"Minnesota authorities have charged TWO JOURNALISTS with FELONIES for exposing their corruption..."

Vouching lets a registered voter in a precinct swear to an unregistered neighbor's address by signing an oath. A voter may vouch for up to eight people. In the August videos, the O'Keefe team's members, in traditional Muslim dress and accents, asked election judges how vouching works, then left when told they would have to sign the oath. MPR reports neither man signed one, and the group says nobody cast a ballot.

The 1980 and 2011 gold peaks came with an undervalued dollar. Today the dollar is overvalued. Could the next gold bull market already be taking shape?

Soros’s successor lost 3 billion in 6 weeks: Knowing it was a bubble, why did he still rush in?

  In 2015, someone asked Stanley Druckenmiller: What was the biggest mistake of your career? His answer made the audience laugh, but he wasn’t joking.

In early 1999, he saw through the dot-com bubble and shorted it with $200 million, only to lose $600 million in just a few weeks. A few months later, he switched sides and profited from the bubble’s rise. By March 2000, the Nasdaq had reached a frenzied level, and although he knew it was a bubble, he still invested approximately $6 billion around the peak. Six weeks later, the Quantum Fund had lost about $3 billion, and he left Soros.

 This episode doesn’t follow a chronological order, but rather rewinds those months frame by frame: how was the judgment of someone who made the right call gradually rewritten? At the same time, another legendary investor, Julian Robertson, made the completely opposite choice, and what was the outcome? Is riding the bubble inherently wrong?

Finally, let’s take the same question from a different angle and apply it to Nvidia and Evergreen today, and summarize a few “brakes” that you can set yourself: part limits, cooldown periods, scoreboard replacements… Finding the right direction and making money are separated by several human factors.

US warns gulf allies of possible short intense Iran strikes after midterms 

The Wall Street Journal reported the US has told several Gulf Arab countries to get ready for a short but heavy military campaign against Iran after the November midterm elections. Officials briefed on the talks said Washington is reinforcing defenses, moving a Patriot battery in from Texas, restocking munitions, shifting troops off vulnerable bases, and lining up more ships and aircraft including another carrier group. Trump has not signed off on anything final and still talks about diplomacy as an option, though people familiar with his thinking say he is leaning toward a large strike that could hit Iranian infrastructure and nuclear sites. Israel has its own plans ready. Gulf states worry about retaliation on their energy facilities. Separately the US Navy advised ships to skip unnecessary trips through the Strait of Hormuz because of the blockade and possible delays, as Iranian attacks on vessels have hit nearly 30 this month while oil flows have mostly recovered. Pentagon figures reviewed by Reuters put US spending on the Iran war above $47 billion so far, more than 25 percent higher than the July estimate, with over $29 billion to replace munitions and more than $6 billion for lost equipment. The total does not fully cover repairs to bases hit by Iranian missiles and drones.

 (THIS IS A PIEPDREAM. THE US IS INCAPABLE OF TAKING ANOTHER ROUND OF WAR.)
