Futures are cloudy, at best. No need for shades today. Crude down slightly. Gold up a touch. Bitcoin down almost 2% and nears the $7,000 What Now? mark. I have zero insights as to how and why Bitcoin reacts the way it does. Netflix is down slightly postmarket - but pared most of its after-hours decline - after an amended SEC filing from Pershing Square indicated a position in Agilent. On Nov. 4, Bill Ackman said the firm had a new undisclosed position that amounted to 8-9.5% of its portfolio, and that it wasn't yet a full position and "we intend to increase it." Turns out that the new position was not Netflix. Interesting. Over the weekend, a Tesla Model 3 with Autopilot engaged crashed into the back of both a police car and another vehicle. This is because the 2019 we all live in is not one where we have truly self-driving vehicles on the road. "Autopilot" is nothing more than a driver's assist feature. My Subaru Ascent has one of these and it's fantastic, but at no point do I believe I have "Autopilot" because Subaru was smart enough to call Eyesight what it is: A driver's assist feature. Elon Musk remains excommunicado. The Continental is closed to him. In a 103-page document made public on Monday, Amazon Web Services claims it didn’t win the $10B JEDI cloud contract as a result of repeated public and private attacks from President Trump against Amazon and its CEO, Jeff Bezos. And there it is. Your daily blurring of the lines between politics and investing. How do you keep these apart? Investment firm Tiger Global Management slashed its valuation of e-cigarette startup Juul Labs Inc. to $19 billion, a sign of a broader reassessment investors are making of several onetime Silicon Valley darlings. Got it. Not sure what other investment firms are saying about Juul, but Tiger Global Management has made a statement. Facing continually growing content costs and committed to reducing a debt pile, AT&T is following up streaming price hikes with a new round of increases for DirecTV and U-verse. Some customers will see monthly prices rise from $1-8/MONTH beginning Jan. 19; for customers on promotions, they'll face the hikes when their promos expire. Nothing on WeWork today. Thank you. Boeing news above is brought to you by Boeing, of course. Advertisers have largely lost the ability to target people on Safari due to Apple's Intelligent Tracking Prevention feature, which has been "stunningly effective" at preventing companies from identifying users' behavior across the web. I saw an ad pop up on computer for outdoor grills at Lowes. I asked my wife if she had been looking at grills and sure enough she had been. So much for being surprised for Christmas. I see plenty of American Girl ads too. Strange? Axon Enterprises anyone? $AAXN provides products and solutions to the law enforcement and public safety industries. After watching my oldest son get tasered yesterday in a training exercise, I have decided to look closer at Axon. He sent me a video clip of himself being tased. Happy to report that he is fine! My hat is off to all law enforcement officers who protect and serve.notes via user dcv.
