Investing -- Rambling -- December 7, 2023

Locator: 46249INV.  

Tax-loss selling: is over. Now back to a nice market today.

Chart of the day. Both companies have been around for more than twenty years. Everyone has some information that is published every year  in something called the annual report.

Market today. Cramer called it:

AAPL: wow, AAPL just opened higher; remains solidly above $3.00 trillion market cap. 

AMD: up 4%.

Both new deals -- XOM / PXD and CVX / HES -- under increased scrutiny. Shouldn't concern anyone. The question is how an investor should invest in these companies. I'm no longer interested in energy as an investment but if I were, I would be adding more of the independent Permian players right now. See disclaimers.

Buyback: look at this huge jump -- 

 CNBC interview this morning: CEO not convincing.

The Movie Page

Yes, it started out as a movie.

"Everyone" has seen the YouTube clip. I wonder how many folks have actually seen the pilot? I never had ... until last night. Again, an incredible series. Lasted two years. Problems for syndication. Same problems WKRP in Cincinnati had. 

By the way, speaking of streaming. Knives Out -- the second installment released some years ago is now available for free with limited commercial interruption. Not easy to find -- unless you have Netflix -- but it's out there in the wild. I found it on Pluto last night. Weird.

Following its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022, Glass Onion began a one-week limited theatrical release on November 23, 2022, receiving the widest theatrical release ever for a Netflix film and grossing $15 million; Netflix began streaming it on December 23, 2022.

Like its predecessor, Glass Onion received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising Johnson's screenplay and direction, the performances of the cast, and the musical score. The National Board of Review named Glass Onion as one of the top ten films of 2022. The film received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 95th Academy Awards, and received numerous other accolades.
