Locator: 48599CRAMER.

Cramer's first hour: a mix of facts, factoids, opinions from various sources -- often not cited -- while listening to Cramer's first hour on CNBC.  Link here.

.Goldman Sachs, link here:

Cramer: livid with anger about analysts reporting poor Apple iPhone 16 sales over the weekend -- iPhone 16 Pro and Max Pro. 

Cramer: still bullish on DIS. Owns it for his charitable trust. 

Tech: "everything" looks negative pre-market; exception -- Oracle up a bit. Cramer, et al, spent a lot of time on Oracle. Broadcom, Oracle, and Nvidia up double-digits last week. 

Personal investing: Sophia looking at taking advantage of buying tech on the dip. 

Empire State Manufacturing Survey, link here. Forecast: -0.5. Actual: up 11.5 points.

WTI: reclaims $70. 

AAPL: down over $8 at the open. Down 3.6%. 

Boeing: incredibly, 45 minutes into Cramer's first hour and has not mentioned Boeing, unless I missed it. But does discuss Cleveland-Cliffs and US Steel.

Musical interlude: Miami Vice.  

Later: again, on CNBC today, mid-day, the talk was back to "hard landing" vs "soft landing." It feels like we've been having this discussion for years. It makes one wonder how long we're going to have this discussion. As far as I can tell, there's been no "advertised" timeline.
