Blackberry -- Wow!

I've been waiting all week for this story. The hype seemed unwarranted. And it was. CNBC is reporting:

BlackBerry delivered quarterly earnings and revenue that badly missed analysts' expectations on Friday, sending its shares sharply lower in pre-market trading.

After the earnings announcement, the company's shares tumbled 24 percent in trading prior to the opening bell.

BlackBerry posted a first-quarter loss, excluding items, of 13 cents per share, compared with a quarterly loss of 37 cents a share in the year-earlier period. The company cited Venezuela foreign currency fluctuations as hitting its results by 10 cents a share.

The GAAP loss from continuing operations was even steeper, at 16 cents a share, compared with GAAP loss from continuing operations of 97 cents a share in same quarter a year ago.

These analysts need to get out a bit more, actually look around. Has anyone even seen a new Blackberry being used. By anyone?

A Note To The Granddaughters

The Blackberry story is another reminder that there is a lot of fluff on CNBC. I had access to television this past month, but as of Monday this week, I no longer have television, and again, I do not miss it. But last month, it seemed there were endless stories on Green Mountain Coffee and Blackberry on CNBC. Folks who moved their money from Apple to Blackberry had a rude shock today.

I now have additional time to read. I am re-reading Rediscovering Homer: Inside the Origins of the Epic, by Andrew Dalby, c. 2006. So often, I find reading a book the second time through is so much more rewarding. I already know the thesis, the ending, the viewpoint of the author. Now, I can go back and see how the author developed the story.

I am always amazed how little information about the Trojan War is actually in the Iliad. The poem only covers the last few weeks near the end of the ten-year siege/war and does NOT include the tale of the Trojan Horse. That little detail and much of the rest of what we know about the war is found in the Odyssey. 

 The hero of the Iliad is Achilles, but interestingly is not called by that name or even references him in the title. Hold that thought.

The author also notes that the Iliad and the Odyssey are two of the very, very few surviving pieces of literature from that period. Hold that thought.

"Homer" was the singer/poet who is credited with the two epics. But "Homer" did not write down the epics; that was done by someone else, probably around 650 BC. "Homer" himself lived two to four hundred years earlier.

Early on, Andrew Dalby asks the question: why did someone write down the two long poems. I think he answered his own question in the introduction. It will be interesting to see how he develops his answer. I've forgotten, so I'm looking forward to rereading the book.

Dalby notes that a new temple was built for Athena/Athene at the time the Iliad and the Odyssey were written. It took years, of course, to plan, build, and consecrate the new temple for Athene, and I am convinced that the Iliad and the Odyssey were commissioned to accompany the "grand opening."

The hero of the Iliad and the Odyssey was not Achilles. The hero(ine) was Athene. She saved Achilles and she saved the Achaean/Mycenaean Greeks. Just as their are many mortal "heroes" in the Bible, the Bible is a story about God/Jesus, the Homeric epics have many mortal "heroes" but the epics, in the end, are about Athene.

I have never had the interest in reading the Iliad but in this new light, that might be worthwhile.

Our older granddaughter loves mythology and knows the Greek gods better than I do. She taught me all about Hephaistos, the blacksmith to the Greek gods. Hephaistos made the shield for Achilles. I did not know that, or had forgotten that, until the second reading of Dalby's book.

North Carolina Becomes First State To Drop Federal Jobless Funds

The AP is reporting:

With changes to its unemployment law taking effect this weekend, North Carolina not only is cutting benefits for those who file new claims, it will become the first state disqualified from a federal compensation program for the long-term jobless.

State officials adopted the package of benefit cuts and increased taxes for businesses in February, a plan designed to accelerate repayment of a $2.5 billion federal debt. Like many states, North Carolina had racked up the debt by borrowing from Washington after its unemployment fund was drained by jobless benefits during the Great Recession.

The changes go into effect Sunday for North Carolina, which has the country’s fifth-worst jobless rate. The cuts on those who make unemployment claims on or after that day will disqualify the state from receiving federally funded Emergency Unemployment Compensation. That money kicks in after the state’s period of unemployment compensation — now shortened from up to six months to no more than five — runs out. The EUC program is available to long-term jobless in all states.

But keeping the money flowing includes a requirement that states can’t cut average weekly benefits.

This is what strikes me the most: North Carolina was actually one of the states I thought was doing very, very well, economically. This is quite shocking, quite surprising. 

Greyhound Bus Lines in North Carolina will probably see an upsurge in one-ticket sales to Florida, Texas, and California.

Another Wind Turbine Manufacturer Closing Its Doors

The AP is reporting:

A $40 million wind turbine factory in northeast Arkansas that opened in 2010 with plans to employ more than 700 people announced Friday it would end production and lay off 40 workers. 

Germany-based Nordex SE, parent company of Nordex USA, said the company had not received enough orders due to an uncertain U.S. market, overcapacity in the industry and an unstable outlook for a federal tax production credit. 

The company said factory workers would be let go after existing orders have been filled. The layoffs are expected to start in October. 

**************************

On my cross-country trip from Boston to Dallas, I mentioned that I loved traveling among the thousands of trucks. Literally thousands. Always an awesome sight. Among those thousands there were exactly two carrying wind turbine blades. One truck each carrying one blade. Two trucks. That was about the extent of all the jobs being created by the wind industry.

WSJ Links

I will skip Section M (Mansion) which I generally do not read. Unfortunately, that is the first section my wife reads. Religiously. And yes, she is still praying for a mansion.

Yes, I had the same thought. In Section D (Arena), there is an essay about a white man playing a Native American. In this case we are talking about Johnny Depp in "The Lone Ranger." Sad commentary on Hollywood where talk is cheap, I guess, when it comes to such things.

Wow, this is interesting. Opening in Bentonville, Arkansas, a look at the emergence of tomboys and ingenues after the American Civil War: "19th Century Girl Power" at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. If you can't get to the exhibit, watch for the inevitable coffee-table book that will be forthcoming, no doubt. I have a shelf full of such books. Maybe more on that later.

There was nothing of interest in Section C (Money & Investing). So, on to Section C (Marketplace).  I won't provide the link because I won't even open the article, but there is an article on Peugeot Citroen -- which I guess is somehow connected to GM -- because the teaser says the French company is running out of ways to cope with a steep sales slide and red ink as a potential ally, General Motors, said it has no current plan to invest additional funds in the company.

So much for unemployed kids not having enough money (or access to money): Nike's profits jump 22%.

Hmmmm....did you know this? The Swedish founder of IKEA moved to Switzerland decades ago to avoid paying Swedish taxes. Now that he has turned the company over to his son, he is moving back to Sweden to be closer to his family.

The Journal starts to handicap successors to Ben. Four photos included: Roger Ferguson, chief of TIAA-CREFF; Lawrence Summers, Harvard professor; Tim Geithner, tax cheat; and Janet Yellin, female. 

It looks like Ecuador is having second thoughts about losing favored nation status with the US which is all-but-guaranteed if the country grants asylum to Mr Snowden. The question of the day: would Hunter S Thompson come down for/against Mr Snowden?

I don't get it; apparently the Supreme Court's ruling does not guarantee that social security benefits will be paid to spouses of same-sex marriages. It seems to be a no-brainer but, nothing is simply, when a government bureaucracy is involved. Speaking of which; I need to renew my US passport. I hope party affiliation has not been added to the new forms.

Okay, this is the story of the day: Egyptian activists plan major street protests because they are angry at .... the US. Not even worth linking.

In the Op-Ed section -- wow, this is nice. The lead op-ed by one of my favorite writers, Kimberley A. Strassel, "Obama's Keystone Debacle." I wonder what she has to say. Here's an excerpt:

President Obama had plenty of reasons to deliver his grandiose climate speech on Tuesday, among them a desire to change the subject. But the better motive was his urgent need to quell a growing revolt among his grass roots.

The backlash has centered on climate, and nowhere has it been more amusingly illustrated than in the recent tribulations of Mr. Obama's advocacy arm, Organizing for Action. That grass-roots outfit has been pounced upon by . . . the grass roots.

Organizing for America, the president's campaign machinery that mobilized millions of supporters for his election, converted in January into a money-raising 501(c)4 and rebranded as Organizing for Action. Democrats crowed that this new OFA would propel the president's agenda and recruit grass-roots volunteers to defeat Republicans in 2014.

OFA has instead become an object of derision for the president's environmental left. That group's priority is to kill the Keystone XL pipeline. Since Mr. Obama may yet approve that job-creating project, OFA has refused to join the campaign against it. "Organizing for Action's mission is to support President Obama's agenda," it keeps repeating, with growing desperation. 

Interesting....to say the least.  That's a huge eddy in the sea of tea leaves.

I guess someone else is reading my "Job Watch." Samuel Rines says government's monthly economic data reports are not reliable. Well, duh:

The Federal Reserve uses GDP and other data such as employment and hiring to determine if the economy is overheating or cooling off and to make policy based on this data. The uncertainty of the initial data makes Fed policy decisions all the more difficult. Large, unanticipated revisions of key numbers can dramatically change what should have been done, and the assessment of how well it worked.

The Fed's mantra is that it will continue easing or at least not raise rates until unemployment falls to 6.5%, assuming that inflation remains below 2.5%. Some members of the Federal Open Market Committee have made clear that they are in favor of continuing until there has been even more substantial improvement in labor markets. Unfortunately, the initial monthly jobs data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Current Employment Survey is not much more accurate on the first go-round than GDP.

In February 2013, initial employment data pointed to a net growth of 236,000 new jobs. This was revised to 268,000 in March and then to 332,000 in April. From the first estimate to the last, the number shot up 41%.

Wow, I've been talking about that for two years.
