BRK our sister stock is moving to the trillion dollar stratosphere. I suggested the stock a while ago. It has had a meteoric rise. 300-390+ in less than a year. These mideast wars could drive up oil and help his Occidental Petroleum stock. Stong uptrend so selling covered calls a put can make a little hay while that sun is shining. Medical uses and defense for the goggles seem to be unlimited.

Vision Pro report, day 4--
I never appreciated panorama iPhone photos before. The Vision Pro Photos App converts them to immersive scenes that make all the strange deformations and pinch, zoom, scrolling and squinting of looking at them on a phone or iPad, and surrounds you in ways that astound. I'vew only ever taken around 50 panoramas, but I looked at all of them (they are kept in a separate album on the AVP). They stretch around you, closer, larger, and you pan your head and eyes to take them in, just like it was when you decided to take a panorama photo in the first place. Truly transportive, I didn't really expect that. Also, I installed Vision OS 1.1 Beta just a bit ago. So far, it greets you with a chance to re-do your Persona avatar. The old version was impressive, this new version is noticeably more detailed and looks a lot more like myself.
I also noticed that the main window you are engaged with follows you around if you get up and go to the kitchen from the living room, for instance. You think you are leaving the window behind (as it was in 1.0, locked where you left it. But if you stop moving for a second, the window reappears in front of you, as you move about. Very cool. In my case, I was waiting for the Persona app to confabulate my new digital being (takes a minute), so I went to get more coffee and always had the screen within site.
I'm not sure what else is in the 2.1 Beta. Going back in.

Nice to see AAPL hook upwards in those last 20 minutes.
I thought the big movements in the last 10-20 minutes were often due to mutual funds. I would have thought that the slow but steady move to ETFs would shrink that change, with purchases happening near instantly. Does anyone have insight on that?
Switching over to AVP, 5-6 of the 12 closest stores show availability of each level, with 1-2 stores even having availability today. I'd kinda like to know how many they have sold, but at the same time I understand that competitors might want that info too. Maybe they can give some download or purchase data for AVP app specific things? 1M AVP apps downloaded? 5M?
But the biggest thing is having a good solid long term launch of a new product, and that is a multi-year project to push the hardware, software, apps, and consumer mindset. So I guess like most things, we'll eventually see what happens.

A lot of retirement plans like 401k/403b can’t trade ETFs so there is still a lot of mutual fund trading I’d think. I know in my 401k I can only do mutual funds and other things like that, no good ETF choices and of course sadly no direct stock choices. Nice to see AAPL hook upwards in those last 20 minutes.

[/quote] I’ve had similar experience during my working life with 401 k funds, no individual stock option. This was after the iPhone release and became a no brainer investment in though. I’d withdraw and borrow the maximum amount and invest it ( ) and pay it back over time with automatic withdrawals from the paycheck interest free. I accumulated a lot of stock that way Later after 59 1/2 I’d withdraw all the profit sharing funds the first of the year and dump that money in .
