Amazon Prime Days: best deals -- according to TNYT. Link here. I found this site un-useful.
It's much better to go directly to Amazon.com and then begin surfing. Amazon breaks it out very, very nicely. And, no, despite what TNYT says, most of the "prime day" deals on Amazon do NOT stink. Wow, sounds like sour grapes. I wonder if TNYT goes on sale (a yearly subscription) on Amazon Prime Days. LOL.
The writer of this NYT article on Amazon's Prime Days comes across as a spoiled brat who isn't a Prime member, and doesn't really know how to surf Amazon efficiently. But then that's just me.
By they way, for the past twenty years, maybe longer, my favorite company was Apple. No longer. Amazon is now my favorite company with regard to shopping. With regard to investing, I'm still on the fence, but I no longer add to my Apple position (I'm so overweighted in AAPL) but I add regularly to AMZN in very small increments (mostly because there are so many opportunities (and charities) competing for my dollars.
If you think inflation is only going to get worse, and the US is going to implode due to the deficit, highly recommend that you "distribute" your wealth now to extended family members and elementary school teachers. Your dollars will go further now than they will in the future.
Amazon Prime Days: every school year and throughout the school year I buy classroom supplies for the school Sophia attends and give cash gifts to some of the teachers as the year progresses and they run out of supplies. Right now, Amazon is a big, big help. One of the big purchases yesterday was three boxes of #2 pencils, 150 in each box. I was alerted to the need for these pencils last year during state testing exams.
Next time you're buying AA batteries, compare what you are paying to 25 cents / battery. Generally speaking, the best price I can find for AA and AAA batteries: 50 cents / battery. These may not last as long as some other brand name batteries, but my hunch no one will ever know / no one will ever notice.
Another tease: whether you love him or hate him -- I don't find a lot of folks on the fence, President Trump is most transformational president we've had since FDR (?). I can't imagine what it would be like with another Obama-Hillary-Bernie-Jill-Karine administration. Absolutely no way.
Pre-market:
- AMD: up almost 4%.
- NVDA: up 1%.
- ORCL: ex-dividend today and up 1.5%.
- AVGO: up nearly a percent.
- PLTR: flat; tea leaves -- will turn green today.
- AAPL: down a bit; tea leaves -- disarray, chaotic, no pattern with these tea leaves
- MP: up 64%.
- AMZN: flat; tea leaves -- will turn green today.
Good luck to everyone.
I'm headed out to the pool -- 8:26 a.m. CT -- Thursday.
Sophia and I will be seeing the new Superman movie tonight -- in a special preview, before it launches nationwide tomorrow. No trailers. Will start immediately when the house lights go dim.

NFL commissioner on CNBC this morning. Long segment on Amazon's Thursday Night Football. Huge success.
Like AAPL, it's getting harder and harder to figure out what business sector Amazon is in.
Retail? Logistics? Tech? The cloud? Advertising? Entertainment?
