Tech -- Random Update -- After Peace Breaks Out In The Mideast -- April 8, 2026

Locator: 50462TECH. 

All DHS workers will have received their first paycheck this Friday. Six weeks without pay. US Congress has still not authorized payment; current pay through executive order. This is not over. Link here.

ServiceNow: link here to wiki. A chatbot query listed ServiceNow as one of the top ten holdings for AI / Fourth Industrial Revolution for investors with a 30-year horizon. I had not heard of this comopany and the other ten are the likes of Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, etc. What's the deal with ServiceNow (ticker: NOW) and do you agree that it deserves to be on the top ten list for this sector?

My data points:

  • in dollars, very cheap -- $100 / share
  • P/E at 60: relatively cheap if it's as promising as some say
  • chart: price appreciation -- dreadfully awful over the past year
  • no dividend
