Nvidia is coming back. Thank you Harry. Get registered to vote. Here’s how. Do’s and Don’t that will save you money and aggravation.

Nvidia is roaring back.

Which just proves it’s impossible to time the market.

See the highs and the dips on the chart.

Only my brilliant son Michael is intelligent enough to time the market.

He didn’t get that intelligence from me. I’m hopeless.

Want to have fun? Ask Perplexity how many dog catchers there are in the United States today. Her answer gives vagueness whole new meaning.

Advices and Watch outs

+ Microsoft is still trying to sneak Windows 11 onto my laptop. Their enticement:

And the small print warning:

PC Magazine reports today 79 Security flaws in Windows 11.

Follow Newton’s First Rule of Life: If it works, don’t mess with it.

+ Covid is rampant on planes and buses. Please wear a mask. You should get the new Covid vaccine. I got mine at CVS. Sign for your appointment at www.CVS.com.

+ Friends are falling. Yet another reason to buy the new Apple Watch Series 10, in addition to all the other health benefits, it will call 911 when you fall.

+ Watch for that last step going down.

+ Melatonin Products Are often mislabeled. Another reason You can’t trust that the ingredients will match the label.  Hence, I don’t like dietary supplements.

+ You got to be crazy to heave cash in your bank. Most banks are paying next to nothing. The best place for your cash is a money market fund (like SPAXX) or 3 month treasuries — paying 5.04% this morning.

+ Google Chrome browser is really improving. Its searches are much better, obviously powered by AI. And Crl P makes a great PDF of the web site you’re reading. Super great freature.

+ Thomas’ English buttermilk muffins are really good. Much better than the originals.

+ Every tax collector — from the IRS to the NY State — will lose your returns. Solution: Keep PDFs on hand so you can print out yet another copy. The IRS seems to have more offices than Carter had liver pills. One office doesn’t seem to speak to the other.

+ The Logitech 925e webcam is wonderful. Only $33 renewed from Amazon. Click here.

+ Stay away from Temu, the Chinese Amazon. You won’t be happy with the service or the quality.

+ Do not invest in any private funds from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, StepStone, the likes. You end up in an endless fund which produces little return but oodles of paperwork. One of my Goldman’s “ten-year” funds , now going on 18-years, just produced a loss of $66 for my New York State return, but a pile of paper that’s a quarter of an inch thick.  just I am happy to explain more if you send me an email.

Stay away from processed foods

The Director of Nutritional, Lifestyle, and Metabolic Psychiatry at Harvard, said  “I see patients reduce symptoms of mood disorders, lower their stressboost their energy and alleviate cognitive impairments when they cut ultra-processed foods out of their diets and replace them with unprocessed, nutrient-dense alternatives.

“Some of the most popular and widely consumed ultra-processed foods are breakfast cereals; snacks like chips, cookies, and crackers; salad dressings; many condiments; sugar-sweetened beverages; and commercial frozen dinners.

You must watch this

It’s hysterical. The funniest comments by a late night host.

That’s it. Make sure you watch Jim Kimmel full-screen on a laptop with decent earphones.

I’ll be back later. You are allowed to send me a “Thank You” for Nvidia, up another 3% today.

I’m off to play tennis. Weather in Columbia County, NY is beyond perfect.
