Wednesday, July 9

Friends, I deeply apologize but I’ve had tech issues with my key desktop since last Wednesday.  Only after I spent $100s on updating my laptop, the backup, was I able to keep posting columns.  But I am not attempting to do videos on the laptop.  Sorry.

I also haven’t been able to get a legitimate tech expert into my home, but finally will on Saturday.  I pray he comes up with the solution.  I have internet, or I wouldn’t be writing my columns.  It’s the connection with the desktop that suddenly went bad and I have tried everything after talking to some real people in the know…but they can’t easily help in person.  [Yes, I unplugged everything multiple times, and bought a new ethernet cable…you name it.]

So I hope to resume the videos, I hesitate to call them podcasts, next Monday.  Plan B was upgrading the laptop to keep working.  Plan C is a new desktop arrangement, and I actually had the foresight to buy a spare terminal during Covid.

For now, here’s a market update for today, Wednesday, July 9.

Dow Jones…+217 (0.5%)…44458
S&P 500…+37 (0.6%)…6263
Nasdaq…+192 (0.9%)…20611…new record

Oil (WTI)…$68.24
Gold …$3324
Bitcoin…$111,723

10-year Treasury…4.34%

I’ll do the same Thursday and Friday.
