Futures brighter as worries over a virus in China are fading. That was quick. Shades are always on hand, but not needed. Crude down fractionally. Gold is flat much to the dismay of King Midas who could not be reached for comment. Bitcoin down slightly for no reason at all. The $8,000 Remain Calm! level has been broken but Bitcoin is stuck. Good to see Tesla in the news. We don't hear enough about them. Valuation? What is valuation at this point. $TSLA follows no rules but rather behaves like no other stock. Good for investors in $TSLA. It's not a profit or a loss unless you sell, right? I see that an analyst calls Tesla's stock gain as "extremely unusual." I'll say! Long $TSLA via Fidelity Contrafund shares. Tesla is now the world's second most valuable car maker! Cake in the break room at all Gigafactories, except the Riverbend factory in Buffalo, NY. No cake for you!Ed note: TSLA rose 10% in 24 hours: $TSLA, Tesla, Inc. / H1 Elon Musk is excommunicado. All services associated with The Continental are closed to him. Boeing news? You have your daily update and it is brought to you by Boeing, of course. Goldman Sachs’s CEO called WeWork’s pulled IPO — which Goldman was underwriting — proof that the market works. Nice to see something on WeWork again. It has been a long time. Amazon has filed to trademark "Amazon Pharmacy" in Canada, the U.K. and Australia. The filing in Canada lists other potential areas for Pharmacy, including surgical and dental instruments and medical and veterinary preparations. Speaking of Amazon, it appears that CEO Jeff Bezos had his phone hacked. Might be time to switch to an iPhone. Saudi Arabia getting blamed for the hacking which occurred in 2018. Sounds like the old Yahoo Mail! hacking (twice) which went unreported for two years after discovering the breach. Speaking of iPhones, Apple is working on a new low-cost iPhone to add to its line. I know that I heard this some time ago and wonder why it is big news now. Long $AAPL and even my daughter, who is in middle school, knew Apple was coming out with a cheaper iPhone as she has been asking my wife and I for one since before Christmas. Breaking News? Indeed. $AAPL, Apple Inc. / H1 Beyond Meat with a huge gain yesterday on some Starbucks news. Amazing given that Beyond Meat was never mentioned in the big Starbucks news. Mr. Market seems to grasp at anything lately. Get a grip Mr. Market. $BYND. $BYND, Beyond Meat, Inc. / H1 PG&E back in the news with a tab for burying power lines in California. $240 Billion to get the job done. Our power lines are underground in my neck of the woods and there are some real benefits from where I am sitting. $240B? At $3 Million a mile to bury the lines, I guess it adds up. Seems rather pricey to me. $PCG $PCG, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. / H1 Natural gas prices plunge below $2/MMBTU. "It's been endlessly warm this season," says Bespoke Weather Service chief meteorologist Brian Lovern, adding that the December-January period likely will rank among the top five warmest of those two months on record. I would like Brian Lovern to visit my neck of the woods. 3 degrees this morning when I left the house. I get the feeling that Natural gas prices don't reflect the weather as a whole, but rather select areas. This winter has been very typical in WNY. I will take the lower prices as we heat with natural gas. Have to love endlessly warm winters!notes via user DCV....$AMD rocketed higher after the PT upgrade to $60+.
