I just did a little research on Isle Of Wright....Lori. I had heard of it.....and already knew a bit....of course. Looks like an amazing place. Gorgeous secretary....very historic....mild climate....great beaches....and a large enough population to not be too rural. Plus right off the coast....so easy access to larger areas. Even DINOSAURS. I know you have at least one child....LORI......what a great....MAGICAL.... environment to grow up in.
HEY.....COSTCO. WAKE UP. Netflix announces a 10-for-1 stock split https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/30/netflix-stock-split.html YOU are killing your shareholders with your petulant refusal to slit your wonderful stock.
WELL....AAPL is now red. AND....the markets are losing a good bit of the early gains. AMZN is still holdibng on to big gains today. The big averages are still GREEN.....but we certainly saw some sellers and profit takers and probably speculators sweep in and sell. The MORONIC disrespect of MSFT continues today...with the stock down about $8. I defy anyone to give a rational explanation of why. they have great management and are making all the right moves for the future growth and health of the company.

THANK YOU....AMZN....for injecting some reason and rationality into the current climate regarding AI....with your earnings. Amazon’s Cloud Acceleration Calms Investor Fears of AI Bubble https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-cloud-unit-posts-fastest-092530810.html
NVDA....they are everywhere. They are creating a MASSIVE web of companies they are involved with or own part of. Amazing foresight.

We cut rates twice...and the Ten Year Yield does not budge.....it is still above 4%. Thank you.....POWELL. What an idiot. This is what happens when you have a FED chair spouting nonsense opinions....based on nothing.....and driving the economy, rates, and stocks....to do irrational things based on short term MORONIC commentary. I know a good number of people that think these Washington DC insiders are intentionally trying to tank the economy....I dont doubt it.....but.....I am not sure these empty suits have the ability to intentionally do anything. STFU....STFU.
I just looked at my eight stocks....but not my account. I am sure I have a big gain right now....but...it will be at risk as the day goes on.....since the markets are quickly faltering right now. BUT....I am being carried by ONLY three GREEN stocks....NVDA, PLTR, and AMZN. Hang in there boys....keep those gains for me.
It is HALLOWEEN. Nice for the kids to have it fall on a Friday this year. We will set up a table in our driveway and my wife and I will sit out there with big boxes of full size candy. We do the table thing.....because we dont want kids ringing the door bell with our three dogs in the house. We also have a gated courtyard in the front of our house.....and some kids might not be comfortable with that. Here the really little kids will start about 5:30.....and we will be manning the candy table till about 8:00. We usually get about 80 kids. This year we have full size boxes and bars of Starburst, Sour Patch, Whoppers, Baby Ruth, Dots, Butterfinger, Reece's, and Hershey bars. Every year we try to buy candy based on what was popular last year. It is always a surprise what is popular...it changes every year.
Earnings are coming in GREAT......stocks are booming.....everything is at all time highs....with MORE TO COME. I would love to get though today with a great gain...but I will settle for ANY gain today....since the markets seem to be looking for an excuse to go down today. that is my "feeling". At least it is a traditional....NORMAL...day, with little news other than earnings. Time to just sit and watch the action happen in real time for a while.....than in about 2.5 hours.....out to lunch.
YOU nailed it Smokie.....that is our house all right. Have you been stalking me? That upper window that is all lit up....is my study.....where I do all my ALCHEMY with stocks and investing. My stuffed RAVEN sits...in the corner looking at me with un-moving eyes. A big cauldron of...."financial fundamentals"...bubbles away on my cluttered work area.....as I add eye of newt, toe of frog, insects and herbs to the mix....waiting for some sign from the investing spirits. I am wearing my WIZARD hat and cape...along with my green accountant eye shade. "Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble"....show me the stocks that will rise like the dead today......and keep the losses far away. In the back-ground of my attic lair...a trio of background singers (witches?)....are chanting: “Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,— For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble. Show us the stocks, show us the money, Ride the wave, Ride the wave for long term gain, and protect us from the pain.....of the nasty FED. ”
Looking ahead....on Monday...it will be PLTR earnings. I am really looking forward to that one. Dear Palantir Stock Fans, Mark Your Calendars for November 3 https://www.barchart.com/story/news...stock-fans-mark-your-calendars-for-november-3
