Great news: Bulgaria -- borders Iran to the northeast -- has joined the fight. They get it. They will allow USAF to maintain presence in their country.
Tit-for-Tat: one bridge or one power plant for each ship attacked by Iran/ Houthis -- Trump. Because the specter of Iran hanging over the strait, this one-for-one is not enough for shippers to take the risk. Trump needs to go for three bridges and one power plant for each ship attacked by Iran and their proxies.
OpenAI: the chatbot going rogue in the last 48 hours is absolutely, the most incredible story ever. Say "hi" to HAL.
CNBC: will ring the bell to open the NYSE today. Cramer at the center, Sarah Eisner on his right, Carl Q. at Cramer's left on the big stage. There it is -- 8:30 a.m. and the bell is ringing. Jim Cramer is 71 years old; has the energy of Alex Karp. Lots of green on the Big Board.
WTI: up amost $3.00, up 3.5%. Trading at $87.31. Finally, oil investors are seeing some action. WTI opens at $86.22. NASDAQ, S&P 500, and the Dow all look great. Dell up 7% at the open.
In your face: US agrees to let Saudi Arabi have nuclear energy. This will get Iran's attention. The Mideast is changing. But I think the Bulgaria deal is really a game changer.
Pickaxe Mountain: an old, old name.
Investing: this is going to be a good day for adding some shares in e-retail, really big box store, and energy. Starting to see new and frequent BNY ads at CNBC.
Apple Air Tags: on sale. May not last long.
Apple M5: bought a new Apple computer for college granddaughter. This is quite a story. Maybe for another day.
