Predicting War’s End. More endless hate. Think cyberattacks.
They will soon have a new Supreme Leader, the son of the one we killed.
The new guy will not love us. We just killed his father, his wife, his son and other members of his family.
Reuters says he has opposed reformers seeking to engage with West. …
We will eventually stop bombing. We’ll restock our stock of bombs, missiles and drones.
They will, too. Ready for the next go-around.
And on and on it goes. Another 50 years of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.” But, sadly, no “Long Live Iran.”
For us, there’ll be more cyberattacks, less computer safety. The Iranians are really good at cybernasties. Really good. Your business should be protected. Think Palo Alto Networks, Cloudflare and CrowdStrike. (There are others.)
Think saving regularly. Think ScanDisk flash drives to protect your laptop’s stuff.
As a second choice, go with the cloud. But don’t trust anything you can’t hold in your very own hand.
I prefer a backup laptop ready to go when your main one is hacked and dies. As it will.
Professions that existed before AI
I”m guessing all these people got another job — delivering milk, or delivering ice they sawed from large blocks hauled down from Canada.
I’m not being cute (well, I really am).
Tomorrow I’ll tell you of the incredible value I’m finding with AI.
When I burble (endlessly) to Susan about my AI medical stuff, she retorts that “I’ve fallen down the AI Rabbit Hole.“
She’s right. It’s exhilarating.
This is actually a very good book
Trust me. Everyone should read this book. Your children. Their children.
Cramer’s basic pitch: Everyone should invest and not only in ETFs, but individual stocks. If you do build a portfolio, you will enjoy amazing long-term gains. He has the stats to prove that.
The book has three sections: Trust the Market, Build your portfolio and What makes a hero stock (e.g. Nvidia).
I read every word in the book. For someone like me, who’s been at this game for over 25 years and writing this investment blog for almost as long, reading every word is an strong compliment.
The book is not the Cramer of TV. It’s not the madness and freneticsm of the gong board. I still watch him. I forgive the various antics, which are undoubtedly necessary to keep a TV audience (like me) awake.
Cramer and I are always looking the next hero stock. He found FANG (which he named), the Magnificent Seven and others.
Like him, I’ve diversified into data center stocks like GLW, MU and SNDK. You can see my list in the right hand column on my website. You can see Cramer’s via his investing club which you have to join and pay money. (Mine is free.)
I do watch his Mad Money TV show. I recognize it’s a TV show and he has to fill an hour. Sometimes he doesn’t find the next Nvidia (it’s hard). As a viewer, you have listen carefully. Sometimes he finds a gem. But he’s not sure. That’s your job. Figure what you like and go buy some.
The problem with a long marriage
Susan and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary on July 24.
Which is mindblowing to think I’ve been married to the same person for half a century.
There’s yin and yang.
Yin: I have to think of new jokes. That’s really hard. The old ones are so good and so deliciously tasteless.
Yang: We never argue, of course..Recently, I asked Susan if she wanted a divorce:
Her reply: “Nah. It’s too late.“
Today’s begins my search for the most tasteless 50th Anniversary present.
For only $149.95, I can buy a “Custom Couple Bobblehead.“
Give them a photo. They make your very own bobblehead, click here.
See you shortly. — Harry Newton
