is 2% of my account. This way if something goes against me one position can't wipe me out.

Second mistake is trading underlyings that have terrible liquidity. Currently SPY is the gold standard with mostly penny wide bid/ask... Now take a look at something like MDT or VMW - untradeable. The liquidity has dried up making fills difficult anywhere near a decent mid-price. Hard to enter, even harder to exit... It's a trap.

Earnings are another thing I avoid if possible. The IV crush makes for a quick buck... but it can take 10+ winning earnings trades to make up for 1 mishap... not good odds there. FB, DOCU, ROKU, SHOP... these are all examples of why I don't trade through earnings.

Avoid the big indexes SPY, QQQ, IWM, & DIA. When I want short deltas RIGHT NOW, this is where I have to do it. It balances my deltas, but I fucking hate it. These are the metrics the world measures financial power. There will always be buying pressure to push these towards ATH. Unfortunately these are so BLOATED with the feds printing press that I can't be involved on the long side... and because of the institutional focus on pushing these higher my shorts always get run over with the rally... I am not the kind of person to "buy the dip". Trade as a LAST RESORT.

In the next week or so all my March positions have to roll to April. I have inverted positions, unrealized losses, positions that are stressing me with the wild swings. Currently I have about 50% of my capital allocated, and would like to scale that back to around 30%. IVR is too high, and even though my greeks are in line, that theta hasn't worked, nor will it until the week of expiration.

I have no confidence in the market, or my trades... but I make them anyway because this is what I chose to do with my brain, money, and time.

Fuck mdt they laid me off years ago to replace me with a temp worker while I was going to school to advance in the company

Forget about a bear market, when everybody is pessimistic, it's time to buy. Let's load $PYPL, $BABA, $MDT, $T

Over the long term my advice is to stick to DTE and % profit to close trades. Trying to time the market is an exercise in insanity.

Win or lose, I am closing a position 14-7 DTE, and redeploying that capital in a monthly cycle with 45-30 DTE. Red/Green days are irrelevant (except when IVR is higher in highly liquid underlyings).

Ex: I had an inverted strangle in MDT (Medtronic) with a 110 short PUT and a 102 short call. With the rally the past two days the amount of premium was less than a dollar. 9 days before expiration, earnings prior to the next monthly cycle, and the bid/ask has widened out... meaning it's no longer a highly liquid trade. I closed my whole position for a small loss, and will redeploy that capital. After earnings if the liquidity picks up and the premium is attractive... only then would I re-enter a trade.

Nothing.

Though if I was pushed to invest into something, $MDT looking nice at this price level.

Yeah what you state is fair- less likely to beat the market. Institutional holding is at 65%. In comparison to Medtronic, another big global company with a nice dividend (2.44%) MCD is not doing as well- MDT has institutional holdings at nearly 80%.

Based upon that off the cuff analysis it seems like the whale dividend investors agree with you that they're less likely to beat the market than other securities out there.

MDT . They’re the primary implantable device company for pacers, ICDs, loop recorders, among many other things. Considering the connection between obesity and a-fib, it seems like a pretty safe bet they’ll have plenty of market share for years to come. Plus it’s looking pretty good for a bounce after big sell off. Just a thought…

I feel stupid that since everything I bought based upon House member buys has gone down, especially MDT Medtronic that is down 16%.

My other personal high conviction is that if there isn't a cost cap placed on device and medical tech companies(MDT, INTU) as well as Healthcare housing REITs and Home Health companies, the wealthier upper 1/2 of the aging population will spend all of their savings on what those sectors have to offer. It's just what I see.

>FDA SAYS MEDTRONIC INC RECALLS HAWKONE DIRECTIONAL ATHERECTOMY SYSTEM DUE TO RISK OF TIP DAMAGE DURING USE $MDT

^*Walter ^Bloomberg ^@DeItaone ^at ^2022-01-21 ^09:19:20 ^EST-0500

I have been not buying since October of last year and continue to stack cash. Will Add PSA, MKC, MDT, AMT and PG when the time is right. I expect it to be June/July time frame. I have several different level of spy puts that I have been moving forward since OCT.

This was easy to see coming, but all the new investors here have no idea what is about to happen. They only know the market goes up. Time for a reality check.

GOOGL @ 4.15% MSFT @ 3.27% MDT @ 2.95%

Medtronic has recently bottomed due to bullshit FDA reasons and idiotic downgrades. It’s going back up - but I’m not trying to pump MDT here. The company is nearing an FDA approval of their Hugo surgical robot, which will likely take a large market share away from Intuitive Surgical. It’s not a cheap play, but long term Intuitive puts could be a big winner in the future.

Emotional yourself. In just the past week MSFT is down 7.5%. ADBE, CRM, NOW, ETSY and NFLX are all down around 10% each. Slightly more speculative stocks like SE, MELI and SHOP are down about 15%.

In late autumn we already had large drops from stocks like PYPL, DIS, CHTR, CMCSA and MDT.

Anything other than semis. BA, MS, BAC, CRM, MDT. I’d sell FB and get GOOGL or MSFT instead. Maybe sell one of the semi names and get something from a different sector too

Maintain a 50-50 mix of stable, large cap stocks paying dividends (big 5 Canadian banks +ENB ) + dividend paying index etf (US/CAN).

In a second account I have 3 stocks with close stop losses ensuring I don’t take a loss;

MDT (after the big drip) MU ATD (Canadian).

I stick to large cap, positive eps, market/sector leaders (leaders-ish), with solid leadership.

I know it won’t get me 150%+ gains per year but it works out well.

I got out of the US MSO (CURA/TRUL/GTII)…these are multiyear holds that swing 5%+ on some days and will make you queasy if you’re watching daily.

NVDA, TSM, TSLA, GOOG, and MDT calls to kick off 2022!

Struggled but will break out: NET, PYPL, APPS

Struggle but am neutral/unsure: MDT, SOFI, INTC

Struggled and will continue to struggle: RKLB (until maybe 2024-25).

MDT (Medtronic). Seems to have had a really rough year and unfair loss after an FDA warning letter. High dividend (2 dollars and change a year). But it also seems like a pretty weak growth pick.

Wont exist based on what? According to microaxis.com, GameStop has less than a 2% chance of bankruptcy. That’s 1.5% chance higher than apple and 25% lower than MDT (some stock you pitched in another comment).

MDT

Medtronic on the dip. Lookin nice may take a position. Would love your thoughts.

MDT down 6%. I am at cost average 130, worth loading up more at 105? Seems like a relatively stable company with high dividend.

>*Medtronic Diabetes Receives FDA Warning Letter $MDT

^*Walter ^Bloomberg ^@DeItaone ^at ^2021-12-15 ^06:45:40 ^EST-0500

I’m looking at LMT MDT WMT as defensives with yield

And maybe… INTC?

I’m currently in : AFL, ABBV, BMY, CSCO, JNJ, KMB, MDT, PG, VZ, WBA & XOM. Mainly all dividend “aristocrats” however I mainly looked for companies I liked and seem positioned to do well. For me as well

I'm not going to list 80 tickers, but will talk philosophy instead. Performance has varied a lot because I buy over time. Energy, finance, and materials have been awesome with some 100% plus returns, but that's mostly because I bought during the March 2020 lows. NUE is up 174%. I wouldn't buy NUE at this price, but I'm more than happy to hold it, collect the dividend, and use the increased leverage for options plays. Some stocks I own are well down today, but I don't plan to sell them. For example MDT is down 8% since I bought it earlier this year, but it will recover and perform in due time. I am buying a few shares of MDT here and there and collecting the dividend while I wait for recovery.

It's a huge advantage to diversify. Some people don't want to put thought and time into it, which is totally fine, but these people won't get the advantages. Diversification gives you an edge, for free.

The strongest indicator BY FAR for a stock's performance in my portfolio is the length of time I have owned the stock. Way more important than any other factor.

My original plan was solid with an 8% return overall. If I can get 8% reliably, I can retire in 2 years. This year returned 25% and I could not possibly be happier with tripling my minimum expectations.

She had inside on MDT. Day after she said she bought it, EU approved their most promising product.

>Toyota mdt tech here: i rock an 08 Prius, i bought it for 2k

You didn't really answer his question considering these prices no longer exist.

First time in a while Medtronic (MDT) has had a spike this big. I forgot why I even bought this pick. Anyone have opinions on MDT?

Toyota mdt tech here: i rock an 08 Prius, i bought it for 2k, it gets 40mpg hwy, and they dont break very often. The occasional hv cell that you can have someone come out and change instead of the whole hv battery, and the gauge cluster will go out eventually. Just replace or repair.

Having a car that old insurance and reg is cheap, used parts are around, and finding one to buy in fair-good shape isnt hard. Be aware though: 2nd and 3rd gen Prius are a 160k car. Around 160k is when they need brakes, batterys, etc. Also 2nd gen burns oil like a mf, expect adding 1 qt of oil every 1500 miles. Also super common for head gasket failure on 3rd gen (09 up) around 150k, then hv battery failure around 160k.

Tldr, if you want a cheap hybrid veh to get a to b find an 08 Prius around 120k thats clean with decent tire life. Do normal maintenance they are good little cars at a good price.

(Save money, buy cash under 5k, monthly payments and car ins will destroy you.)

So I’m a little curious about MDT. They’ve been on a losing streak, but they had a good day today. I know one good day does not a tend make, but what are people’s thoughts on them?
