- I click on the Apple News Economy headlines, and the first article that comes up is from Yahoo Finance, “Quietest in 20 years: Truckers feel chill of slowing US economy.” Do bull markets end when everyone is telling us how bad the economy is? Uh, I don’t think so... I’d expect to see lots of euphoria and speculation. Doesn’t have to be that way, but still... Lots of pessimism in the headlines.
- Apple is set to release their first 5G iPhones in 2020. Whether or not consumers will get 5G service outside of a 3 block radius in a few US cities is unknown at this time. But I hear it’s really, really fast!
- I watched a YouTube video of a demo of the new Oculus Rift virtual reality game system. Let’s just say it was no Striking Vipers. (Black Mirror reference ... It’s a joke!)
- I heard Toy Story 4 was pretty good, but CNN says the movie didn’t top Disney’s high expectations. The movie made $238 million worldwide, and $118 here in the US. Seems like a lot. I mean, it’s more than I made this weekend. You?
- I’m not sure how many bad things have to happen before people cancel their vacation plans to the Dominican Republic, but we’ve got to be getting close.
- Shaq has never had coffee? What?
- If I had to pick the likely winner from the field of Democratic hopefuls, I’m thinking it’s going to be Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren. I don’t think Biden or Bernie are going to be there. First debates this week, right? I expect a lot of Trump bashing!
- Hope you had a great weekend. First official weekend of summer, you know.
