Locator: 48187AAPL.

CNBC Microsoft-user has now switched to a Mac laptop (7:06 a.m CDT, July 19, 2024). His counterparts still unable to access their computers. Wow. 

Personal investing: Sophia will be adding new money today to buy more AAPL. Scratch that. Sophia will be adding more AVGO today. Done. Bought.

Netflix. Link here.

• simply amazing, never seen anything like it before; some hyperbole, perhaps, but not much. Link here.

The blog.

• Bakken.

• Apple.

• Morgan Stanley's #1 pick: AAPL. Previously reported.
• Goldman Sacks, yesterday: raised its price target on AAPL to $265 up from $238 while maintaining its BUY rating. Link here.

Peggy Noonan.  Peggy Noonan’s latest. 

This was a party that at least for a week could turn the page on its obsessions. Election denialism was out, a post-DEI future in.

Politics: if Trump/Vance do win -- think about this -- no learning curve. The team has had four years to plan for this.

X: Where / how is national news being sourced today? X.

Tech with worldwide outage.

• AAPL: green pre-market. 
• MSFT: not so much. 
• CRWD: oh-oh.

Market: huge buying opportunities today.

Most astonishing comment so far this morning: CNBC's tech reporter had no answer to the question -- how could this have been prevented? 

Are you kidding me? Even I can tell you how this problem could have been predicted. USAA has figured it out; don't know if they've completely addressed the problem but they have the right idea. USAA is run by retired US military general officers.
