The US markets: wow, wow, wow! Are all three major indices going to end up in the green? Interestingly, of the tickers I follow, BRK-B had the worse day but at the end of the day had clawed its "losses" back to only a negative 0.36% and then was up ever so slightly in after-hours trading.
Ten-year treasury yield: 1.361%.
WTI clawing its way back to $70; WTI closed at $69. Most blends traded in the red at the end of the day, but Louisiana Light was up 1.4%, up almost a buck, and trading over $70.
Yes, there it is, it looks like all three major US indices closed in the green; NASDAQ was the last to turn green and it was up 51 points at the close.
DIS: beats estimates and is up almost 6% after-hours. This is pretty amazing: up over $10 on a $190-stock.

Family Reunion
Every day during the family reunion -- 28 folks on the lake -- we worked hard at having a stress-free / work-free "main" meal each day.
The first day, the old standby: five large pizzas delivered. We had left-over slices three days later. Great snacks for some of the teenagers.
A catered pulled pork dinner on the second day was clearly the highlight of the week. It's hard to believe, but there we were, on the shore along a huge lake, and an in-town restaurant truck pulls up with a fully catered dinner.
But the best buy? Without question, five Costco rotisserie chickens. Costco continues to sell these chickens for $4.99 each. That's hard to believe: $25 for the main course to serve 28 people. Sides were from the previous day from the catered dinner: mac & cheese; baked beans; etc.
