End-Of-Day Report -- May 7, 2026

Locator: 50745B.  

AI fourth (sixth) industrial revolution, where will you be ten years from now? 

  • The cake, a five-layer cake, from the bottom up -- Cramer's (in parentheses I would add):
    • Energy: Bloom Energy, GE Vernova, EQT, Vistra, Constellation 
      • (west Texas: Pacifico Energy and Chevron; Sempra through Oncor, grid) 
    • Chips and semis: NVID, INTC, TSMC, MU, ASML (AMD)
    • Infrastructure: AMZN, CoreWeave, Dell, CAT, Lumentum, Coherent, Corning (SCCO)
    • Models: GOOG, META, OpenAI, Anthropic, xI (AMZN -- AWS)
    • Applications: Crowdstrike, Palo Alto Networks, Palantir, Cloudflare, Databriks

Huge, huge news, local: HEB just down the street from us -- grand opening Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The iconic Texas grocery story will open at 6:00 a.m. I may camp out overnight. LOL. 

CNBC: yes, I'm back to watching CNBC -- Cramer twice a day -- morning and evening. Right, wrong, or indifferent, he seems to be the only one who is reading about AI.  

AAPL: reading the charts -- near term price target -- $315. Trading at $287 now. Apple is a story; it's under-owned and under-appreciated. General consensus among panel members on "Fast Money," CNBC tonight.

Friend: this past month, sold a house in California for $1.4 million. Bought a similar house in Frisco, Texas, north of DFW, on a golf course, for $400K. Leaves a lot of cash to fill the house with new furniture.  

BRKB: up $5.00 today. Wow. Clearly a lot of folks were sucked in my Greg Abel's presentation. I was tempted to buy but didn't; the deal breaker: no dividend despite $400 billion cash horde.

Lana Del Rey!

  • Rolling Stone: her 50 best songs; link here;
  • how many artists even have 50 songs, much less 50 "best songs" reviewed in Rolling Stone?
