For those who enjoy TA GOOGL filled the enormous jump up earnings gap today. This should mark the bottom of this short term pull back if the market is healthy. Big tech save FB had great earnings so maybe a "mega" day is due for them. Tomorrow might be good. Looks like duckpins made a good call, based on PM. Let's hope it continues through the day.

New references to "realityOS," the AR/VR operating system that will run Apple's rumored mixed reality headset, have been found in App Store upload logs and Apple open source code this morning. linkVia MacRumors.

Those look remarkably like ski goggles.
Watching the Olympics, the ad from Salesforce with Matthew McConaughey (first hit for "hot air balloon ad olympics") hit the public sentiment right on. It's like "shop local", but on a global position. Focus on the needs here, on earth, first. I personally like seeing the edge case spending on space, more-so with a real mission than just space tourism making it into orbit for a few minutes, but it doesn't matter too much. Aside from spending all that energy to launch something and have it come back, but that's more a net energy balance with the planet, spending some that has previously been condensed (oil, etc, even if going with rocket fuel) and burning it up, thus releasing it's components).
Anyways, in one part they show a bunch of people walking along, with vr glasses on.
vr/ar is going to have some challenges there, but the switchover to a stylish pair of sun glasses is easier than the step forward to contact lens integration.
The market seems a little punchy today. Not a huge lift for AAPL, but green is good. I bought a little something, speculatively. And the indexes are moving up. It just all depends on some of the underlyers now, like if expected rate increases come at a rate people consider suitable to the situation, if Covid continues to work in the direction it's looking, and how Russia/Ukraine works out. There's always unknowns.

Those look remarkably like ski goggles. They don't look at all realistic to me. Where is the battery pack? And for that matter, where are the processors and support devices? While 2 M1s are still quite efficient, they * still* consume reasonable power during heavy graphics processing. I remember when people complained about NASA spending money on space exploration. So we let NASA wither. Now people complain about super-wealthy folks spending money on space exploration. I can only conclude that people like to complain. I remember, in 2007 or 2008, a heated style discussion about "block" phones with an ugly thick piece of glass on the front versus sexy flip phones that follow the contour of your face while open. We all know how that ended. I sold some puts during trading right before earnings, and I really thought that there was a chance that the stock (and market overall) would begin a protracted (well, "protracted" in 2022 parlance, a few weeks at most) drop, and that I might actually get the shares put to me on dividend day, but at a lower overall price. For the last few years, that's how I made all my purchases of stock ... by selling puts. I found that I get a lower average price that way. Of course it hasn't really worked out for the last few years, because they always expire worthless and I don't get any stock.

Judging just on the short run market performance today, I'd say more folks are still voting, not weighing. GME up +15.28%? Give me a break. 😎 “In the short run, the market is a voting machine but in the long run it is a weighing machine.” - Benjamin Graham

It is gone. I am glad you have done well, as have I. AAPL has a very long run ahead of it, mainly because the culture, Tim et al are not Qtr to Qtr thinkers. Tim and upper management are on ten year cycles in planning. Slow, methodological plans. Bon Chance
