My two biggest holdings (and hence, biggest recommendations) — Amazon and Square — did magic today.
Amazon leapt (leaped?) $40, nearing $2,000 again.
Amazon is my biggest holding. It’s done well. Here’s the past two years:
I think it’s going higher, much higher.
This afternoon I emailed Jeff Bezos begging him to make an Alexa powered TV remote. I’m sick of searching for my remote, when all I want is to mute the irksome ads.
In celebration of Alexa, please play this:
Square (SQ) just got upgraded by everybody and their uncle — on TV and off TV. Everyone argued Square was disrupting the finance biz.
It’s also done super-well over the last two years:
In the world of Square-fawners, this is one of the better pieces. It’s from Fast Company.

An essay on dentistry.
Years ago, my #7 tooth rotted. We did a root canal, inserted a metal post and built a new tooth on top. Last week the metal post broke and my mouth looked like this. A homeless person with a broken front tooth.
You can see the broken metal post still in the dead tooth’s root:
Yesterday Dr Jonathan Berkowitz removed the remains of the tooth — in one piece (a true miracle) — and replaced it with a 4 mm wide x 11 mm long titanium implant. It now looks like this:
The implant sports a metal cap, which Dr Berkowitz will remove and mould onto it a new tooth on a post, which will screw into the implant. My new tooth will then be gleaming for all to see and admire. This process will take another six months as my jaw gets fooled into believing the implant is bone, not titanium.
Ain’t science. wonderful?
And now for some good news:
