RUSH: They believed all this time the only thing that kept Trump voters locked into Trump was the economy, and now Trump has lost that.

RUSH : Patrick in Golden , Colorado , I ’ m glad you called , sir .
You ’ re next on Open Line Friday .
Hi .
CALLER : Hi , Rush .
Do you think Joe Biden will have a difficult time finding a talented , credible woman willing to sign up as a running mate for his train wreck of a campaign ?
RUSH : Well , now , my instinctive answer is “ no.
” If I had to think about it for a long time , I might answer “ yes.
” But my instinctive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ male or female , whoever Biden ’ s VP is has a very good likelihood of being president two days after he ’ s inaugurated — and it may be one of the fastest ways to become president without ever really having to do anything or run for office that I ’ ve ever seen .
Now , it ’ s all predicated on the fact that Biden has to win .
But whoever the vice presidential nominee is , is gon na be carrying the brunt of that campaign , by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gon na be able to handle it .
Plugs is not gon na be able to do all the appearances , the debates .
He probably won ’ t debate .
If Plugs can get away with it , there won ’ t be any .
Why ?
You think that no talented woman would want any part of this ?
CALLER : I mean , if I was a talented , promising woman politician with a bright future and I ’ m deciding whether to sign up this year with Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s a formidable opponent — and waiting four years for a likely more favorable situation ?
( chuckles ) Yeah , I ’ m gon na wait four years .
RUSH : Well , you could be right .
See , here ’ s the thing .
I ’ m looking at the Democrats , and I ’ m making some assumptions about them .
I think they believe that they ’ re gon na win in a landslide .
I think they believe that they have succeeded finally now — with this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They have succeeded here .
This virus has done what Mueller and Schiff failed to do .
They think Trump doesn ’ t have prayer .
That ’ s what they ’ re telling themselves right now , and they ’ ll show polling data to prove it .
They ’ ve got polling data to show you that Trump is losing .
He ’ s losing — finally — support from his own voters .
They believed all this time the only thing that kept Trump voters locked into Trump was the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that .
And there is no way this economy is gon na come back to what it was before the election .
So I think , in their minds and even in their flawed internal polling , they think Trump ’ s already defeated .
RUSH : They think it just… That ’ s why Biden ’ s candidacy worries them .
So you look at — RUSH : What were you gon na say ?
I didn ’ t mean to cut you off here .
CALLER : I was gon na @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s definitely a certain amount of delusion involved with anyone who… You know , they ’ re weighing the benefit of the fast track to the presidency , versus it going down in flames and forever being associated with a completely embarrassing presidential run .
RUSH : Well , look , Mondull found a woman .
Remember her name ?
CALLER : No .
I don ’ t know.RUSH : Yeah .
Mondull found a woman that everybody thought was solid and great and brilliant and smart .
Remember her name ?
RUSH @ @ @ @ @ @ @ down in flames .
Give me names .
Who are some of these talented women that you think are out there that might tell Plugs to take a hike if he offers the slot to ’ em ?
CALLER : Well , I ’ m thinking primarily just the women who were candidates who dropped out , you know , Kamala Harris and Warren and Klobuchar .
That ’ s kind of primarily , I guess , who I ’ m thinking of .
RUSH : Okay .
Those are the talented women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re independently talented , or you just think they have name recognition ?
They ran for president and didn ’ t quite make it , so they ’ re known and that ’ s why that they are qualified ?
CALLER : Yeah .
I ’ m not saying they ’ re talented .
I ’ m saying they believe they have a bright political future — RUSH : Yeah .
They got a bright future and they wouldn ’ t want to ruin it by attaching themselves to Plugs ’ magic carpet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) It ’ s okay to laugh out there .
RUSH : It ’ s okay .
( laughing ) Yeah , I have… The reason I ’ ve been vamping is I haven ’ t even thought about this .
Can I tell you where I am on this ?
Of course I can ; it ’ s my show .
I can ’ t… I have to struggle at this , folks .
My instinct is , I can ’ t imagine anybody voting for this guy .
I can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I can ’ t imagine him getting 30 % of the vote !
Now , I know he will because there are people who are gon na vote Democrat for that reason alone , and the nominee could be a hyena and they would vote for him .
I understand this .
But I have never… This is the least qualified , the least viable candidate the Democrats have put up maybe in my lifetime outside of Mondale — and they knew Mondale was gon na lose .
That ’ s why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was the old war horse .
They decided to reward him by letting him run for office , and they didn ’ t lose anybody that was their future by going down to humiliating defeat .
And you could say that they ’ re doing the same thing with Plugs .
What they ’ re really doing with Plugs is trying to make sure Crazy Bernie didn ’ t get it .
I think that a lot of Democrats know that they ’ re going to lose .
And then there are a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve already won it .
That they have accomplished the mission of dirtying up and taking the magic away from Trump forever by virtue of the economic shutdown brought on by the coronavirus .

He did win the Democrat primaries up to now .
It ’ s the most amazing thing .

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-26--First Shale Oil Domino To Fall: More To Follow

In a stunning news release , Continental Resources , the largest shale producer in the Bakken , is shutting in most of its production in the region .
That is one hell of a lot of output to shut-in as Continental Resources was producing over 200,000 barrels per day in the Bakken at the end of 2019 .
From the data on Shaleprofile.com , Continental Resources had over 2,200 wells in the North Dakota and Montana Bakken producing oil and gas during February this year .
How many wells will Continental ’ s Harold Hamm shut in the Bakken ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ back online , at to what cost , when the market recovers ?
?
According to Reuters , Continental Resources halts shale output , seeks to cancel sales : April 23 ( Reuters ) – The largest oil producer in North Dakota has halted most of its production in the state , notifying some customers it would not supply crude at current pricing , according to people familiar with the matter .
Continental Resources Inc , the company controlled by billionaire Harold Hamm , stopped all drilling and shut in most of its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shale field , said three people familiar with production in the state .
North Dakota is the second-largest oil-producing state in the United States after Texas .
This is terrible news for the U.S. Shale Oil Industry because $ 200 billion in debt is due over the next four years .
How are they going to repay this debt if shale companies stop drilling and shutting in production ?
?
If we look at the top five shale oil producers in the Bakken , Continental Resources was clearly ahead of the pack : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Resources produced more than 200,000 barrels per day in the Bakken at the end of 2019 .
Hess , which is the second-ranked company , followed by a wide margin at 145,000 barrels per day .
Interestingly , the third-largest producer in the Bakken is Whiting Petroleum that just filed for Bankruptcy on April 1st .

Both of these stocks will be trading below 10 cents a share in due time .
So , why did Harold Hamm decide to shut down most of the company ’ s Bakken Production ?
?
Two reasons .
• The price of North @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at $ 7.27 a barrel .
• Harold Hamm didn ’ t hedge any of its Bakken oil production .
According to the prices on OilMonster.com , North Dakota Light Sweet Crude was trading for a whopping $ 7.27 a barrel yesterday : Unfortunately , Harold Hamm played Russian Roulette with his Hedging Gun and lost BIG TIME .
It will be interesting to see how many of Continental ’ s wells will be turned back on in the future .
When horizontal shale wells are shut down , it could be costly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they left off , if possible .
I have heard from sources in the industry that once shale wells are shut down , a large percentage of the time , they won ’ t return back to their original production level .

YouTube has banned all conspiracy theory videos falsely linking coronavirus symptoms to 5G networks.
The Google-owned service will now delete videos violating the policy. It had previously limited itself to reducing the frequency it recommended them in its Up Next section.
Mr Icke also claimed that a coronavirus vaccine, when one is developed, would include “nanotechnology microchips” that would allow humans to be controlled. He added that Bill Gates – who is helping fund Covid-19 vaccine research – should be jailed. His views went unchallenged for much of the two-and-a-half-hour show.

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-26--RUSH: You know, in a way, I have been waiting for the question or the objection to spending — govern

RUSH: You know, in a way, I have been waiting for the question or the objection to spending — government spending — on the part of the Trump administration and Republican Party.

RUSH : Here ’ s Nate .
Nate ’ s in Detroit .
Great to have you .
I ’ m glad you called , Nate .
Hello .
CALLER : Rush , it ’ s an honor to speak with you .
Mega law enforcement and USMC veteran dittos from the socialist Republic of Michigan .
RUSH : Yes .
Thank you very much .
I ’ m glad you ’ ve escaped and found some private time to make the call .
CALLER : Yes , sir .
I appreciate it .
I ’ ve been listening to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dad ’ s pickup truck during the Clinton years .
CALLER : I ’ ll get to it .
The reason I ’ ll calling is both myself and a lot of my buddies I served with are becoming increasingly concerned by Trump ’ s willingness to continue to approve these massive spending bills in which the Democrats continue to put seemingly everything for every pet project that we ’ ve never voted for and don ’ t want in them , and both Republicans and Trump keep approving them .
In 2010 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the polls because we were sick and tired of the massive spending and putting our kids in debt , and I feel like both Trump and the Republicans are kind of pulling the same thing .
And it concerns me , especially in Michigan , which is a swing state and it ’ s gon na be close no matter what .
It ’ s really kind of dampening an awful lot of enthusiasm for Trump ’ s voters to show up .
RUSH : Or you ’ re just afraid of it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it already or you ’ re just afraid that it might happen ?
CALLER : No , I ’ m detecting it already , sir .
I ’ ve been on the phone with several friends , ’ cause not allowed to see our friends right now .
RUSH : Well , look your friends are right .
The Democrats have loaded all kinds of wish-list stuff in there , and they delayed it .
They delayed the spending in order to get some of their stuff in there .
It ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sir .
My concern is we all voted for him because we wanted him to stand up and fight against this kind of thing .
RUSH : Yeah , I hear you .
I hear you , but then — well , I got ta take a break .
But we ’ ll address this when we get back here .
RUSH : You know , in a way , I have been waiting for the question or the objection to spending — government spending — on the part of the Trump administration @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s campaign , certainly since the inauguration .
In 2010 , it was Obama ’ s $ 787 billion stimulus package that scared and angered the hell out of people , so much so that it led to the organic evolution of the Tea Party .
People that had never been involved formally in politics before , other than voting , became a powerful special interest bloc with no leader .
And it was all about opposing spending ’ cause they were scared to death that that level of spending , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the future for their kids and grandkids .
Placing the country in debt , raising taxes , destroying disposable income .
And then the Trump administration assumed office and spending… ( sigh ) Well , it just took off — and it took off with hardly any restraint or concern .
And the people that had expressed shock and outrage over Obama ’ s spending , some of them made noise about it , but there wasn ’ t a lot , because the greater enemy had by that time become Democrat Party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was necessary to stop them had to be done .
And as the spending… And Trump has never been a fiscal conservative in this sense .
He has never been somebody worried about the systematic damage done by government spending .
No president is .
Once they discover… Once a president discovers that he can spend money that we don ’ t have because the Fed can print it , quantitative easing… Folks , I have been asking for the longest time — it ’ s almost been in a cynical way — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
Why do we even have limitations on what the military can get and spend ?
Because it doesn ’ t seem like there ’ s any adherence to a budget .
We ’ re always way over budget , mounting deficits , annual deficits of more than… You spend more than you take in , more than you have .
The national debt kept rising , and for all of our lifetimes… I don ’ t know about you , but my parents and grandparents warned me the national debt was single-handedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my whole life , it hasn ’ t — that we know of .
But certainly not in the ways that I and my brother were warned by our parents and grandparents .
So then during the Obama years , we started printing money like crazy .
We started calling it “ quantitative easing.
” It happened , and it was money that was sent in a circuitous way to Wall Street .
It was used to shore up securities and ( sigh ) make sure that people that had a second house @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to sell it during a crash .
That didn ’ t seem to do any harm , and that didn ’ t seem to take money out of the private sector .
There was no limitation on how much you can borrow .
The theory has always been that the more money government borrows , the less there is for the private sector .
But banks were still lending money ; interest rates were reasonable ; in some cases , coming down .
So a lot of theory didn ’ t seem to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their heads .
Trump started… I don ’ t remember specifics .
I just know that there was a lot of federal spending going on .
Now , let ’ s jump forward to this .
Do you realize $ 6 trillion — well , let ’ s say $ 2.2 trillion and then a couple of four or five hundred billions , and by the time it ’ s all finished it will be around $ 6 trillion .
We ’ ve taken the national debt from $ 20 trillion to $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a virus , all to pay people not to work .
Still , I know and you know a lot of people that haven ’ t gotten any of their small business loan money .
Maybe you ’ re one that hasn ’ t .
You wonder , “ Where ’ s the money going ?
” and then you see a headline in the news : “ Billionaires ’ Wealth Expanding During Virus.
” You say , “ How the hell can that be ?
” Well , there are reasons for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t seem to be any limit , regardless what it ’ s for .
Forget for a moment that the Democrats are loading up in this emergency spending a bunch of stuff that ’ s got nothing to do with it , and you ’ re upset with Trump for signing it when you expected him to stand up to it .
Hey , he is not going to be the one responsible for the money not getting out .
There ’ s no way it ’ s gon na happen .
So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s gon na sign it .
Just like he did .
He signed another $ 454 billion today , and you ask , “ Where ’ s it coming from ?
” We ’ re printing it or we ’ re borrowing it .
Trump ’ s like to say , “ We ’ re borrowing it at no interest.
” It clearly isn ’ t a concern , and it ’ s not gon na be a concern for whoever the next president is .
We ’ re free to spend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it — among many other things — is look what we ’ re doing .
We are inadvertently ( or maybe advertently ) fulfilling one of the assertions that big leftist-socialists make .
And that is we can , with government spending , keep people fed while they don ’ t have to work .
Meaning we can create this utopia .
The Democrats are looking forward to nuking the idea that you have to work to have a lifestyle .
Now , the fact of the matter is the government can ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but it can pay enough people .
I mean , minimum wage is 15 bucks , right ?
Let ’ s just say it is .
The government is giving away far more than the minimum wage right now to people .
So when this ends , what would you prefer if you ’ re a minimum wage earner and you ’ re being paid $ 52,000 to $ 55,000 during the coronavirus here not to work , to make sure you stay at home and to make sure you have food @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you got ta go back to work at 15 bucks an hour .
What are you gon na choose ?
So there ’ s a lot of sociological things happening here in the midst of this that portend things we ’ re gon na have to overcome again , education , information programs are gon na have overcome again with people .
It ’ s gon na be hard .
How are you gon na tell people government can ’ t support you ?
“ Well , they just did for a year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ goes on .
“ What do you mean the government can ’ t support ?
The government just did for six months , Rush .
During the coronavirus shutdown , I didn ’ t want for anything .
I didn ’ t have to work , Rush .

“ No , they won ’ t Rush .
They ’ ll just print some.

Or will it be , “ Okay , we ’ re gon na throw the towel in , okay , spending is part of American life now , and there ’ s no limit to what government can spend.
” Anyway , let me grab a call .
I wanted to answer the last caller .
I didn ’ t want to give the impression I was shirking it because time ran out on him .

via rushlimbaugh
RUSH: Here’s Nate. Nate’s in Detroit. Great to have you. I’m glad you called, Nate. Hello.
CALLER: Rush, it’s an honor to speak with you. Mega law enforcement and USMC veteran dittos from the socialist Republic of Michigan.
RUSH: Yes. Thank you very much. I’m glad you’ve escaped and found some private time to make the call.
CALLER: Yes, sir. I appreciate it. I’ve been listening to you since a little kid in my dad’s pickup truck during the Clinton years.
RUSH: Thank you.
CALLER: I’ll get to it. The reason I’ll calling is both myself and a lot of my buddies I served with are becoming increasingly concerned by Trump’s willingness to continue to approve these massive spending bills in which the Democrats continue to put seemingly everything for every pet project that we’ve never voted for and don’t want in them, and both Republicans and Trump keep approving them. In 2010 a lot of us showed up at the polls because we were sick and tired of the massive spending and putting our kids in debt, and I feel like both Trump and the Republicans are kind of pulling the same thing. And it concerns me, especially in Michigan, which is a swing state and it’s gonna be close no matter what. It’s really kind of dampening an awful lot of enthusiasm for Trump’s voters to show up.
RUSH: You’re detecting that?
CALLER: Yes, sir.
RUSH: Or you’re just afraid of it?
CALLER: No, sir.
RUSH: You’re detecting it already or you’re just afraid that it might happen?
CALLER: No, I’m detecting it already, sir. I’ve been on the phone with several friends, ’cause not allowed to see our friends right now.
RUSH: Well, look your friends are right. The Democrats have loaded all kinds of wish-list stuff in there, and they delayed it. They delayed the spending in order to get some of their stuff in there. It’s really bad.
CALLER: Yes, sir. My concern is we all voted for him because we wanted him to stand up and fight against this kind of thing.
RUSH: Yeah, I hear you. I hear you, but then — well, I gotta take a break. But we’ll address this when we get back here.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, in a way, I have been waiting for the question or the objection to spending — government spending — on the part of the Trump administration and Republican Party, practically since Trump’s campaign, certainly since the inauguration. In 2010, it was Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package that scared and angered the hell out of people, so much so that it led to the organic evolution of the Tea Party.
People that had never been involved formally in politics before, other than voting, became a powerful special interest bloc with no leader. And it was all about opposing spending ’cause they were scared to death that that level of spending, if not curtailed, was gonna spend the future for their kids and grandkids. Placing the country in debt, raising taxes, destroying disposable income.

And then the Trump administration assumed office and spending… (sigh) Well, it just took off — and it took off with hardly any restraint or concern. And the people that had expressed shock and outrage over Obama’s spending, some of them made noise about it, but there wasn’t a lot, because the greater enemy had by that time become Democrat Party and the American left.
And whatever was necessary to stop them had to be done. And as the spending… And Trump has never been a fiscal conservative in this sense. He has never been somebody worried about the systematic damage done by government spending. No president is. Once they discover… Once a president discovers that he can spend money that we don’t have because the Fed can print it, quantitative easing…
Folks, I have been asking for the longest time — it’s almost been in a cynical way — why do we even have a budget? Why do we even have limitations on what the military can get and spend? Because it doesn’t seem like there’s any adherence to a budget. We’re always way over budget, mounting deficits, annual deficits of more than…
You spend more than you take in, more than you have.

That didn’t seem to do any harm, and that didn’t seem to take money out of the private sector. There was no limitation on how much you can borrow. The theory has always been that the more money government borrows, the less there is for the private sector.

You wonder, “Where’s the money going?” and then you see a headline in the news: “Billionaires’ Wealth Expanding During Virus.”

Let’s just say it is. The government is giving away far more than the minimum wage right now to people. So when this ends, what would you prefer if you’re a minimum wage earner and you’re being paid $52,000 to $55,000 during the coronavirus here not to work, to make sure you stay at home and to make sure you have food? Now it’s over and you gotta go back to work at 15 bucks an hour.
What are you gonna choose?
So there’s a lot of sociological things happening here in the midst of this that portend things we’re gonna have to overcome again, education, information programs are gonna have overcome again with people.

Boeing walks away from the $4.2 billion deal to buy the commercial jets division of Embraer
Two proxy advising firms recommend to shareholders of Boeing to remove five key board members
Boeing stock price will most likely open lower on Monday, after dropping 16% last week
The sellers, who are still in control, are eyeing levels below $100
Shares of Boeing (NYSE:BA) plunged 16% lower this week, while this weekend headlines are set to create more troubles for the airliner. On Saturday, the company said it is walking away from a $4.2 billion Embraer deal, while two separate proxy advisers call for the sacking of five key board members.
Boeing pulls out of the Embraer deal
Today, Boeing announced it has decided to pull out of the $4.2 billion deal to buy the commercial jets division of Embraer, one of the biggest airplane builders in the world. The embattled US-based company said that Embraer failed to meet certain conditions for the deal to go through, according to Boeing’s statement.
“Boeing has worked diligently over more than two years to finalize its transaction with Embraer. Over the past several months, we had productive but ultimately unsuccessful negotiations about unsatisfied MTA [Master Transaction Agreement] conditions,” said Marc Allen, president of Embraer Partnership & Group Operations at Boeing. “We all aimed to resolve those by the initial termination date, but it didn’t happen. It is deeply disappointing. But we have reached a point where continued negotiation within the framework of the MTA is not going to resolve the outstanding issues.”
The envisaged partnership between the two airline producers received all the necessary approvals from regulatory bodies, except from the European Commission. Under the MTA, April 24 was the cut-off date, which Boeing used to terminate the agreement with Embraer.
Boeing’s initial aim was to use Embrare’s capacity to manufacture commercial jets to compete with its biggest competitor, Europe’s Airbus, in the area of midsize planes of up to 150 seats.
The agreement, which was terminated by Boeing yesterday, dated from July 2018, when the US-based airliner agreed to pay $4.2 billion for a 80% stake in Embraer’s commercial jet unit. The Brazilian jet manufacturer argued in 2018 that the deal was crucial for the company to survive.

“Given the current economic reality of the global aviation market, it can be seen that the operation with Boeing is not just beneficial to Embraer, it is fundamental to the survival of the company,” said Embraer then.
Following Boeing’s statement earlier today, the Brazilian airline giant has now fired back saying that Boeing “wrongfully terminated” the joint venture program. Frustrations on their part are understandable, as the company increased its costs over the last few months to separate its commercial unit from the rest of the company and have it ready for Boeing’s takeover.
“[Boeing] manufactured false claims as a pretext to seek to avoid its commitments to close the transaction and pay Embraer the US$4.2 billion purchase price,” Embraer said in a statement. “We believe Boeing has engaged in a systematic pattern of delay and repeated violations of the MTA, because of its unwillingness to complete the transaction in light of its own financial condition and 737 MAX and other business and reputational problems.”
Proxy advisers suggest company to oust key board members
Separately, proxy advisers have recommended to shareholders of Boeing to oust five key board members, including the chairman of the board Larry Kellner, who previously led the board’s audit committee. Glass Lewis and Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) issued separate recommendations in relation to the company’s handling of the 737 Max crisis.
“We believe the audit committee failed to mitigate the risk posed by management’s decisions and should be held accountable for its oversight,” Glass Lewis said in the recommendation.
The ISS, on the other hand, is recommending to fire four other board members – Arthur Collins, Edmund Giambastiani, Susan Schwab and Ronald Williams – for their role in the 737 MAX crisis.
Earlier this month, Invezz reported on Boeing’s plans to slash its workforce by around 10% to cut costs amidst the rising financial challenges due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

As many of you know , Draftkings went public Friday through a reverse merger with DEAC .
When announced last November , the deal was valued at $ 3.3 billion .
In order to hold $ 400 million cash as required by the terms of the deal , DEAC sold stock which was originally priced at $ 10 per share .
The value of those shares rose to ~ $ 17 by market close yesterday driven by people wanting to invest in Draftkings before the deal was finalized .

As many of you know, Draftkings went public Friday through a reverse merger with DEAC. When announced last November, the deal was valued at $3.3 billion. In order to hold $400 million cash as required by the terms of the deal, DEAC sold stock which was originally priced at $10 per share. The value of those shares rose to ~$17 by market close yesterday driven by people wanting to invest in Draftkings before the deal was finalized. These DEAC shares are being swapped today 1:1 for DKNG shares.
Problem is, DEAC’s S1/A (describing the deal – link below) filed with the SEC yesterday described a large increase in the supply of shares of stock available following the merger. On the 2nd page DEAC is listed as having 44.7 million shares of stock and 3 million warrants. In the “description of securities” section on page 150 it says the following:
After giving effect to the Business Combination, New DraftKings will have approximately 313 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding (assuming no redemptions) and approximately 394 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding (assuming no redemptions).
For the original deal valuation of $3.3 billion be true, the share price with a 313 million share supply should be ~$10 per share, which is exactly what DEAC offered to pay for shares that did not wish to be converted to shares of DKNG at the shareholder meeting yesterday. Today, DKNG stock opened at over $20 per share which indicates a deal value of over $6 billion. How is this possible when it seems existing shares are being diluted 6-1?

investmentwatchblog--2020-04-26--Doug Casey: America Is Becoming a Police State

Editor ’ s note : With the recent coronavirus outbreak , the government has been exercising more control over Americans : forcing people to stay at home… ordering businesses to shut down… even using surveillance to track our location .
These changes aren ’ t that different from what happened after 9/11… and if you expect our way of life to go back to normal after the COVID-19 pandemic ends , you haven ’ t been paying attention .

And sociopaths gravitate towards government , and eventually come to control it .
My view is that 80 % of human beings are basically decent , get along , go along types .

When the vice chairman of one of the world’s largest investment firms and one of the most well-known names on Wall Street both “throw up their hands” in a time of economic crisis, it’s a good idea to pay close attention.
We’re referring to Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway, both of whom seem baffled by the current state of affairs. Says Munger:
I would say basically we’re like the captain of a ship when the worst typhoon that’s ever happened comes… We just want to get through the typhoon, and we’d rather come out of it with a whole lot of liquidity.
Wolf Richter commented on Munger’s doubt, writing:
There is something refreshing during these insane times when a guy in his mid-90s who has seen it all and has been successful at navigating it, and who, during the last Financial Crisis, was buying stocks and entire companies hand over-fist, now says that he has never seen anything like this before, and that he doesn’t know what to do except to sit tight.
It remains to be seen whether Buffett’s promise from his letter to shareholders in 2019 – that Berkshire will “forever remain a financial fortress” – will be broken in 2020.
But at least one of Buffett’s favorite investments, See’s Candies, furloughed its retail workers in early April.
Another example of the uncertainty Buffett and Munger seem to be monitoring lies in the airline industry.
On March 13, Buffett stated, “I won’t be selling airline stocks” — even though airline stock prices had dropped about 27.5% in just two weeks. Buffett’s initial statement caused Delta’s stock to rise temporarily.
But three weeks later, on April 3, Berkshire ended up selling 13 million shares of Delta and 2.3 million shares of Southwest for about $389 million.

You can see below how poorly the stocks of the top 7 airlines have fared:
The airlines have already received $2.9 billion in bailout-style funds from the U.S. Treasury. And with two major figures from one of the world’s largest investment firms reacting to the recent market whipsawing by “sitting tight,” an important question still remains…
How Low Could the Economy Plunge?
Somewhat frighteningly, Munger doesn’t seem to have a good answer to this question:
Nobody in America has ever seen anything else like this… This thing is different. Everybody talks as if they know what’s going to happen, and nobody knows what’s going to happen.
A weekly index of ten economic growth indicators, published by the New York Federal Reserve, doesn’t inspire confidence. In fact, the April 23 update reveals GDP decline that’s three times worse than 2009:
According to another article on WolfStreet.com, unemployment seems to be following a similar trend, “pointing to an increase of around 25-30 million unemployed, compared to an increase of around 10 million unemployed during the Great Recession.”
And if all of this is merely the initial plunge, it is hard to fathom what something “worse” could look like.
If You Want to “Sit Tight” Like Buffett – Consider This
When uncertainty strikes, like the economic “typhoon” Buffett and Munger refer to, physical assets like gold and silver tend to do well.
So if you take this opportunity to examine your savings, you may also want to consider diversifying into those.
