Summary

Regardless of the exact close, with a new hist’ high, its just another day for the bulls.

I merely hold OXY… and looking to buy back SMR. I see no hurry on the latter… not least this side of OPEX.


notable stock: AAPL

There was no live event. All that Apple did was post a few videos about a new version of the iPhone16. Weak.

notable weakness: INTC

Just a retrace.

notable strength: TSLA

No news… that I’m aware of.

notable steel: CLF

Sig’ lower, but still in the upper $11s.
I’ve zero interest in paying that high.

back at the close…
