Summary

Ongoing price action isn’t so pretty, but then… its a Thursday.
Friday should offer an opp’ to bounce.


notable stock: AAPL

Apple holding up well to the main market, and should settle green.

notable weakness: SCHW

Urgh, as I remain concerned about my broker.

notable bond yield proxy: TNX, 60min

Yields choppy, if mostly leaning lower.
I’d accept a triple gap fill to 4.35% looks out of range.

notable health: MRNA

The m/t horror continues. The only hope is the WHO mandate shots for the global popn, even as the excess death rate remains undeniable.
