The Market Held Up Quite Remarkably -- April 3, 2023

Locator: 44296B.

Wow, I'm quite surprised. The market held up quite well. I expected a lot of profit taking.

Biggest winner today: Saudi Aramco.

I certainly thought profit-taking would have dampened the euphoria before the close. There is still almost an hour left of trading, so it's not yet over, but AAPL was a surprise; UNP was not.

The biggest surprise: CAT. (I don't follow the airlines).

Not a surprise:

• UNP: down
  
• BRK (OXY): up
  
• MCD: up
  

A surprise:

• AAPL: up
  
• T: up
  
• CAT: up
  
• CHRD: a huge suprise, up $9.
• COP: up 9% (?)
• HES: up $11

It should be noted that the following three companies have been quite forthcoming about raising dividends:

• DVN
• COP
• CHRD
