Anticipation -- October 26, 2025

Locator: 49343ARCHIVES.

This is pretty funny. 

This was accidentally posted on another blog.

 It was mean to be posted on this blog, but will now be "out of order."

Will keep it here for the archives.

Dallas today: a lopsided loss to the Denver Broncos; Zak benched with six minutes to go in the fourth; and, excruciatingly bad statistics for same. It will be interesting to see if Jerry Jones takes questions after the game. Dallas 3 - 4 - 1 for the season.

Market

If this holds, all we're going to hear on CNBC tomorrow -- "it's a bubble" or "is this a bubble?"

Investing: only because the reaction to Palantir is so incredibly ridiculous, I will start a position in Palantir today. I am late to the game; this won't move the needle in my portfolio. Doesn't matter. It's just an opportunity. Seriously. It's P/E is only 652. LOL. This should be fun. I'm only doing this so I can say I have a position in Palantir. See blog's disclaimer.
