I have just compiled a list of ten financial websites that are worth reading, and Motley Fool is not one of them.

Yes, there's something very wrong about an investment site with the word "Fool" in it. Does it imply that the owners of the site are fools or that the person using the site is a fool. Or maybe both. Maybe, "A fool and his money are soon parted" applies.

Todays pre-market is green at about +.60%. Hopefully this will carry into the trading day.

Maybe, "A fool and his money are soon parted" applies. Their premise was being the jester that could say anything while the rest of the kingdom had to respect the top and keep tight lipped, like "the emperor and his new clothes". But even if they were calling themselves fools, sometimes being self-deprecating or at least acknowledging your faults or blind spots has its advantages. We're watching Ted Lasso, and he did a great job of that at the start of Season 3. That, and the advice to "just let that stuff float on by". It's been a fun show. Different, and sometimes tough to understand the accents, but pretty entertaining while also a reminder that the initial worries of Apple TV+ created shows and movies could be too....Disneyish? We don't watch too much TV these days, spending plenty of screen time in other ways while also just having less free time. So it is fun once in a while to find something we enjoy watching.

The After Party on Apple+ is also very well done. Murder mystery comedy that’s very creative.

Lots of selling at the close across the board, AAPL sits right at the gap fill point. Maybe tomorrow fill the gap and then a temporary reversal, why not?

I had to turn on the captions to understand it at times. That makes me feel a little better. We just bought a new stereo, and we’re still trying to lock it in to a good setup. It’s working ok on this show, but I can’t understand it all. Bugger!
