Apple ecosystem lock-in remains strong
Apple built an ecosystem and services business that locks users into recurring payments for photos, music, and cloud access, making the iPhone indispensable and supporting Apple's durability even as Tim Cook hands over to John Ternus.

Oil majors' profits fair; buybacks reward shareholders.
Chevron and Exxon are making reasonable profit margins (Exxon ~8.8%) and have been operating refineries at 96-98% capacity to keep fuel prices from spiking higher during the Middle East war. Capitalism rewards shareholders who risk capital, and these companies return cash through buybacks and dividends. Political attacks on their profits ignore how vital they are to energy stability, and any pushback that causes them to slow production would harm consumers.

Intel benefits from AI chip demand.
Intel's blowout quarter, with revenue and earnings significantly above expectations and strong data center growth, suggests that the company is benefiting from surging AI-driven demand for chips, including chips previously written off. The stock is already up over 80% year-to-date and indicated up 28% on the earnings, and Joe Kernen predicts Intel will continue to rise above 400 billion market cap.
