Roosevelt Library in the Badlands. This is a reflection of the Badlands on the grand piano.
Global warming: this tells me all I need to know. The EU is more concerned about European AI than saving the earth. Whatever. And "taxing" Apple and Microsoft.

AAPL Hits An All-Time High -- Up Over $12 / Share -- Market Open -- July 15, 2026
Locator: 51178AAPL.
Tag: BRKB AAPL
Updates
Argentina, 2 - England, 1. Is that correct? Does anyone care?
Later, market close: AAPL closes at an all-time high -- on the very day one of the analysts downgraded AAPL as a sell. What a doofus.
I liked Mr Larry Fink on CNBC today with Jim Cramer. Mr Fink said he was not concerned about today or even this week. He was looking much farther into the future. I am, too. That's why I bought a software company -- one of the Mag 7 -- that sold off today. No, not Apple. I already forgot which one I bought. Bought it for the twins. They're six years old now. My emotions are affected by the market on a daily basis; my rational self is affected by what I think will be in 30 years. I'm happy some days; upset other days. But if I'm upset with my 30-year plan, I shouldn't be investing on my own.
Later, 12:52 p.m.: today's market suggests either the Mideast a) has become irrelevant to most investors; and/or, b) investors are quite "okay" with how the administration is "managing" a difficult situation. It is obvious that this "adventure" is incredibly important. We will never know how important this "adventure" is/was. For past presidents who say otherwise, they are either disingenuous (political) and/or incredibly naive.
Later, 12:44 p.m.: buying opportunity. So far, AAPL is not yet on the list below.
Original Post
The NY loophole with regard to new LDCs:
Mideast: despite more US strikes on Iran just as the market opens, the market surged. I'm sure President Trump is watching.
Up again:
Down again: this was at the open; since then, BRKB has turned up, to the green. Whoo-hoo!
Holy mackerel: as usual, Dan Nathan, CNBC was negative on AAPL again yesterday.
OpenAI's First Hardware? July 15, 2026
Locator: 51177APPLE.
Gemini query: OpenAI says its first hardware will be a household smart speaker. It sounds like a household hub and takes us back to our earlier discussion regarding Fox buying Roku. Do others see it that way? Link here.
Reply (note the mistake):
For me, this is a huge acknowledgement that OpenAI did not want to take on the iPhone. That speaks volumes.

Tucker Carlson
I read a lot but not enough.
I remember listening to Tucker Carlson some years ago. I haven't listened to him since. I occasionally see a reference to him in the mainstream media. But I haven't seen him or heard him in years. I "know" he and President Trump have parted ways.
I assume President Trump is the "winner" in this breakup.
By the way, speaking of President Trump, I understand he is pulling US troops out of Iraq. By September 30, 2026. Links everywhere. Destination for these troops? Kharg Island?
Is it my imagination or do others outside his cult see him fading away?
