Earnings: July 23, 2014

ATT, at 68 cents beat consensus by 5 cents; a huge quarter, though after-market trading has not confirmed such; from the press release -- best-ever postpaid churn drives strongest postpaid net adds in nearly five years and continued U-verse gains highlight AT&T’s second quarter as business transformation continues. [When you get right down to it, there's not much choice when choosing a cellular plan if one does a lot of traveling.]

Trading At New Highs Today

APA, BK, ENB, HAL, KOG, NOV, Newfield (NFX), UNP, WLL.

WTI crude oil back down to $102.

Let's Think This Through

Let's say Canadian separatists started firing rockets that could reach New York City. The rockets necessitated that the FAA ban all flights into all airports into New York City. Any question what the US military would do? US government has banned all US flights into Tel Aviv.

How's That Again? Department

The most inane statement of the day:

A federal appeals court panel in the District of Columbia (i.e., Washington, DC, the federal capital) struck down a major part of the 2010 health-care law Tuesday, ruling that the tax subsidies that are central to the program may not be provided in at least half of the states. The ruling, if upheld, could potentially be more damaging to the law than last month’s Supreme Court decision on contraceptives.

Remember: Hobby Lobby provides 16 of 18 contraceptive options, or something like that. Hobby Lobby did not offer 2 of 18 options. The vast majority of folks working at Hobby Lobby do not need 18 contraceptive options. Comparing the Supreme Court opinion on ObamaCare contraceptives to illegal subsidies is a real stretch. Worthy of a blog. LOL.

It was in The Fiscal Times.
