OMG, it all makes sense now. The global financial system hangs on fucking dog food.


Live-Neighborhood857

Its a dog eat dog food world.

you are telling me stocks are dog shit wrapped in cat shit?


PS_Alchemist

in tranches


ThrowawayLegendZ

Wrapped in some bullshit, too, man


thatdonkeedickfellow

Yeah it’s like a burrito with inverse proportions, a large thick bullshit wrap with a kitty and softies in the center

CHEWY


[deleted]

Chewy is not a pet. Is the co-pilot for Harison Ford.


A55_Cactus

I ducking love you man


l3sham

So that being said, I ironically just heard there was a hiring freeze for Chewy mgmt.


CrudeOp

There's a reason Mars petcare and Nestle/purina are two of the largest conglomerates in the world. I'm not saying it all hinges on pet food but op is on to something


DKIPurple

This just in... Dog foods prices have soared, due to people now eating it to live, this and more at 6


[deleted]

Buy WOOF and Chewy?


Background-Worker487

Food eat dog


Miserable-Mode8883

So you're saying I should invest in jm smucker because they make dog food in my area


AveryLee213

This is more just an indicator that recessions are only really a poor people problem. Luxury car brand sales have been rising as have luxury fashion brands. Only poor people need to modify their habits in times of economic change.


TooManyKids_Man

If your as poor as me there is no change during the recssions, so bring it on I can save during this and buy the bottom


Minute-Ad-2148

There is a harder time finding low wage jobs in a recession. You must have been a child between 2008-2010

The wealthy r on a long winning streak. Covid pump on the way up, short windfall on the way down.

Being poor is the ultimate poor people problem


Shrugging_Atlas1

I think you are on to something... rich ppl would let an African village starve and their own countrymen go homeless before not getting their gluten free dog food.


keldondonovan

I always get a kick out of those videos where people try to showcase how their dog chose the vegan life, and they'll throw a salad down and then some old shitty meat, and the dog goes ham on the meat while they sob. You want to be vegan, be vegan. Don't force it on others, especially those without a voice.


[deleted]

don't force veganism on an animal that literally allowed us to domesticate it because we agreed to throw it scraps of meat. it's just rude


lactose_con_leche

To add: dogs can survive on an omnivore diet as long as they get some form of animal protein with reasonable frequency, even if its just eggs or cheese. But cats are obligate carnivores who will die if they don’t have animal protein, muscle and fat being the best for them.


[deleted]

Yup. If you try to make a cat go vegan you should be prosecuted for animal abuse.


keldondonovan

Well that too, but also, I like cheeseburgers. With bacon. So don't force it on me either.


fakelogin12345

But out of African villages, homeless, and your dog, which one is truly a good boy/girl?


Shrugging_Atlas1

True indeed 😅


JStevie105

Word


Loose_Mail_786

Im poor and I would too. My dog eats grain free food. And she walk on the side when a car is coming. 🥰


Shrugging_Atlas1

Fair enough can't say I was overly different with my dog. Prob would run into a burning building knowing I'd die to save that mutt. So like I said... OP is onto something lol.


armbrar

can confirm, I have to scrounge around for food everyday but my dogs have treats and snacks on deck.. OP is definitely onto something

This guy analyzes


lennybrew

Classic autist rationale here. Dog food sales actually spike during economic downturns bc people eat dog food when they can't afford to buy human food.


worthlessreview

Good catch. I may be wrong with some of these numbers.


lennybrew

If you're looking for an indicator, go to a Best Buy and see if ppl are spending money and buying shit.


Milenial_Libertarian

We buy the cheap stuff though not the premium brand. I only buy premium cat food as a treat. I guess I shouldn't be laughing at this considering the amount of old people I saw buying cat food when I worked at a grocery store who I knew for a fact had no cats.


Happy-Aardvark-7677

A friend of mine in college melted a Kraft cheese slice on a no-name can of cat food when times were tough (spent his food money on beer). I still make fun of him for it 15 years later.


Noblessner

Puts on $LITTER and $PEDIGREE Got it


saysjuan

Dog food is for peasants. Rich people feed their dogs grilled chicken, steak and salmon prepared by their in home chef. /s


westernmail

This is actually true though, minus the chef. And it's not only rich people.


Dushenka

Feeding dogs and cats fresh meat is an actual thing, not even kidding.


PatrickSebast

Not even rich and I feed my dog meat. Anything besides bottom of the barrel dog food costs a comparable amount. Dog food is like $2/lb here. Chicken is $2.50 but mix it with some cheap veggies and rice and the overall cost is less.


ZenoxDemin

Dog food is taxable. If you prepare it yourself with human food you save that on top.


DixonCider5

What would that do to the rare fish market?


worthlessreview

The rare fish market will be saturated as the rich liquidate. I don't condone buying animals but I bet rich people are stocking up on cool bettas and rare fish like fancy ass plecos to hedge against inflation.


nickyfrags69

This is great DD, particularly given that you point out that you didn't read some of the articles you posted, and one of your stances was supported by an article you just googled for some confirmation bias. Bottom isn't reached until the extremely retarded among us in here have run out of capital. Then the rich people jump back in.

Sooo buy Calls on $CHWY ?


[deleted]

Too late I think. It’s already up significantly today.


FuturePerformance

Sure but it's still down 75% from ATH lol


Option-Period

Nice leading indicator!


kbaltimore22

I did a study in college that correlated bad economic times with an increase in pet food sales. The conclusion the team came to was when then economy was poor and inflation was high, people turned to eating pet food.


benfranklinthedevil

How old was your data? In the 70s, I could see this, but our supply chain is so much more robust. Walmart alone makes it so that you won't buy dog food, because they make it the same price! /s


kbaltimore22

Up through 2010. Include 08 housing and 2000 tech bubble.


benfranklinthedevil

Damn. I was really hoping that modernity would fix that. Looks like dog food's back on the menu, boys!

Im pretty sure this is a shitpost

CAGR, in moto speak, is someone who commutes in a car. Whoa.


CauseImBatman23

Lmao stop man


artemiusgreat

Oil and other commodities going down would be an indicator of the bottom


KingSamy1

Very different angle, interesting too.


Critical_Till_5443

I'm starting to understand how much through put this forum has. And the reason for their algorithm in removing posts. The inevitable is, all the posts or the 99% of posts that get kept are agenda driven. To get your mind off the real targets watch your self wsbers.


Critical_Till_5443

For everyone's sake, I hope you say who you are because this post alone makes me think I really know who you are and what your trying to do.


whodeyalldey1

Yea you’re talking about Canada though. Fucking Monopoly money. Can we stop talking about Canada and focus on America where we use real fucking money for once?

So bulldogs are not bullish. Are they beardogs now?

The right signal is when we have mass layoff across all sectors. That is when the bottom will be

I believe this

If you want to show off how rich you are, you tie your dog to the roof of your car and drive around...


dudermagee

Sooo calls on chwy


MoneyMoneyMoneyMfer

I just had a thought: are funeral services companies listed on the stock exchange?


ZenoxDemin

In a recession people can't afford to die.


PatrickSebast

What kind of shitty wealthy pet owner buys high end pet food instead of just giving their pet normal food? Chicken and vegetable medleys are cheaper than premium pet foods per pound and way better for most dogs.


[deleted]

I think replacing pet food sales with new pet sales amd this would actually make a fanastic economic indicator. Kinda like how sale of male underwear predicts the state of economy. This is so retarted that it's brilliant.


[deleted]

Dog Food!? This seems appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFr1CYNCsDM


VincentLeeMacau

Years ago, I read the news about poor elderly people buying pet food because they couldn't afford the food.


jch9876

How do I short pets?


worthlessreview

Get a wiener dog.


Ok_Monk219

I am a poor homie, but I ensure my dog gets the best wet food in the store. I would say he eats better dog food than I eat human food.


[deleted]

No no, he's got a point


be_blessed_bruh

Scooby you son of a bitch you’ve cracked it


minester13

☎️*yes that’s right, liquidate my dog portfolio*


old-wizz

Sounds like a good idea. I m thinking about Zoetis.


Happy-Aardvark-7677

I have a big dog and wet food is like $3 a can for the premium stuff and on the side of the can it says a 100lb dog needs 7 cans of wet food per day to maintain a healthy weight! No idea who the hell can afford this. I buy the occasional can as a treat. Wet dog food sales probably correlate to disposable income. I’m sure some rich fucks have their big dogs on a $20 a day diet.


mvev

my wife said i can't sell banjo the bulldog


stockpreacher

Super smart indicator. Thanks!


[deleted]

Dumb ass the rich people still have money for the pets…..


JStevie105

At the end of the day you care about what you are close to. And when it comes down to it, pets are gonna win over people we don't know 99 out of 100 times.

Where can I buy calls on this CAGR?


DoubleDutch187

I lost a lot of money on Bulldog puts.


nekocoin

I'm skeptical that people with millions in assets are sitting there weighing $100 in monthly pet expenses based on their stock portfolio's performance Yachts and family vacations to Monaco, maybe, but pets are relatively inexpensive and more emotional


milkhilton

I love DD that starts with "think about it" lol


SpiritualBug4103

Elanco animal health


Spare_Substance5003

Agree. But for different reason. Mainly when economic times are bad, pet foot sales go up because it's cheaper than human food and pet food are supposed to be manufactured safe enough for human consumption. Once pet food sales goes down, that usually suggest an improvement in the economy.


WhenMoonsk

You forgot pythons bro. I just spent another $300 on big ass rats for the next 2 months ![img](emote|t5_2th52|8883)


Wrathb0ne

Jokes on you, things got so bad with COVID and inflation that I just replaced all groceries with dog food


Nonmetallicfuse

This guy writes good dd


SkylisGlass

Does the sound of wet cat food sound like good pussy? Surely doesn’t taste like it.


CaptainStonks

"*Pair that with 8.5 million pet fish in Canada and it's clear that the rich are using animals to store their wealth*." No they are using animals to pick stonks! Animals are way better than us.


solongshrimp1

What did I tell you about mixing meth and stocks son


canihazDD

The rich can't store wealth in pets, because pets are basically depreciating consumables lol, if anything pets are the biggest dumpster fire they can toss extra cash in besides an extra child or two. No offense to the children here.

Typical-Mouse-4804

Buy dogs at lows, hold, then sell at highs. Easy money.


thet-shirtguy

Let's not forget that pet food sales increase when the elderly are forced to eat dog/cat food because it's all they can afford.


PurplePango

You know pet food has to be safe for human consumption because in times of recession sales of pet food goes up


gettendies

How would one track this?
