AI: making investing so much more interesting. Today, the META/Indiana headline. I can go directly to AI, ask the questions that I need answered. Much more efficient than reading AP stories. Reuters stories always have a paywall. Paywalls no longer matter. 

Apple: unexpected surge in iPhone 17 sales in China. Nice. Link here. AAPL paid its dividend today. 

META: Indiana.
