Ideas For Now-

We have not seen the energy sector like this in many a moon. All of this was predicted. The over drilling in the shale... I hear money pro's on TV what do ya like.. Oh big tech... blah blah blah What one sector would you stay away from.. Energy. Everyone has the same conclusion-- That's why we start to look in the other direction.

It may take a while but lets say we have the election, Biden wins, green stocks soar and a year later when we look at what did well ironically, good ole' fashioned oil and gas. I see that happening with a burst of M&A. From a CEO's point of view now would be a good time to double your production if you can and from the CEO of a deep in debt troubled player wouldn't they jump at a large buyout?

I've decided I like Seth Rogan. Sometimes I thought he was trying too hard now I really respect him.

Anyway the Election is like a week away!!! Oh my god. Two weird things: One I had a dream last night (this is serious) that Trump fled the country and no one could find him after the election... and then the dude actually said in his joking way that always belies the truth.. If I lose I might have to leave the country... Now of course he is playing off the idea that folks leave the country because of what's going to happen the next 4 years... But the larger truth of course is that he will be in legal jeopardy.

There are several blockbuster events that could still happen. Here are 2 weird ones.

1) When the vote for the religious lady comes up to everyone's complete surprise 4 senators band together and vote no. Looking at the polls it becomes clear that one can cross Trump now and it won't matter. By saying No you become the deciding swing vote on everything you go from being a little known unimportant senator to the most important. No one is talking about this but if I was a junior senator who had been stepped on by Mitch and crew so many times now is the time to surprise attack--

2) After Trump loses, he appoints Pence President and Pence pardons Trump.-- This is a rumor going around and it presents lots of legal questions. Could he ditch his Federal crimes? Possibly but Cuomo apparently has done something very smart on the NY side and the State crimes will still be enforceable they passed some law thus the leaving the country part...

Lastly I posted that Snowden clip because it was very interesting one he said he had no info on UFO's that crushed me... about seven years of my life are totally ufo based... But he also talked about Chemtrails.

So the folks that have fallen into the Cult Q-anon we know a few...they go on and on about Kids being implanted with GPS chips, and these trails in the sky that are making us either not have babies or mind control us or just cause rain.

So when a plane flies over it leaves a trail of water vapor usually two from each wing.
The other day I was outside and I looked up and there was a plane it was flying leaving a narrow vapor trail and then there were like three huge swaths of vapor as if giant spaceships had roared by but nothing had. My wife and her friend were on the deck and they swore there was a little plane flying around a speck that was somehow causing all that enormous vapor.. stretching over the entire sky.

I did not see the little plane. My wife and her friend were about to finish their 2nd bottle of wine... It rained the next day.~si

eBay going back to basics, Barron's says 11:01 AMZN, SHOP, ETSY, W, EBAY, WMT Even as investors marvel over the pandemic-driven growth for e-commerce leaders Amazon.com (AMZN), Shopify (SHOP), Etsy (ETSY), and Wayfair (W), eBay (EBAY) has been largely left out of the conversation, but it's time for investors to take a fresh look, Eric Savitz writes in this week's edition of Barron's. The slimmed-down eBay is going back to the basics, helped by new CEO Jamie Iannone, who took over in April after serving as chief operating officer of Walmart's (WMT) e-commerce arm, the author contends. While eBay doesn't have the growth of its peers, there are signs that its back-to-basics strategy is paying off, with sales rising 7% in the June quarter and eBay's active buyer base at 182M, up 8M from the previous quarter, the publication adds.

Hong Kong stockbrokers are so confident Ant Group’s blockbuster IPO will go smoothly that they’re offering to let mom-and-pop investors buy the stock with as much as 20 times leverage.

That matches the highest ratio ever offered by brokerages including Bright Smart Securities & Commodities Group and UP Fintech Holding Ltd., a reflection of fierce competition for finance and trading fees on what could be the biggest IPO in history. Ant’s dual listing in Hong Kong and Shanghai is expected to raise at least $35 billion, though a date has yet to be finalized.
 
5G on the Moon before Ohio?-

NASA selects Nokia to build first ever cellular network on the moon
Oct. 19, 2020 5:36 AM ET|About: Nokia Corporation (NOK)|


Nokia (NYSE:NOK) has been selected by NASA as a partner to advance “Tipping Point” technologies for the Moon, deploying the first LTE/4G communications system in space and helping pave the way towards sustainable human presence on the lunar surface.

Communications will be a crucial component for NASA's Artemis program, which will establish a sustainable presence on the Moon by the end of the decade.

Nokia Bell Labs’ pioneering innovations will be used to build and deploy the first ultra-compact, low-power, space-hardened, end-to-end LTE solution on the lunar surface in late 2022.

Only Nokia could get a contract like this at very best two people are on the moon at the same time maybe three, ok you could get four but that's it. Talk about putting the horse before the cart.

IRobot tipped by Needham for strong Q3 report off Prime Day bounce
Oct. 19, 2020 7:27 AM ET|About: iRobot Corporation (IRBT)|

Needham expects iRobot (NASDAQ:IRBT) will report a shipments bounce in Q3 from the rescheduled Amazon Prime Day.

"We believe the Prime Day catalyst contributed to the upbeat tone set by iRobot’s CEO Colin Angle in the Q2 call and was reinforced at an investor conference last month. While it is possible that IRBT saw some benefit from Prime Day-related orders as early as Q2, we expect there was a significant pipeline build in Q3, as evidenced in part by the 58% y/o/y increase in outstanding purchase orders with IRBT’s contract manufacturers during Q2," previews analyst Mike Cikos.

<< This is a little tricky you see how we just missed the reporting period... But they are certainly guiding in lne or higher....

Cikos notes the Prime Day event last week featured three Roomba models, the Roomba 692 (discounted ~38%), the 981 model (offering a 33% savings) and i6+ with automatic dirt disposal (discounted 25%).

NOW CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG VAN--- BUT TO I ROBOT THOSE ARE FULL CASH PURCHASES IT IS AMAZON WHO TAKES THE 30% HIT....-----

IRBT is $90.

iRobot price target raised to $95 from $90 at Northland 10/09 IRBT Northland analyst Michael Latimore raised the firm's price target on iRobot (IRBT) to $95 from $90 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares following his review of application downloads, pricing, consumer reviews, and best seller lists, all of which lead him to believe that the company "should have a solid" third quarter. He also said that iRobot "tends to show well" during Amazon's (AMZN) Prime Day, which is being held next week.

IRobot is due to report earnings tomorrow before the market opens.

I'm torn here seems expensive and not worth the risk but we can go all the way back to their last earnings report and the stk was $85.65 on July 21st.... so it has based... You culd build from here-- At that time the Co said:

iRobot says second half revenue 'will grow meaningfully' over first half 07/21/20 iRobot sees second half gross margin 39%-40%

Now One problem might be a far east knock off--- On June 16 SoftBank owned Boston Dynamics introduces robot dog Spot<-- WTF! This thing is freaky and who's to say they don't teach it to pick up your garbage?

 
Looks like GrowGen missed one.....
