Wow! What a great weekend, and it's not even over yet. Huge rainstorm in the DFW area last night; got lots of reading done -- particularly regarding color vision; saw the Daytona Coke 400; the third round of the BMW, the penultimate run-up to the Fedex PGA championship; a little TCM (including North By Northwest]; several new YouTube discoveries, and best of all, Sina.
We'll do the links later.
So, here we go.
Hurricane Laura: the 20-foot-unsurvivable surge ... never mind. Turns out that didn't happen because the hurricane hit shore forty miles to the east of where the "last" models predicted. Had the hurricane hit 40 miles to the west ... well, we really don't know, do we.
Hurricane Laura: the winds. Still subject to great debate. I did note that the wind did not appear to live up to the Weather Channel's billing. I'm shocked! Shocked!
Tesla: losing ground in Europe even EV sales surge. This is quite a story. Many, many story lines. May re-post as a stand-alone. Will certainly update recent posts on EVs.
Canadian oil being shipped through the Panama Canal. Destination: Canada. Can't make this stuff up.
Dissing the US markets: sovereign wealth funds loading up on global equities, but not US equities -- the buzz: too pricey and uncertainty of US presidential elections.
Fracking: by the way, Joe Biden says he will not ban fracking.
Re-posting: that story on record-setting natural gas power generation. There's actually more to the story. It's even better than it looked.
Politics: mainstream media not carrying this story -- "Michael Moore suggests Trump .... drum roll ... might win. First page of google search does not reveal any ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, NYT, WaPo, or WSJ links. Story being carried by foreign press; The Hill, and Fox News. This story is not being reported because of the message but rather because the messenger has become irrelevant. But that doesn't mean he's not accurate.
Prediction: AAPL shares will plunge in price Monday. I anticipate AAPL will trade at $110/share, well below the $500/share close on Friday. Oh, that's right -- that 4 - 1 split. Okay.

One of my favorite songs, not necessarily one of my favorite country western singers. But wow, I never guessed who wrote this song -- or at least, who co-wrote it -- John Prine -- died earlier this year, March, 2020, due to coronavirus. Huge underlying medical problems, of course, but still a huge, huge, huge loss. Amazing how a young man made good most unexpectedly, again, through sheer talent -- song writing, singing, and story-telling.
