    OK....ALL the big averages are now GREEN.

    People that bought SPCX have now survived the first big DIP in the stock. It seems to have stabilized in the mid $150's range....for now. Us shareholders are in for a long wild ride.....with many highs and lows to come over the years.

    MU is being PUNISHED for their success today. EVERYONE....must be punished. Just ask NVDA.

    Well this week is cooked. I guess we will try again next week. On the plus side I think NVDA payed out their dividend today. Have a great weekend. Better luck on Monday.

    AND....now my year to date for my entire portfolio has sunk back to just SLIGHTLY green........+0.04%. One slightly bad day and I will be in the RED for the year.

    I was thinking the other day....it seems like it has been a long time since I have had a NEGATIVE year. OR....even a year with a gain below +10%. I have been SPOILED by all the good years recently.

    This might be the year that some of us....end up in the RED. It has to happen sooner or later. If nothing changes and the markets continue to DISRESPECT success....this could be the year.

    "AI UNREST"....you have got to be kidding. What a load of BS....to have this garbage impacting the markets and the greatest companies in the world. Personally.....I am happy that all the big tech companies are spending big on AI. That is the FUTURE....and....exactly what they should be spending on.

    S&P 500, Nasdaq snap 2-week win streak as AI jitters pressure tech

    https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/l...ak-as-ai-jitters-pressure-tech-231347821.html

    AND....right on cue.....the last three days have basically...... pretty much..... wiped out any impact of the MU earnings. Did they matter?

    To continue the above.....YES....business is GREAT. Do you think the AI PROGRAM TRADERS will trade this headline or news? Somehow I dont think so.

    Underlying business conditions and business fundamentals are AMAZING right now....in spite of the markets and MEDIA negativity. BUT....we all know that DRAMA and NEGATIVITY and breathless speciation sell.....they generate clicks. And that is ALL anyone cares about anymore in the BS world of media.

    From the above article:

    "US business profits are booming no matter how you measure it, with strength in US corporate balance sheets hovering above historic norms for more than a decade.".....

    AND

    ......"Corporate profits, on an after-tax basis, represent 12.4% of US gross domestic product, the highest reading since the second quarter of 2021, when profits peaked as the COVID pandemic ebbed. It also marks the second-highest quarterly reading ever in the data, which goes back to 1947."......

    My latest gas purchase......$3.08 per gallon. AND....I believe that price is NOT justified right now. It should be down at about $2.60 to about $2.80.....here in Texas.
