AAPL: possible bearish signals. July 21, 2024. The web is full of these stories. Up 25% in one year.

Sweetgreen: standalone post, August 16, 2024. But first mentioned November 19, 2021 -- and I really missed it, then. Ticker: SG.

BRK-B: a huge day for the market; JPow dovish; and, BRK-B was not even up a full one percent, but Buffett-bobble-heads will have no complaints -- BRK-B trading at another 52-week high (but pays no dividend, so if you want to participate in that high, one needs to sell some shares...). BRK less than $30 billion from the trillion-dollar club.
