The Market And Energy Page, Part II, T+189 -- July 28, 2017

After all that hand-wring yesterday about the market, it's amazing how things developed today -- LOL. The Dow 30 will set a new closing record today (21,830); Nasdaq will close absolutely flat.

And the US Senate, having worked really, really hard these past six months, will now head out for a well-deserved vacation.

Any new highs on the NYSE? Yup: CAT, Exelon, the New York Times, NextEra Energy, Raytheon, Sunoco, Time Warner. New lows? Only 24, including XOM. Wow.

Starbucks: down about 10% today. Let's see, a Starbucks coffee, $3.50; a McDonald's coffee for seniors: 50 cents. And we get a PlayPlace. What's not to like. LOL.

Amazon: everyone agrees that Amazon will never make a profit. And if you don't make a profit, you don't pay taxes.

Netflix: nothing seems to stop it.
