Good morning. The pre-market trading is at +0.31% at this moment. Do we continue yesterday’s rally?
This week’s market will be centered around the Federal chairman Powell’s testimony to congress, where every word will be analyzed and weighed. Anything is possible.

Everything down or 90%. Pretty funny that Intel wants a 6 billion tax credit or grant from Germany I think. The arrogance of these "capitalists" is amusing. Intel had a monopoly for many years. Now they can't compete.
Many of my friends don't upgrade because it is annoying to see things you actually use no longer work after an upgrade so called. Adobe and MSFT leveraged upgrades from OS for multibillions of dollars. Nikon's lenses that are manual will still work with their new SLR's/ It is possible that these upgrades so called do not need to disable programs in use until you upgrade them at a cost.

Whenever we have a day/week/month/year like we've had since *very* early 2022, I'm thankful my wife and I decided years ago to invest for the long term and not try to anticipate/time the market. Take today for example. I can't imagine wanting to risk investing based on the overall economy, Fed, whatever. For those who love it and can be successful, more power to them. This is a chart I've posed previously, showing the 6 stocks as of last Friday's close. Note that, as of this moment, the 6 stocks are pretty much where they were on 03/03/23. That being said, I'm still pleased that AAPL is closer to regaining their 01/03/22 value than the other 5, IMO. Sure, the slope is not as good(steep) as that of TSLA, but AAPL is still closer to regaining their losses from last year...I'm fine with that.

It is really annoying that Apple throws these new features at your face. So don’t upgrade right away. Clearly, if you have had bad experiences with upgrades, perhaps it would make sense to monitor what is reported for a while (there is always extensive coverage of the initial results right here at AFB and elsewhere). Remember, every release gets applied to a worldwide variety of iPhone models and iOS versions, and the many combinations thereof. I am not sure what you mean by “throws these new features at your face.” There is always reporting about what the new features are in any release, along with reviews focused on the initial results seen by early upgraders, and often followed by a release specifically targeted at reported problems. It often pays to wait to see what early problems arise and wait for solutions to be made available. I had a 40 year career in software, and new releases are where the rubber meets the road. No matter how much testing is done, there is no way to replicate the incredible number of hardware/software combinations found “in the wild,” so to speak, especially for a product with the worldwide distribution of iPhone/iOS.

With the iPad which I use more than my phone new features clutter up the space. They appear for no reason. I don't ask for them and they do not benefit me. I don't need 3 screens of safari open on an iPad or when I am reading I dont need to touch the side and have anew window magically appear. These are really bad features. The Mail on the iPad has all these little icons on the bottom of prospective or different windows; not needed. etc. The iPad has gone the way of Office 6.

Well to further stir up the pot on new features, I was just on Apple Music, and they are finally adding Apple Music Classical at the end of March. Oh, the horror.
