I'm in NYC today and I got the alert on my phone while I was coming out of a store. Another couple was looking at their phone and I asked them mif they got the same alert. We looked around and everything was normal. NYC is built on solid bedrock and didn't feel a thing.
An hour later another alert about after shocks but people good go about their normal activities which people were doing all along.
Too funny.
NCSU Has their own big guy and he is very big.
As are the Boilers ! NCState better figure out how to deter the big guy!

KEY POINTS
Tesla could “go bust” while its stock could fall to $14, Per Lekander, a hedge fund manager who has been shorting Elon Musk’s electric carmaker since 2020, told CNBC on Wednesday.
His comments come after Tesla reported 386,810 vehicle deliveries in the first quarter of the year, significantly below even the lowest market estimates.
Lekander joins a growing chorus of negative voices on Tesla which is facing a price war, intense competition from Chinese players and weakening demand for its electric cars.

DJT stock hits turbulence: More volatility ahead for Trump's high-flying Truth Social

...Its market valuation, just over $8 billion, is still stunning for a social media fledgling with an unproven business model that has struggled to attract users and advertisers, burned through cash and wracked up losses.
“The valuation of the company should be several hundred million, not the billions it is currently valued at,” University of Florida professor Jay Ritter said.
....“The stock will continue to be very volatile, with sharp moves up and down. But the long-term trend will be down,” he said. “The company has about $2 in cash per share, but it will probably burn through that money and the most likely outcome is eventual bankruptcy.”
....Trump Media trading like meme stocks
Trump Media’s trading has mimicked meme stocks like GameStop and AMC Entertainment, which rose to improbable heights in 2021 after individual investors organized on social media platform Reddit to drive up the stock price. Those investors aimed to strike back against hedge funds that had bet against the company and shorted the stock.
.....Roberson, 52, from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in Texas, said she purchased five shares of Trump Media at about $72 a pop, right around the stock price’s Monday peak, to show her support for the former president.
“It’s mainly to support Trump and his legal battles,” she said.
....Trump Media’s Nasdaq debut padded Trump’s wealth by about $5 billion – though only on paper.
And cashing out won’t be easy. Trump Media has restrictions that prevent insiders from selling shares or using shares as collateral for loans for at least six months.
The board which is stacked with Trump allies could waive those restrictions. It could also hold a secondary offering to allow insiders an earlier opportunity to sell.
The risk for Trump Media: If Trump sells shares, it could deflate the stock price.
“Donald Trump has substantial paper wealth in the stock, but the ability to turn it into cash is limited,” Ritter said. “By the time that he can sell shares, the price is likely to be in the single digits. And the more shares that he sells, the lower will be the price.”
My elite 8 is looking good along with my final 4. And KY sucks.

KEY POINTS
The price of shares in Digital World Acquisition Corp. closed trading nearly 14% lower than their opening price.
The sharp drop came after the shell company’s shareholders approved a merger with the social media company owned by former President Donald Trump.
The newly merged company, Trump Media, could begin trading under the new ticker DJT next week.
Trump holds a majority of shares in the new company, which would be worth $3 billion or more.

Kentucky’s no-good day
The first day of the men’s NCAA Tournament featured some juicy results. None were as shocking as No. 3 seed Kentucky’s stunning loss to No. 14 seed Oakland:
The Wildcats probably should’ve won this game, but what can you do when a bench player comes in and hits 10 3-pointers the way Jack Gohlke did? The Division II transfer who “looks like a high school history teacher,” per one teammate, saved the game of his life for the big stage. Hard to beat.
Zoom out, and Kentucky coach John Calipari might actually be in trouble. “Previously unfathomable questions have to be asked,” writes Kyle Tucker. The Wildcats’ last four seasons ended like this: missed NCAA Tournament, first-round exit, second-round exit, first-round exit. That’s not good enough at Kentucky.
Calipari’s buyout is $33 million, which may sound cheap to college football fans, but remains financially onerous. That number drops to $27 million after next season. Hm.
Kentucky wasn’t the only upset yesterday, either:
No. 11 seed Duquesne won the Lame Duck Coach title, beating sixth-seeded BYU to extend coach Keith Dambrot’s career (Dambrot is retiring after the season). Long Beach State coach Dan Monson’s post-firing tenure ended after a loss to No. 2 seed Arizona.
Two other No. 11 seeds — Oregon and NC State — won their games yesterday against South Carolina and Texas Tech, respectively. A Clemson loss to New Mexico today would mean all four No. 6 seeds fell in the first round this year.
And Kentucky goes home again.
Since 2019, the Wildcats have won just one NCAA tournament game.

The Wolfpack became just the second team to win any conference tournament as a double-digit seed, 10th out of 15 teams, and the first to win the ACC's with five victories in as many days.
"Winning five games in five nights is a miracle," an emotional NC State coach Kevin Keatts said. "We've got to get some rest because, guess what, we're going to the NCAA tournament."
Unbelievable.

BP exec’s husband guilty of making $1.8 million from insider trading, snooped on her calls
PUBLISHED SUN, FEB 25 20244:34 PM ESTUPDATED MON, FEB 26 20248:56 AM EST
Tyler Loudon, 41, pleaded guilty to insider trading charges, claiming that he profited $1.76 million based on nonpublic knowledge of BP’s acquisition of TravelCenters of America.
Loudon, the husband of a former BP merger and acquisitions manager, learned of the acquisition in 2022 after secretly eavesdropping on his wife’s work calls.
Loudon has been ordered to surrender his $1.76 million of illegal profits and pay a separate fine of the same amount.

Apparently some American banks run (or try to run) on Temenos enterprise banking software. I feel for the bank software people who try to implement it and the ordinary users who are stuck with it.
It happens more than you realize. When I worked for ACS/MTech (see Darwin Deason) we had 20-30 open lawsuits from clients at any one time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Deason
Our salesforce would promise them anything and once the bank went live on our platform that is when the lawsuits started. Interfaces were our biggest problem to other networks (ATMs) and the banks' GL.
And once they cut the cord on the old system they were pretty much screwed. Mind you we were one of the biggest in the country. EDS was one of our competitors. EDS was the white shirt and tie guys and we were the polo shirt guys.

The Cologuard company. You've seen the ads on TV. My doctor gave me the option of a colonoscopy or Cologuard so apparently it's not just another idiotic ad on TV for the latest drug. Mind you it was his suggestion not mine as in ask your doctor if it's right for you. lol.
I sent the sample in on 02/08 via UPS and just got the results back this morning. NEGATIVE! But that shows you how busy they are.
It does come in the box and they have everything down to a science as far as what's in the box and the instructions along with how to ship it back in the same box with a new UPS label already preprinted on the box. As I said to the UPS clerk when I dropped it off; if you think you have a shitty job imagine the guy who has to open the box.
The stock is trading at it's 52 week low.
How I got the results?
It's got a similar start to Gatorade now owned by Pepsi. So Coke is countering with a stake in Monster that keeps growing.
The kid will drink it when he is pulling a double at FedEx. That and Gatorade. I like both stocks.
From November to the first week in January FedEx had Peak Season 2023. OT was pretty much mandatory for him with only Sunday's off. And all I got was a Peak Season 2023 sweatshirt!
I'll take a look and get back to you.

Today's large cap can quickly become tomorrow's small cap or vice versa. That said all stocks are fair game here except pinks.
What size is "small"? There are many definitions. Some people define a small public company as one with a market cap under $1 billion. Others define small cap as under $2 billion. And there are yet other definitions. Over the last two decades the word "small" has come to mean larger and larger companies! To confuse matters, NASDAQ's small cap market system continues to list truly small public companies, many of which would be classified as nano-cap by the definitions, below. Here are some current definitions from Investopedia and Investor Words.
Market Cap Investopedia Investor Words
Mega-Cap over $200 billion over $250 billion
Large-Cap $10 billion - $200 billion. $5 billion - $250 billion
Mid-Cap $2 billion - $10 billion $1 billion - $5 billion
Small-Cap $300 million - $2 billion $250 million - $1 billion
Micro-Cap $50 million - $300 million under 250 million
Nano-Cap under $50 million --
