Another Busy, Busy, Busy Day -- February 7, 2024

Sports Streaming Alliance (SSA):

• none of is own sports content
• simply an aggregator of other streaming networks
• think of it this way:
• "water hoses in": from multiple sources, EPSN, Fox,
• "a virtual black box on top of your TV": "water hoses in, a single water hose out
• "a single water hose out through your monitor
• basically Fubo TV or Pluto
• cost to replace free Fubo TV or free Pluto for sports: $40+
• this $40 is on top of:
• copper, fiber, satellite hook-up
• a la carte for Hulu, Peacock, Netflix, Max
• the $40+ fee for that virtual black box
• and, then, get this, it's very possible one could pay twice for same streaming sports event
• pay for the "water hose" coming in (ESPN, Fox, etc)
• then paying for the "virtual black box," the SSA

SSA: later in the day -- it was reported that both the NBA and the NFL were "blindsided" on this announcment.

Economy on fire:

• GDPNow
• Liz Sonders

• NASDAQ up over 100 points despite tech taking a breather
• at the open
• YUM up 10%
• S&P 500 opens higher; nears 5,000
• TGT at 9-month high
• considers membership program like Amazon
• suggests TGT's boardroom is "concerned, anxious

The downfall of Trump:

• those appeals?
• to appeal, the court requires cash to be deposited in escrow
• as one example, that $83-million (possibly to be increased) judgment; to be appealed, that $83 million must be placed in a court-monitored bank account at 9% interest (NY -- needs to be fact-checked)
• and that's just tip of the iceberg
  
• and then there's Philip Esformes; wow 
  

House GOP now owns it:

• the Southern Surge
  

EVs
