Calexas or Catexas? I use to fear Californians streaming to Texas. No more. It's just what we need. Especially in "red" counties.
Jobless claims:
- initial very slightly less than expected: 217,000 vs 218,000 expected
- revision from last week: up a bit
- continuing claims: highest levels since last April, 2023
- pre-market: held, after announcement
Market:
- Dow: longest winning streak in a long, long time
- all three indices "green" pre-market; but NASDAQ is right at flat line;
- Dow moving up before jobless claims announced (early release for some?)
- Dow keeps pushing up in pre-market
WTI: investors have moved from "what could be" ($150) to "what it is" ($75). I simply marvel at these P/Es and dividends (in %)
- DVN: 6.09 / 11.32%
- CVX: 10.59 / 4.24%
- ENB: 30.84 / 7.63%
- EPD: 10.53 / 7.70%
- COP: 12.52 / 3.42%
Personal health: received my RSV vaccination yesterday. Free and 10% off on any grocery purchase, no matter how big.
- side effects: absolutely nothing. I almost forgot to take Tylenol because I had no pain. This morning a very, very, very slight dull pain in upper arm in region of injection.
- so, this autumn: Covid-19 #5; "seasonal flu"; and, now RSV (a one-time injection)
- one last vaccine and then I'm all caught up: tetanus
California: talk of new mask mandates; in place in San Francisco hospitals; Los Angeles considering.
Personal investing:
- will be adding more NVDA today
