From Chesto at the The Boston Globe:
Amazon claims title of most valuable US public company: The e-commerce giant hit $797 billion in market value, overtaking Microsoft.
Wow, how far has APPL has fallen?
We have three Echo Dots/Alexa -- Amazon is on a roll. Amazon, under-promising, over delivering. Apple, over-promising, under-delivering.

ISO New England,

ABC Nightly News reports major storm system to hit New England. It will be interesting to see how ISO New England fares.
Spot prices in ISO New England spike above $200/MW at 8:00 a.m. this morning.
Jet fuel getting expensive, also.
Link here.
Jet fuel differentials on the US Atlantic Coast climbed to their highest levels in 16 months Monday as stock levels in the region continue to sag.
Global Platts assessed jet barrels on Buckeye Pipeline in New York Harbor at the NYMEX February ULSD futures contract plus 13 cents/gal. That was up 4 cents from Friday and highest since it reached plus 14.50 cents/gal on September 7, 2017.
USAC jet fuel inventories fell 656,000 barrels to 8.29 million barrels, according to the latest US Energy Information Administration data. That was down just over a million barrels from the same period last year.
Think about this: in the latest EIA petroleum report --
- there's a glut of oil
- there's a glut of gasoline
- refineries are operating almost at full capacity -- at over 97%
- and, there a jet fuel supply issue.
What does that tell you about jet fuel demand over the holidays?
