Had I got NVDA right, I would have been insufferable.<\/p>\n

One kind reader said it was OK. Bernard Baruch had once said “I made all my money selling too soon.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

I certainly did that. Fortunately I caulked up a handsome profit on all the Nvidia I sold. (I didn’t sell all. I kept a handful.)<\/p>\n

In the last few days I’ve bought all my Nvidia back — some now at a loss (compared to where\u00a0 NVDA opened today).<\/p>\n

Others pointed out that no one went broke by taking a profit.<\/p>\n

Some asked, “Why apologize? We all know the situation. We’ve all been there. Stuff happens. Move on.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Nvidia is obviously in a bubble — a nice AI bubble. And that AI is morphing over to a handful of stocks, including SMCI which I’ve recommended (and didn’t sell).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I’ll you run through some of the latest reasons for the AI bubble.<\/p>\n

Another bubble? I’m feeling very positive about VR — virtual reality. I’ve been playing with a Meta’s Oculus VR headset. I’m not impressed with the metaverse but I am impressed with the practical teaching\/learning uses of these remarkable headsets.<\/p>\n

More about that tomorrow.\u00a0 I have to get out and hit a tennis ball. Today is another one of those nicest days of the year.<\/p>\n

My favorite email<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It goes on to say “\u00a0I will provide detailed instructions. We will share $9 Million US 50% each. Please reply for more details.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, why do I know this is a scam? Not because of the $9 million. I deserve the nine million.<\/p>\n

But, hey, look at the sender’s email address.<\/p>\n

Semi-useful stuff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

+ The French Open has started. Some of the matches are nail-biting, including yesterday’s Monfils match. I am in love with Iga. She’s Polish. My grandparents were Polish.<\/p>\n

+ I will never ever give a nickel to a political campaign. They give my email address to politicians I’ve near heard of and never want to hear from. Then, no matter how hard I try, I can never<\/strong> unsubscribe. Worst is Mr. Trump. Saving grace: His emails are fun and his insults amusing. But you can’t get off that mailing list.<\/p>\n

+ The best app for your iPhone is now:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Type or dictate (via Siri) some words. Bingo it sends you an email and\/or a photo. Simple as pie and twice as useful. It’s replaces Captio which is no longer available on the AppStore. (I don’t know why. But I still use it.)<\/p>\n

+ The most reliable, cheapest, easiest-to-use air conditioning are window units. When they break, you chuck them out and buy another unit. Much, much cheaper than central air. A few hundred dollars. A no-brainer.<\/p>\n

+ If you’re building a house, make sure some of your windows will accommodate window air conditioners.<\/p>\n

Remembering 37,000 Mass residents<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They died in all the wars from the Revolution to today. An emotional photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fun stuff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one is the best. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Play it. It’s short.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now we have a water leak in the basement. After 15 years, houses, tend to develop “issues.” We have issues. Lots of issues. Yuch.<\/p>\n

See you when I’ve finished bailing. —\u00a0 Harry Newton<\/em><\/p>\n
