Notes From All Over -- Whoo-Hoo -- NDIC Back To Reporting Active Rigs -- Nice To See -- September 28, 2021

Afghanistan: Reading excerpts of General Milley's testimony and what the press is reporting about the White House response, close reading suggests that both are telling the truth. Of the two, General Milley seemed quite disingenuous with regard to his testimony. He did not call Resident Biden a liar, but some may interpret his testimony to have done just that. 

Traders, investors: Robinhood traders / investors must be jumping out of windows today. ARKK fell almost five percent, along with almost everything else. Others of interest:

• TSLA: actually did quite well
• F: actually rose a bit
• DVN: increased a bit despite shares in many oil companies actually falling today
• SRE: my favorite stock to follow had an incredibly awful day

Buying opportunity.

Covid-19 vaccine breakthrough cases: there's a video out there that purports to explain why (the only folks experiencing breakthrough cases); I haven't seen it; I don't like to get my news via video. Something to google, perhaps. The CDC addresses breakthrough "cases." The explanation, which I believe has been posted before. I won't post it now; it's commonsense (in fact, it's almost ridiculous to even be discussing it) and I don't want to insult anyone. LOL. Has to do with Statistics 101 and a lot of journalists  ... speaking of which ... here is an example of which we are dealing:
