Part 4, T+58 -- January 3, 2019

Some of the following was taken from Chesto over at The Boston Globe:

Apple pays the price for its expensive phones: It was only a matter of time, in an age of $1,000 iPhones, that consumers would start saying "no more." And when they did, as tech columnist Hiawatha Bray writes, it was in Chinese.

Delta's warning rattles airline investors: The Atlanta-based carrier said fare revenue didn't climb as much as expected during the holiday season.
 

National Grid, steelworkers unions reach truce: There's a preliminary agreement in place to end the lockout that has slowed work at National Grid for more than six months. The details aren't public yet. But one thing's for sure: It will take a long time to clear out the pending backlog of gas hookups.

ISO New England is doing just fine, thank you. Very little need for Canadian hydro (very expensive) and less than 1% coal. 

Opportunities: this might be the year car prices come way down. Certainly, EVs are coming down in price. Tesla has dropped their prices and GM likely to follow. Of course, the Federal tax breaks for both companies are being phased out now that both compnies have reached "the threshold." With impeachment on the minds of US House members Congress may not have the attention span to work on extending the "EV threshold." If not an EV, the Nissan line-up is enticing. Especially the Rogue. EV sales data is almost complete for calendar year 2018.

If you have 22 minutes with nothing else to do:
The 2019 Nissan Rogue
State of Oregon slapped. Over-reach by state ruled unconstitutional

Market: I never thought I would have another chance to buy shares in some companies at such a great price.

It's up to you. Make up your mind. Do what you're gonna do. It's all so clear. It was an open book test as soon as Jerome "Jay" Powell went ahead and raised "rates" a third time when things were looking to go south, anyway.

It's Up To You, Rick Nelson
