Hot and Cold.

Today's Tids Issue 3,296

Opening Stuff:

 

There’s a lot coming out on the Hillary email boondoggle, and some legal experts are saying it’s pretty damning stuff, ala Petraeus. There are indications that her actions were an attempt to hide aspects of her actions for public discovery, and certainly remove it from the designated government transparency loop. It’s not hard to imagine the The Hill hiding stuff which she has been doing systematically since the White water days. At the moment this incident appears to have legs and is far more than politically motivated innuendo. Hillary will be in hiding until she is found and identified by Carolyn Huber.

 

Personally, a fresh air 15-20 degree day doesn’t feel as cold as an closed door air conditioned room.

 

A picture of a bagpiper dressed in green plaid reminded me today that we all soon be walking on Eire.

 

The Question:

As investors start to rue the future of Techs, it is noted that several pretty well known bubble stocks have already popped. Name Five.

When and if Mosul and Ticrit are retaken by Iraq soldiers under Iran leadership, do you think there is a chance that they could be annexed by Iran? Hey, it is the Middle East.

 

So, the Justice Department has thoroughly reviewed the Darrel Wilson case and say there is no evidence that hands were raised or that Michael Brown was shot in the back. Unfortunately, the race baiters and US leadership who didn’t call for caution have ruined Wislon’s career by acknowledging guilt before presumption of innocence. The next time somebody raises their arms in a crowded arena, everybody in attendance should just start laughing uncontrollably. What a joke. But, not to Darren who now must reconstruct his life for just doing his job. Nothing turns my stomach more than this acceptance of untruths by people and media who could have put a stop to it in the beginning, but would prefer to add fuel to their burning agenda..

 

When the shocked IRS agent was found guilty of tax evasion,he had to take time to collect himself.

 

More and more people across the political spectrum are  beginning to agree that the entertainment industry is normalizing too much that has always been considered bad behavior.  In the Internet is helping to rip childrens minds from the loving arms of parents.

 

It is interestingto see that Tsarnaev’s lawyers have already conceded his guilt in the Boston marathon bombing. Many on the left were calling it a conspiracy and created all kinds of cockamamie theories about his innocence.  There are black things and white things, but the legal system costs the economy far too much money trying  to turn things grey.

 

The guy hit with a can of soda was lucky it was a soft drink.

 

99% of the time Police are called to scenes because there are crimes going on.

 

House of Cards, Department?

No, not the TV series, the tech stocks. Billionaire Mark Cuban has come out to say that the Tech “irrational exuberance” frenzy we thought was shallow and unsubstantial in 2000 is worse now. He and a growing chorus of investors are just waiting for the inevitable fall. Getting out is good, but if the big downturn occurs, it will take so-called premium solid sticks with it. Time to watch the shorts?

 

The Answer:

Ok let’s start with Go Pro that had a decided positive hysteria has been in a steady decline since the December 7 (Can you say Pearl Harbor) peak. AliBaba looks the same as does Yelp, Zynga, Rocket Fuel, FireEye (Showing signs of a steady rebound), MobilEye, Twitter (Price well down off a peak but showing urge for creeping towards a plateau nicely above the bottom), Pandora, Potbelly and Angies List. In the past two days Alibaba seems to be mounting a publicity resurgence, with many pickers rating it no worse than a hold  and often a buy.

 

It’s one of those days where my mind could go negative, stumbling downward from happiness peaks. So I decided to neutralize my angst with lots of mindless bad puns.

 

The movie about the hot dog was an Oscar wiener!
