While we're waiting, let's look at the market:
  • major indices
    • NASDAQ: up 61 points
    • Dow: down almost 300 points; worried about the Fed today
    • S&P 500: down 16 points
  • Of interest:
    • the airlines:
      • UAL: down almost 13%
      • DAL: down almost 12%
      • LUV: down almost 7%
      • AAL: down over 12%
      • see this link:
    • AAPL: up another $6; hits another all-time record; 
      • market cap: $1.516 trillion (that's with a "t")
    • IMUX: down 9%
    • EPD: down 4%; paying over 8%;
From this link, I get such a kick out of this:
This is huge, absolutely huge, and explains why I said an analyst recently made a rookie mistake when he said Warren Buffett made a mistake by "panic selling" his airline stocks. See "Warren Buffett's Spreadsheet" below. Re-posting from a couple of days ago:
Panic selling: there is an article over at Investor's Business Daily which suggests Warren Buffett took a $2.7 billion loss due to "panic selling" of his equity in four airlines (UAL, AAL, LUV, and DAL).  The journalist made a huge rookie mistake in his analysis.Warren Buffett's spreadsheet below:

Clickbait: I "never" click on stories with these kind of headlines, but not much news out there, so --- two of the "ten of the best cheap dividend stocks to buy right now" -- I have built positions over the years in two of them. Just saying.

  1. i've looked around, & Zero Hedge seems to be the only one who noticed crude inventories were at a record high..

    i had figured that would be the headline virtually everywhere..

    1. Thank you. I didn't realize they were at a record high but I did see they were at record highs since I started tracking them ... I just move to fast, catching headlines, that I forget to slow down and look at what's happening.

      Thank you for noting that. If it weren't for sites like ZeroHedge (and some politically far right sites -- good, bad, indifferent) there would be a lot of stories we wouldn't see.

  2. that record is also 52.3% above the prior 5 year (2010 - 2014) average of our crude oil stocks for the first week of June; here's the math:
    538,065 / ((355,221 + 365,179 + 358,610 +346,897 + 340,906 ) / 5) =1.5227
