Futures looking rather cloudy today. Shades do not appear to be needed. Crude down 3.6%. Gold up and King Midas may have a comment at some point. Bitcoin down and remains below the All-Important $10,000 level. Hold on to your hats! Mr. Market is rattled, not jittery any more. Boeing news is brought to you by Boeing, of course. Good to see them at the breakfast table. Three units of Goldman Sachs have pleaded not guilty to charges of misleading investors regarding $6.5B in bond sales that were raised for state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad. Malaysia has said it was seeking up to $7.5B in reparations from Goldman over the 1MDB dealings, though the company has denied wrongdoing, saying it was lied to about how proceeds from the bond sales would be used. Interested to see of Malaysian courts will handle Goldman Sachs with Goldman Sachs-like treatment. Meatless Craze? No thanks. Discussions on the benefits/non-benefits have taken place several times at the breakfast table. I have no interest in meatless meat, but that is just me. Elon Musk is excommunicado. The Continental and its services are closed to him. Speaking of Tesla, a video of a motorcyclist passing a Model 3 and kicking it as they pass by. It appears that the Model 3 was close to the lane line markings when this happens. Autopilot "favors" certain sides of a lane, so the report goes. How about programming "autopilot" to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane? Maybe there is an OTA patch to correct "favoring" a side of the lane? Drivers assist should actually assist the driver, right? Report also reads that this type of action, kicking the Tesla, happens "far too often" to Tesla drivers. Really? How often does a Tesla get kicked by a passing motorcyclist? With all the data collected by Tesla, this should be an easy answer. The discovery of a massive gas field on the border of Dubai and Abu Dhabi could become a significant game-changer. Becoming self-sufficient improves the country’s energy security and potentially transforms the regional geopolitical environment. Thought I would work this in to the breakfast discussion. Big news that is flying under the radar for some reason.MGM Resorts has been sued over a data breach last year, which the company confirmed and reportedly involved details of over 10.6M hotel guests. It appears that MGM did not keep this breach quiet for over two years, as Yahoo did with their massive Yahoo! Mail breach. Nothing on the massive amount of money wagered on the Fury/Wilder fight in Vegas Saturday night? My son and I took Fury and are glad we did. notes via user dcv.
