They Only Serve Themselves

“ The Kremlin ” poisoned their “ fierce rival ” Navalny with the infamous deadly agent novichok .

How does the alleged poisoning of a two-bit ( 2 % in the polls ) Russian “ politician ” link to NATO ?
Is Navalny himself linked to NATO ?

How much does the CIA pay Navalny anyway ?

The news outlets must be thinking that at least after the Skripal case, enough people will recognize the term, and let’s not confuse them.
The Germans claim they have “unequivocal proof” (eindeutiger Beweis) for this. While the Russian doctors who initially treated Navalny after he fell ill on a flight from Tomsk to Omsk (or was that the other way around?!) said he showed zero signs of poisoning. But yeah, they’re Russians, so they can’t be trusted, right? They all squander their Hippocratic oaths at the feet of the great malevolent dictator Trump Putin. You’re familiar with the parable about “all Cretans lie”?
“Merkel spokesman Seibert said the German government will inform its partners in the European Union and NATO about the test results..” NATO? What do they have to do with anything? How does the alleged poisoning of a two-bit (2% in the polls) Russian “politician” link to NATO? Is Navalny himself linked to NATO? Where does NATO come in to the conversation? How much does the CIA pay Navalny anyway?
The thing, the problem, is that it makes no difference anymore even if this particular instance has a kernel of truth in it.

It is of vital importance for two parties -which might as well be one- in the west to keep accusing Russia of all manner of issues, while knowing full well they will never answer (though, remember Concord Asset Management, Robert Mueller III?), which means you can say whatever you want. It’s a free for all. The two parties are intelligence and NATO.
Western nations, and that means all of them, all the self-congratulating “democracies”, are being blackmailed by their own -secret- intelligence services, which most often pose as “national security services”, and they find they have no way out. In most countries, the best before date of a politician, even the political system itself, is way shorter than that of an intelligence agency’s agenda. The only thing a newly elected politician can do is accept a secret service’s word at face value, and define policy accordingly.
Be it domestic, bi-lateral vs particular countries, or global. The policies have already been defined years ago, and they have been defined by unelected “spooks”, not elected representatives of the people. This is incredibly (and I don’t use that word lightly) damaging to all of our societies, and we need to call a halt to it. But how do you do that? When they are the ones making policy, and not the people we vote into office to do that for us? It’s certainly not an easy task, but we can’t let them continue either. That would only mean assured destruction, economic depression and, ultimately, war.

That’s how and why we get the Navalny and Skripal stories. This goes back to at least WWII. US intelligence and the Wolfowitz/Brzezinski/Leo Strauss/Kissinger neocon cabal have severely compromised US national security for decades, only to funnel trillions towards US arms manufacturers, who today produce second rate weapons to boot. It is high time to stop this. Security is much better served by dialogue. Or should I say ”arguably?”
What the Navalny story, lacking evidence as much as so many other narratives, should tell us is that we are sort of hostages to a Ghost of Christmas past. We are being blackmailed as we speak by secret agents in cohort with the very military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about, because they all need to keep a long lost dream alive in order to still appear relevant and chuck trillions out of our pockets.
It’s a scam, it’s blackmail. Russia is not about to attack you.

Our spooks invent Skripal and MH17 and Navalny and Russia collusion and prostitutes peeing on beds in Moscow.

France decides to Spend! Spend! Spend!

Yesterday brought something that was both new and familiar from France .
The new part is a substantial extra fiscal stimulus .
The familiar is that France as regular readers will be aware had been pushing the boundaries of the Euro area fiscal rules anyway , This is something which has led to friction with Italy which has come under fire for its fiscal position .
Whereas France pretty much escaped it in spite of having its nose pressed against the Growth and Stability Pact limit of 3 % of Gross Domestic Product for the fiscal deficit .
Actually that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from a lifetime ago although those who have argued that it gets abandoned when it suits France and Germany are no doubt having a wry smile .
Here is a translation of President Macron ’ s words .
So the headline is 100 billion Euros which is a tidy sum even in these inflated times for such matters .
Also you will no doubt have spotted that he is trying to present something of a windfall from the European Union which is nothing of the sort .
The money will simply be borrowed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is something of a sleight of hand .
One thing we can agree on is the French enthusiasm for fiscal policy , although of course they have been rather less enthusiatic in the past about such policies from some of their Euro area partners .
There are three components to this .
As well as a green agenda there is a plan to boost business which involves 35 billion Euros of which the main component is below .
That is an interesting strategy at a time of a soaring fiscal deficit to day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ecology and competitiveness which seems to favour big business .
Those who have followed French history may enjoy this reference from Le Monde .
The remaining 35 billion Euros is to go into what is described as public cohesion which is supporting jobs and health .
In fact the jobs target is ambitious .
Is it necessary ?
I suspect Monsieur Le Maire is a Beatles fan and of this in particular .
Of course things have got worse as he has told us they have got better .
Something he may have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of faith in PMi numbers but even so there is an issue as I do not know if there is a French equivalent of “ shovel ready ” ?
But construction is a tap that fiscal policy can influence relatively quickly and there seems to be no sign of that at all .
Indeed the total PMI picture was disappointing .
So the data seems to be more in line with the view expressed below .
Where are the Public Finances ?
According to the Trading Economics this is this mornings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spending has missed out debt costs .
As of the end of June the public debt was 1.992 trillion Euros .
I have avoided being to specific about the size of the contraction of the economy and hence numbers like debt to GDP .
There are several reasons for this .
One is simply that we do not know them and also we do not know how much of the contraction will be temporary and how much permanent ?
We return to part of yesterday ’ s post and France will be saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ various QE bond purchase programmes mean that France has a benchmark ten-year yield of -0.18 % and even long-term borrowing is cheap as it estimates it will pay 0.57 % for some 40 year debt on Monday .

Yesterday brought something that was both new and familiar from France. The new part is a substantial extra fiscal stimulus. The familiar is that France as regular readers will be aware had been pushing the boundaries of the Euro area fiscal rules anyway, This is something which has led to friction with Italy which has come under fire for its fiscal position. Whereas France pretty much escaped it in spite of having its nose pressed against the Growth and Stability Pact limit of 3% of Gross Domestic Product for the fiscal deficit. Actually that Pact already feels as if it is from a lifetime ago although those who have argued that it gets abandoned when it suits France and Germany are no doubt having a wry smile.
The Details
Here is a translation of President Macron’s words.
We are now entering a new phase: that of recovery and reconstruction. To overcome the most important in our modern history, to prevent the cancer of mass unemployment from setting in, which unfortunately our country has suffered too long, today we decide to invest massively. 100 billion, of which 40 billion comes from financing obtained hard from the European Union, will thus be injected into the economy in the coming months. It is an unprecedented amount which, in relation to our national wealth, makes the French plan one of the most ambitious.
So the headline is 100 billion Euros which is a tidy sum even in these inflated times for such matters. Also you will no doubt have spotted that he is trying to present something of a windfall from the European Union which is nothing of the sort. The money will simply be borrowed collectively rather than individually. So it is something of a sleight of hand. One thing we can agree on is the French enthusiasm for fiscal policy, although of course they have been rather less enthusiatic in the past about such policies from some of their Euro area partners.
There are three components to this.
Out of 100 billion euros, 30 billion are intended to finance the ecological transition.
As well as a green agenda there is a plan to boost business which involves 35 billion Euros of which the main component is below.
As part of the recovery plan, production taxes will be reduced by € 10bn from January 1, 2021, and by sustainable way. It is therefore € 20bn in tax cuts of production over 2021–2022.
That is an interesting strategy at a time of a soaring fiscal deficit to day the least. So far we have ecology and competitiveness which seems to favour big business. Those who have followed French history may enjoy this reference from Le Monde.
With an approach that smacks of industrial Colbertism
The remaining 35 billion Euros is to go into what is described as public cohesion which is supporting jobs and health. In fact the jobs target is ambitious.
According to the French government, the plan will help the economy make up for the coronavirus-related loss of GDP by the end of 2022, and help create 160,000 new jobs next year. ( MarketWatch)
Is it necessary?
PARIS (Reuters) – French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire believes that the French economy could perform better than currently forecast this year, he said on Friday. “I think we will do better in 2020 than the 11% recession forecast at the moment,” Le Maire told BFM TV.
I suspect Monsieur Le Maire is a Beatles fan and of this in particular.
It’s getting better
Since you’ve been mine
Getting so much better all the time!
Of course things have got worse as he has told us they have got better. Something he may have repeated this morning.
August PMI® data pointed to the sharpest contraction in French construction activity for three months……….At the sub-sector level, the decrease in activity was broad based. Work undertaken on commercial projects fell at the
quickest pace since May, and there was a fresh decline in civil engineering activity after signs of recovery in June and July. Home building activity contracted for the sixth month running, although the rate of decrease was softer than in July. ( Markit)
We have lost a lot of faith in PMi numbers but even so there is an issue as I do not know if there is a French equivalent of “shovel ready”? But construction is a tap that fiscal policy can influence relatively quickly and there seems to be no sign of that at all.
We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!
Indeed the total PMI picture was disappointing.
“The latest PMI data came as a disappointment
following the sharp rise in private sector activity seen
during July, which had spurred hopes that the French
economy could undergo a swift recovery towards precoronavirus levels of output. However, with activity
growth easing considerably in the latest survey period,
those hopes have been dashed…”
So the data seems to be more in line with the view expressed below.
It is designed to try to “avoid an economic collapse,” French Prime Minister Jean Castex said on Thursday. ( MarketWatch)
Where are the Public Finances?
According to the Trading Economics this is this mornings update.
France’s government budget deficit widened to EUR 151 billion in the first seven months of 2020 from EUR 109.7 billion a year earlier, amid efforts to support the economy hit by the coronavirus crisis. Government spending jumped 10.4 percent from a year earlier to EUR 269.3 billion, while revenues went down 6.3 percent to EUR 142.25 billion
I think their definition of spending has missed out debt costs.
As of the end of June the public debt was 1.992 trillion Euros.
Comment
I have avoided being to specific about the size of the contraction of the economy and hence numbers like debt to GDP. There are several reasons for this. One is simply that we do not know them and also we do not know how much of the contraction will be temporary and how much permanent? We return to part of yesterday’s post and France will be saying Merci Madame Lagarde with passion. The various QE bond purchase programmes mean that France has a benchmark ten-year yield of -0.18% and even long-term borrowing is cheap as it estimates it will pay 0.57% for some 40 year debt on Monday. That’s what you get when you buy 473 billion Euros of something and that is just the original emergency programme or PSPP and not the new emergency programme or PEPP. On that road the European Union fund is pure PR as it ends up at the ECB anyway.
The Bank of France has looked at the chances of a rebound and if we look at unemployment and it looks rather ominous.
However, the speed of the recovery in the coming months and years is more uncertain, as is the peak in the unemployment rate, which the Banque de France forecasts at 11.8% in mid-2021 for France……….Chart 1 shows that in France, Germany, Italy, and the United States, once the unemployment rate peaked, it fell at a rate that was fairly similar from one crisis to the next: on average 0.55 percentage point (pp) per year in France and Italy, 0.7 pp in Germany, and 0.63 pp in the United States.
There is not much cheer there and they seem to have overlooked that unemployment rates have been much higher in the Euro area than the US. But we can see how this might have triggered the French fiscal response especially at these bond yields.
But Giulia Sestieri is likely to find that her conclusion about fiscal policy is likely to see the Bank of France croissant and espresso trolley also contain the finest brandy as it arrives at her desk.
Ceteris paribus, the lessons of economic literature suggest potentially large fiscal multipliers during the post-Covid19 recovery phase
Mind you that is a lot of caveats for one solitary sentence.

Dr. Gerard Lameiro says that the Dems have blown it, regardless what the fraudulent polls may say. Who would ever believe that mass rioting could be the key to the Whitehouse? Instead they’ve alienated the working class and we’re starting to see mass defections among minorities, who were the Dems most loyal voters. This will inevitably lead to Trump’s re-election and 4 more years. And don’t forget, when the pollster calls you, lie to them. This will help destroy the fraudulent science of polling, which is now used to help determine the outcome, rather than reflect it.

Yesterday, when Joe Biden visited Kenosha, Wisconsin — after condemning President Trump’s visit — a video of Biden shows a dark bruise with a needle puncture mark on his left hand.
Here’s the video (h/t @Q_Stewardess):
And here’s a screenshot I took from the video (I circled the bruise in yellow):
Tweeters who are nurses and other medical professionals all identified Biden’s bruise and needle mark as the bruising from an IV (intravenous) drip, elderly people’s skin being thin and easily bruised. Joe Biden will be 78 years old on November 20.

From Wikipedia:
Aducanumab is a human monoclonal antibody that has been studied for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).[1] It was developed by Biogen Inc., which licensed the drug candidate from Neurimmune, its discoverer.[2] The antibody targets aggregated forms of β-amyloid found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, in the hopes of reducing its buildup.[3] […] A Phase Ib study was published in August 2016, based on one year of “monthly intravenous infusions” of aducanumab, with brain scans to measure amyloid plaques.[12] Phase 3 clinical trials were ongoing in September 2016,[12] but were canceled in March 2019 after “an independent group’s analysis show[ed] that the trials were unlikely to ‘meet their primary endpoint.’”[13] Despite this, in October 2019 the company announced their intention to seek regulatory approval, following a reanalysis of the data.[14][15][16]
Demonrats’ typical tactic is to deflect from their problems by going on the offense.
No wonder their accomplices in the media, including Drudge Report, babbled about President Trump having had mini-strokes — which both the President and his physician, Dr. Sean P. Conley, have denied.
Unlike Joe Biden, President Trump is lucid and shows no sign of cognitive impairment from strokes or senile dementia. On the contrary, he has the energy of a man half his age.
Mike Pence was never put on standby, & there were no mini-strokes. This is just more Fake News by @CNN, a phony story.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday that he is reviewing legislation that would remove control of the Austin Police Department from the capital city, and place them under state authority.
Abbott’s tweet is the latest attempt by the GOP to protect police from defunding as Austin became the first Texas city to vote in favor of shifting financial resources, in the wake to the Blake Lives Matter protests which have erupted across the nation in response to police brutality against Black Americans.
“This proposal for the state to takeover the Austin Police Department is one strategy I’m looking at,” Abbott tweeted Thursday. “We can’t let Austin’s defunding & disrespect for law enforcement to endanger the public & invite chaos like in Portland and Seattle.”

So, it came – and I lean towards calling it the start of a correction. Right at the beginning of September, giving meaning to my yesterday raised doubts:
(…) Isn’t Wednesday’s accelerated upswing too good to be true? While I have no doubts about stocks being in a strong bull market, isn’t a bit than stellar path ahear in the coming day(s)?
Yesterday’s downswing came in not as a shallow one – but neither was the breakout invalidation from the early June bearish wedge once the euphoria from the positive June non-farm payrolls wore off.
And what about today’s payrolls data? Given Wednesday ADP change figures, they’re likely to underperform. Two logical constructs follow:
But the stock market didn’t take it on the chin on Wednesday – it kind of “collapsed under its own weight” on not so bad new and continuing unemployment claims yesterday. Back in the August, the non-farm employment change on Wed August 5 came in really weak, but the Friday August 7 non-farm payrolls was a positive surprise (I have dealt with this point’s implications in today’s intraday Stock Trading Alert prior to the data announcement.)
So, what would today’s reaction to the rebound veracity (that I have publicly called as uneven, not V-shape like, having run into a weakening patch lately, and for want of a better word, desperately in need of new stimulus), be?
That’s what my intraday Stock Trading Alert #2 was about.
Let’s get down to the charts’ messages.
S&P 500 in the Short-Run
I’ll start with the daily chart perspective (charts courtesy of stockcharts.com ):
It smacked of a buying climax in the short-term, and turned out to be one. High volume (but not way too extraordinary), some lower knot… My interpretation? On one hand, the correction isn’t likely over yet, but a daily upswing attempt is probably coming – and the bulls will have to prove that it wouldn’t turn out as a dead cat bounce.
The Credit Markets’ Point of View
High yield corporate bonds (HYG ETF) didn’t decline as steeply yesterday, and the volume coupled with the lower knot point to no selling stampede on Thursday (please see this and many more charts at my home site). The daily setback in investment grade corporate bonds (LQD ETF) was even less pronounced.

The caption says it all, making yesterday’s stock selloff seem a bit overdone relative to the high yield corporate bonds to short-term Treasuries (HYG:SHY) ratio.
Gold, Copper and Technology
The yellow metal recovered similarly to bonds from yesterday’s selloff. No rush to liquidate longs, and the current consolidation still can turn out to be a bull flag (however extended in time, because the king of metals had quite a run since recovering from the March deflationary collapse).
Copper took a larger hit, but isn’t rolling over either. The upcoming sessions will be telling but I look for its uptrend to resume before too long.
The key culprit of declining S&P 500, technology (XLK ETF) – its volume and candle itself call for caution as the correction here isn’t likely over yet.
Summary
Summing up, despite yesterday’s profound setback, the S&P 500 is still in a bull market. The correction though appears likely to have a bit further to run in time, as a minimum. The autumn storms have arrived on a daily basis, but the medium-term picture still remains bullish. The weekly closing prices will be a reality check for the bulls – will they be step in at these negative market breadth readings? For those bullishly inclined, best to be approached with a reasonably tight stop-loss – which is exactly what I did prior to finishing writing this Alert.

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-05--Pension Funds Join the Gold Party—Things Are About to Get Interesting

Today , institutional participation – the enormous Wall St and global wealth management and investment firms and their clients from hedge funds to pension funds – in the gold market is minimal .
But with interest rates near zero globally , we ’ re seeing signs that this is changing rapidly .
The latest such news was first brought to our attention by our investor , Gold Bullion International , who services institutions like these : the Ohio Police and Fire Pension fund announced it will allocate 5 % of its assets to gold .
This follows on the heels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or silver in Q2 , but it ’ s the first major pension fund this year to publicly announce it has entered the gold market .
The fund has $ 15.7 billion in Assets under Management ( AUM ) .
While there ’ s no timeline for buying the gold , a 5 % allocation equates to over $ 750 million .
That ’ s roughly 2.5 % of ALL the new gold brought into circulation last year for investment .
From one fund .
A couple things make this very interesting .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ most populous state in the US .
And this fund is only one of eight similar public pensions in that state alone .
There is a ton—literally—of cash from these kinds of entities that could look at entering the gold market .
Second , this is a very traditional “ money ” manager .
For them to enter the gold market indeed signals a shift .
Pension funds are typically among the most conservative , long-term oriented investors , and don ’ t jump in and out of positions .
This public move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to spur other institutional investors to consider making an allocation to gold , too .
This is a trend we expect will pick up steam , particularly in a ZIRP ( Zero Interest Rate Policy ) world .
One of the most supportive conditions for gold is a negative “ real ” interest rate ( 10-year Treasury rate minus the CPI ) .
When real rates are zero or negative , like they are now , gold has historically performed very well .
The Fed and other central bankers have essentially signaled that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this policy anytime soon .
The compelling angle to all this is that most pension funds currently have zero direct exposure to gold .
Estimates vary , but we ’ ve seen percentages from less than one percent to as high as two percent .
That two percent figure looks like this .
In other words , the vast majority of pension funds have not yet bought any gold .
We ’ re not implying they all will , but clearly a lot more could and likely will .
And on a global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of assets .
At the end of 2019 it exceeded $ 46 trillion ( second bar from left ) , which completely dwarfs the gold industry ( middle gold bar ) .
Even the total value of all known above-ground gold ( at $ 1900 ) is puny compared to the amount of allocable capital the wide array of institutional investors have at their disposal .
It appears clear that institutional investors are now starting to enter the gold market .
This is a new trend in motion , one that could easily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ catalyst in and of itself , and one you want to make sure you ’ re in front of .
And if you manage institutional funds , you might look at Gold Bullion International , who was one of the first to offer global infrastructure for physical gold to the institutional world .
With $ 2.3 billion in gold under management , they ’ re fully equipped and prepared for the coming gold rush .

Today, institutional participation – the enormous Wall St and global wealth management and investment firms and their clients from hedge funds to pension funds – in the gold market is minimal.
But with interest rates near zero globally, we’re seeing signs that this is changing rapidly.
The latest such news was first brought to our attention by our investor, Gold Bullion International, who services institutions like these: the Ohio Police and Fire Pension fund announced it will allocate 5% of its assets to gold.
This follows on the heels of other institutional investors that bought gold or silver in Q2, but it’s the first major pension fund this year to publicly announce it has entered the gold market.
The fund has $15.7 billion in Assets under Management (AUM). While there’s no timeline for buying the gold, a 5% allocation equates to over $750 million.
That’s roughly 2.5% of ALL the new gold brought into circulation last year for investment. From one fund.
A couple things make this very interesting. First, Ohio is only the 7th most populous state in the US. And this fund is only one of eight similar public pensions in that state alone. There is a ton—literally—of cash from these kinds of entities that could look at entering the gold market.
Second, this is a very traditional “money” manager. For them to enter the gold market indeed signals a shift. Pension funds are typically among the most conservative, long-term oriented investors, and don’t jump in and out of positions. This public move from a large mainstream fund is likely to spur other institutional investors to consider making an allocation to gold, too.

This is a trend we expect will pick up steam, particularly in a ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) world. One of the most supportive conditions for gold is a negative “real” interest rate (10-year Treasury rate minus the CPI). When real rates are zero or negative, like they are now, gold has historically performed very well. The Fed and other central bankers have essentially signaled that they don’t plan to change this policy anytime soon.
The compelling angle to all this is that most pension funds currently have zero direct exposure to gold. Estimates vary, but we’ve seen percentages from less than one percent to as high as two percent. That two percent figure looks like this.
In other words, the vast majority of pension funds have not yet bought any gold. We’re not implying they all will, but clearly a lot more could and likely will.
And on a global basis, pension funds have a LOT of assets. At the end of 2019 it exceeded $46 trillion (second bar from left), which completely dwarfs the gold industry (middle gold bar).
Even the total value of all known above-ground gold (at $1900) is puny compared to the amount of allocable capital the wide array of institutional investors have at their disposal.
It appears clear that institutional investors are now starting to enter the gold market. This is a new trend in motion, one that could easily last years. It’s a catalyst in and of itself, and one you want to make sure you’re in front of.
And if you manage institutional funds, you might look at Gold Bullion International, who was one of the first to offer global infrastructure for physical gold to the institutional world. With $2.3 billion in gold under management, they’re fully equipped and prepared for the coming gold rush.

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-05--Lost it all in 1999 again in 2008 and came back for March 2020

I went to financial training seminar while in the military in November 1999 and the lady talked about how stocks like the second coming of christ as the only true path to increase your wealth .
I sold all my silver age comics and things and sunk all my savings about 8000 dollars not much into the top growth stocks at the time .
Nokia , JDSU , Qualcom ( had a 5,000 percent spike that year ) , and GLW .
Cell phones and fiber optics were where it was at in the late month of December Nokia was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time .
Well , one month later my portfolio was worth 1,500 dollars .
I had one tech mutual fund i had sunk my whole paycheck of 1,500 dollars that was worth 200 dollars the next month .
I held onto it for a while after the crash but by july I put 400 dollars each in XOm and LMT ( 20 dollars a share ) and rest in a Marvel trading around in the low 1 dollar range after the release of the first x-men movie .
Now it was all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but i went for marvel .
The stock was cheaper than the price of a comic book and I thought , I was a genius when I sold marvel for 23 dollars a share a few years later such a bad decision .
I used the money for my master ’ s degree and housing .
I invested a little in the 2000 ’ s , After 9/11 amazon was in the 25 dollar range and I picked up a few hundred dollars worth of it and google when it ipo ’ d @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Google at the time was saying they were over priced at a hundred dollars a share .
The hot stock at the time was Taser now AXXN .
So , i ’ ve had a few years of success and decided sell my stocks to buy a car and put money toward my condo .
I took all my saving and went all in october 2007 .
My dad convinced me to invest in Fannie Mae she looked so safe and respectable .
I bought it at 61 dollars a share and it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ i held only to have my diamond hands cut off a few months later when the stock markets crashed in 2008 and I sold it at 60 cents a share .
I was utterly destroyed and swore off stocks and cashed out till the recent market crash in march .
The only thing i had left were the stock certificates from Xom and LMT .

i was just afraid to invest and i ’ d see facebook Ipo , apple ’ s smartphone or the rise of netflix and think they ’ d be really good investments but was mortally afraid of repeating what happened twice before .

3000x series… super popular and highly praised .
everyone wants it .
2000 series was terrible so lots of 1000 series owners have sit it out and cant wait to grab the new cards once its released mid September .
nvidia gpus also focus on raytracing and DLSS .
neither of which amd has good solution for ( since nvidia is the pioneer in this ) .
DLSS is witch craft , able to easily double the FPS in games .
it simply makes no more sense to buy amd gpu any more .
plus nvidia has better drivers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Samsung deal .
nvidia ’ s able to reduce price on 3000 series cards due to samsung offering very cheap price , rumor is half of what TSMC offers .
this means much higher margins when it reports next earnings .
the EPS gon na go through the roof .
cloud gaming is booming .
its a new industry that analysts expect to grow to 5 billion industry in just a few years .
nvidia is including a 1 year free GFN subscription with 3000 series purchase by the way , in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
cloud gaming is bascially video game streaming , like netflix .
so if netlifx get crazy valuation even though its only a pure play in streaming , why cant nvidia ?
data center business is growing strong .
it surpassed gaming revenue for the first time .
the AI business will continue to be a secular trend .
we ’ re living increasingly in a digital world .
think of all the surveilllence system , what do you think power them to do facial recognization ?
its the GPUs .
china ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will only require even more GPUs to do the tasks and the rest of the world will follow too .
once nvidia finish the ARM aquision , it will have CPU capabilities just like intel and amd .
and ARM cpus has been growing stronger every year .
nvidia , being a new player in the CPU space , gon na compete against intel data center business by releasing cheaper cpus .
if AMD stock price is skyrocketing coz people think they gon na take intel ’ s cake , imagine what gon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nvidia poses an even stronger threat to intel than amd does ?
also , nvidia has superb software .
its CUDA ecosystem is industry standard .
its very hard to break away from an ecosystem .
CUDA is to AI what microsoft office is to office work .
amd and intel are not gon na be able to take its place .
nvidia market cap now is only 300 billion .
1 trillion is totally achievable within 1 year , honestly i wouldnt even be surprised if it achieves 700 billion before the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ QE environment we are in right now .
it will be the first semiconductor company with 1 trillion valuation and it well deserves it .

GLJ Research analyst Gordon Johnson expects Tesla shares to be changing hands for $19 each a year from now (yes, that’s not a typo), implying a decline of 96%. Needless to say, Johnson’s rating for Tesla is a Sell.
The problems? Let’s see. Take away “FSD (full self-driving) and credit sales in 2020,” and Johnson believes TSLA will lose roughly $200 million “in both 3Q20 and 4Q20,” adding “the core business is still a perpetual loss maker.”
“When does it end?” Johnson asks, “We don’t know… but what we are confident of is that TSLA’s fundamentals are worsening by the day, and when this ends TSLA will trade down to fair value. Thus, despite all the, quite frankly, BS analysis (lacking of any actual numbers) we see out there, we are sticking with our fundamental view.”

Releases: Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Program Status Report
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to prepare against ever evolving threats against the American homeland, most recently highlighting efforts to combat an Electromagnetic Pulse attack which could disrupt the electrical grid and potentially damage electronics. Today, the department is releasing the Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Program Status Report as part of an update on efforts underway in support of Executive Order (E.O.) 13865 on Coordinating National Resilience to Electromagnetic Pulses. E.O. 13865 establishes resilience and security standards for U.S. critical infrastructure as a national priority.
EMP weapons have the potential to disrupt unprotected critical infrastructure within the US and could impact millions over large parts of the country. Since the President’s signing of the E.O. in March 2019, DHS, through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), in coordination with the Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has taken key actions to address known EMP-related vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure. The EMP Program Status Report highlights efforts taken across the public and private sector to foster increased resilience to EMP events. Through data analysis, vulnerability and risk assessments, testing and pilot programs, and government and industry engagement, the department is identifying critical infrastructure and associated functions that are at greatest risk from an EMP, and developing and implementing best practices to reduce the risk.
“EMP attacks are part of the emerging threats against our nation and demand a response,” said Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli. “That is why DHS is taking these contingencies very seriously, working diligently to mitigate our risks and equipping our state and local partners with the resources they need to do the same.
