Jiu-Jitsu: Gen Z's version of Twister. Seriously. Google Gemini query.
Kristi-Noem-purse thief: sentenced to three years in prison. Wow.
MacBook Neo: I "had" to visit Costco today to pick up some gifts. The visit gave me a chance to see the new MacBook Neo.
It really is amazing. To walk up to the Apple computers, and among high-end computers, there's a Neo that looks just like all there rest -- except for the price -- "in-person," seeing the $589 price tag is amazing. Did anyone really think we would ever see a state-of-the-art Apple laptop for under $600?
Saying it's under $600 makes it sound even more expensive that it really is. It's $589 -- holy mackerel. Next fall it should qualify for Texas "back-to-school" tax-free weekend. I don't know, but it should.
Heavy metal: copper on fire today; link here. Could test all-time highs. Both GLW and SCCO up 2% today. LUMN? Up 6% today.
******************************
Back to the Bakken
WTI: $92.52. Up $2.84; up 3%. Most likely due to:
- reports that Iran seized two tankers in the strait;
- the US blockade on Iran is holding;
- everyone knows Iran won't negotiate away their uranium or their control of monetizing the strait (i.e., diplomacy is over);
- Trump, meanwhile, can simply sit, stalk, select.
