Marketing strategies aimed at driving traffic to particular sites are becoming ever more reliant on creating successful link building campaigns. Many strategists use content marketing to submit informative articles to a wide number of websites with the intention that the backlinks they contain are creating a network to increase brand awareness and generate a larger flow of traffic. Some analysts believe that link building depends on how the search engines identify the quality of the links themselves but first, let's investigate why links have become so important.
Why are Search Engines Looking for Links?
The main focus of search engines has always been centred around high-quality content. Websites or blogs containing articles full of information that adds worthwhile value have always been more easily located in the past by specific questions or keywords that are relevant to the subject matter. As the internet has become packed with thousands of high-quality pages devoted to every topic you can think of, businesses are constantly trying to find new ways to place their pages ahead of all the others. By chance, analysts have recently noticed that pages are being ranked higher in SERPs due to how many high-quality links they have acquired. Presumably, search engines are using links to locate pages that they consider to be more popular in addition to the relevance of the information they contain. Successful marketing now needs to incorporate high-quality links, but what does a search engine consider to be a valuable link?
Pages that contain dynamic content are clearly attracting more links than those that are of poor quality. Sophisticated analytics also include details such as return visits and viewport time which is the amount of time a visitor stays on a page, to help determine the popularity and value of the content. Search engines are using similar analytics to identify which links are the most valuable before they rank a particular page. A high-quality link is one that's popular and adds value in the form of relevant information.
What is a Low-Quality Link?
Simply adding meaningless or artificial links to articles or blog posts doesn't guarantee that a web page will be favoured by the search engines. A link regarded as poorer in quality often leads to pages where visits are in decline or that contain content that is deemed irrelevant and confusing. As such, these types of links tend to be ignored by the search engines. A low-quality link is less popular and has little value to add in terms of information and relevance.
How Does a High-Quality Link Bring Positive Results?
A marketing campaign based on link building is striving to generate traffic through referrals from high-quality links resulting in higher rankings. Web pages need to create an enthusiasm for their content or subject. Visitors who find information that solves a particular problem in a refreshing, enthusiastic manner will inevitably increase the popularity of those pages which in turn will accumulate links or referrals. For example, perhaps your website sells garden furniture and the approach of spring is prompting visitors to wonder where they can find the most fashionable sets of tables and chairs for their patios. Creating interesting web pages that highlight the relevant questions they may ask will inevitably generate more curiosity and traffic than pages that are lacking in content. As we have already discovered, popularity is a large part of links being successful. Being awarded a higher ranking by the search engines through a link building campaign relies on links proving to be a worthwhile journey. High-quality links that lead to informative, valuable content attracts return visits and referrals much more effectively than pages that are considered bland and dull.
Regardless of how many pages with high-quality content are to be found on the internet, there are even more that are likely to be viewed as spam by search engines and the same applies to links. All too often dozens of artificial links are sent out through conversational comments on platforms such as forums that have no direct connection or relevance to the pages they are linking to. Search engines instantly recognise them as being dishonestly controlled and ignore them when ranking pages, resulting in a marketing campaign that's misguided and ultimately unsuccessful.
What is a Reduced Link Graph?
A reduced link graph is the content from the millions of web pages on the internet after all those that are considered to be spam have been left out of the search engines' radar. Only then does the search engines' ranking process begin. To be successful at link building for a website, the aim is to be included in the reduced link graph. Being omitted results in a rapid descent in the rankings, the very opposite of what a campaign is hoping to achieve.
What is Link Bait Strategy?
This is a term for a campaign that is aiming to create a massive but passing interest on social media. When the idea being highlighted is relevant it can produce effective results with the search engines. However, many campaigns often focus on content that has no relevance to the site that is being promoted such as a guess the weight of the cake competition for a greengrocery.
So, What Have You Learned?
To find favour with the search engines and earn high rankings, a link building campaign must first create web pages containing dynamic content that is truly valuable to visitors. Links must be regarded as high-quality, relevant and honestly placed. Then the search engines will reward the website with increased rankings on SERPs.

CONYERS: Michigan Needs A New State Police Director
Washington, D.C. – House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (MI-13) issued the following statement after Michigan State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue posted an uninformed statement on Facebook concerning National Football League (NFL) protests against racial injustice:
Dean of the U.S. House
of Representatives
"I have been defending the ideal symbolized by the American flag for my entire adult life. Here in the U.S. Congress since 1965; before that as a state official; and before that as an officer in the United States Army serving in the Korean Conflict. When I went off to war, the country I fought for was far from realized: in Korea I was an officer and a gentleman; at home I was a second-class citizen. But still I fought, because our country is about so much more than a flag or an anthem. It is about a great struggle, centuries in the making, to make a more perfect union.
"Michigan State Police Director Col. Kriste Kibbey Etue is entitled to her wrong-headed, spiteful opinion. However, her comments in regards to NFL players protesting racial injustice by kneeling during the national anthem were completely inappropriate, unbefitting an officer of the state of Michigan, and raise practical concerns about her ability to enforce the laws of our state and country.
"Michigan needs a Michigan State Police Director who understands the very real issue of racial injustice and the blatant disparities that African-Americans face within our criminal justice system and at the hands of some ill-willed law enforcement officers. Instead of bashing the protests, Etue should be looking to address the reason for the protests in the first place, by working with the Michigan police force and the communities they protect and serve to improve relations. If Etue cannot complete that mission, she should stand down.
"I strongly believe that no one should ever make the mistake that the fight for justice in America is anything less than an act of patriotism. As a veteran, I served alongside soldiers who fought for this country's freedom. It is time for us to honor these struggles and commit to working toward a society that so many have sacrificed for."

CONYERS Leads Members Of Congress In Filing Amicus Brief Opposing Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Motion To Vacate His Conviction Following Trump's Pardon
Washington, D.C. - Today, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler (D-NY ), Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations Ranking Member Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice Ranking Member Steve Cohen (D-TN), Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law Ranking Member David Cicilline (D-RI), Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA), and other Members of Congress, filed an amicus brief opposing Sheriff Joe Arpaio's motion to vacate his conviction for criminal contempt of court on the ground that President Donald Trump's pardon of Sheriff Arpaio was unconstitutional.
In 2011, a Federal court found that Sheriff Arpaio's police department routinely engaged in racial profiling of Latinos. The court ordered the department to cease its unconstitutional practices immediately, but Sheriff Arpaio and the department flouted the court's order, and continued to direct their staff to deprive thousands of people of their constitutional rights. This past July, Sheriff Arpaio was held in criminal contempt of court for repeatedly and blatantly ignoring the court's injunction against him. Just three weeks later, however, President Trump pardoned his contempt conviction.
The Members released the following statement:
"The President's pardon of Sheriff Arpaio was not just disgraceful, but also represented what we believe to be an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers. As our brief argues, it is essential to the independence of the judiciary that courts be able to enforce compliance with their orders through the contempt power, especially those orders that protect the constitutional rights of private parties. By pardoning Sheriff Arpaio, the President threatened this fundamental judicial power. Furthermore, if the President's pardon is allowed to stand, this case could have severe implications for Congress's ability to compel compliance with its own investigations and orders.
"President Trump's pardon was not intended to remedy an unduly harsh criminal punishment, or to correct a mistake in the enforcement of the criminal law—the intended purpose of the power—but to usurp the power of the judiciary to vindicate the authority of the courts and to uphold the rule of law. Despite common misconceptions, the pardon power is not absolute. As Laurence Tribe, one of the nation's leading constitutional scholars, explained, 'when the Constitution says that the president 'shall have power,' that does not mean unlimited power. It means power that is not inconsistent with other parts of the Constitution.' In this case, the pardon power was used to upset the careful balance of power among the branches of government, and to undermine the rule of law.
"We agree with Professor Tribe and with numerous other scholars and commentators that the President's pardon of Sheriff Arpaio was unconstitutional and, therefore, ask the court to deny Sheriff Arpaio's motion to vacate his conviction."

CONYERS: Following Trump's NFL Rant, Conyers Urges Focus On Real Issue Of Racial Inequality
Conyers Says Congress Must Move on Criminal Justice Reform and Police Accountability Legislation; League Owners Must Protect NFL Players Who Speak Out
Washington D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) released the following statement in response to President Trump's continued inflammatory rhetoric urging the National Football League (NFL) to fire players for protesting racial injustice:
"President Donald Trump's demands that the NFL team owners fire athletes who kneel or otherwise protest during the playing of the national anthem at football games is blatantly inconsistent with our Nation's most fundamental constitutional and democratic values. The President of the United States, using the power of his bully pulpit and Twitter feed, to rail against private citizens' political expression can constitute a violation of the First Amendment's free speech guarantee.
"While it is important to confront Trump's divisive words, we should not fall into his rhetorical trap and lose sight of the original purpose of the players' protest. The players are calling attention to the fact that there are glaring disparities in how African-Americans are dealt with under our criminal justice system and their treatment by law enforcement officers, which often have deadly consequences.
"If President Trump and his Administration really cared about racial divisions in our country, they would work with us to pass comprehensive criminal justice reform and meaningful police accountability legislation – both of which have remained bipartisan issues in Congress. Instead, the Trump Administration and Attorney General Sessions have been undoing the very real progress made by the Obama Administration to address these issues. Republicans in Congress must stand up to the Trump Administration's roll backs of critical policing, criminal justice reform and community accountability policies.
"No one should ever make the mistake that the fight for justice in America is anything less than an act of patriotism. As a veteran, I believe the players' protest is far from 'un-American.' To the contrary, their nonviolent protest is in keeping with the traditions and values established by generations of civil rights leaders who have advocated for racial equality.
"I respect the NFL owners standing up for the players last weekend. However, the true test of their willingness to protect players' pursuit of justice will be if they ensure that no NFL player loses a job because he has the courage to speak out, as Colin Kaepernick did last year. "
Background: According to former Yale Law School Dean Robert Post, President Trump threatening or using the powers or imprimatur of his office to coerce a private entity like the NFL to take action against a citizen in retaliation for that citizen's expression, could constitute a violation of the First Amendment's free speech guarantee.
In July 2016, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Ranking Member John Conyers announced the establishment of a working group to examine police accountability, aggression towards law enforcement, and public safety concerns related to these issues.

CONYERS: Top Democrats Ask Equifax, TransUnion, & Experian: Will Restore Consumers Rights In The Wake Of The Equifax Data Breach?
September 21, 2017 (Washington, DC) – Following the Equifax data breach of 143 million Americans' personal information, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-RI), and Representatives Don Beyer (D-VA) and Henry C. "Hank" Johnson, Jr. (D-GA), wrote to the three main credit rating agencies—Equifax,TransUnion, and Experian—to hear whether these companies will continue to include forced arbitration clauses in their terms of service or end their campaign against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's rule to restore consumers' day in court.
They wrote:
"The economic security of nearly half of all Americans has been jeopardized because Equifax's failure to safeguard our most sensitive information, which is now in the hands of criminals. Making matters worse, many of those affected by this massive security breach are unsure whether they even have legal recourse because of your company's use of forced arbitration clauses. Although Equifax has revised its policy in response to public outcry, this limited change is simply not enough given the systemic nature of this problem and the scope of the lives affected. We therefore request information concerning your plans to revise your terms of service and stance on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) arbitration rule to restore consumers' day in court."
The CFPB arbitration rule includes important safeguards for consumers against forced arbitration, a practice that routinely allows corporate entities to avoid class-action lawsuits by burying legal language in the fine print of contracts that require consumers to waive their right to court.
A Republican measure to repeal that rule, supported by all three credit rating agencies, passed in the House of Representatives in July on a nearly-straight party-line vote. It is currently pending in the Senate.
The House Democrats denounced the three credit agencies for their opposition to the forced arbitration rule, writing, "Rather than support this commonsense protection, your company and others like it have reportedly campaigned against it, spending millions in campaign contributions and other efforts to undermine both the rule and the CFPB. Now is the time to demonstrate your respect for the rights of your customers, not undermine them."

Mueller meets with House Judiciary chairman, top Democrat
WASHINGTON — The chairman and top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee have met
U.S. House Judiciary Chairmen, Goodlatte & Conyers
with Special Counsel Bob Mueller. That's according to the committee, which says they met Thursday.
Mueller is investigating allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and any possible links to President Donald Trump's campaign.
Several congressional committees are also investigating, but Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia has said his panel will defer to Mueller. Goodlatte has said the panel will exercise oversight over Mueller as appropriate, and that Mueller should not be impeded by politics.
Goodlatte has also called on the Justice Department to appoint a second special counsel to investigate "unaddressed issues" related to the 2016 election and former Obama administration officials, including Hillary Clinton.
Democrat John Conyers of Michigan also attended the meeting.

CONYERS: Ahead Of Constitution Day, Conyers Introduces Resolution Urging Congress And The States To Reform The Electoral College
Washington, D.C. – In advance of Sunday's Constitution Day, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) introduced H. Con. Res. 79, a resolution expressing the sense of Congress that it and the States should consider a constitutional amendment to reform the Electoral College and to establish a process for electing the President and Vice President by a national popular vote. The resolution also encourages the states to further their efforts to form an interstate compact to award their Electoral College votes to the national popular vote winner. Rep. Conyers released the following statement upon the bill's introduction:
"This Sunday, September 17 is Constitution Day, which marks the 230th anniversary of the Philadelphia Convention's approval of the Constitution. We should rightly celebrate the day that the Framers endorsed the basic framework of our democratic system of government enshrined in our Nation's governing charter. Yet, we should also use this day as an opportunity to reflect on the fact that the Constitution still retains the Electoral College, a fundamentally anti-democratic process for electing our Nation's highest federal officeholders.
"On five occasions in our history, the Electoral College has permitted the national popular vote winner to lose the presidential election, including the most recent election, where Hillary Clinton won nearly 3 million more votes than Electoral College winner Donald Trump. This occurs because a presidential candidate needs only 270 electoral votes and 48 states award their electoral votes on a "winner-take-all" basis. As a result, the Electoral College creates perverse incentives for candidates that further distort the presidential campaign process in undemocratic ways.
"For example, the Electoral College encourages candidates to focus their campaign efforts on only a handful of so-called swing states. During the last presidential campaign, for example, both major party candidates largely bypassed three of the four states with the largest populations and skipped campaigning in 12 of the 13 smallest states as well.
"Additionally, the Electoral College is an anachronistic institution intended, in part, to protect the institution of slavery. According to Yale Law School Professor Akhil Reed Amar, who participated in a forum on Electoral College reform sponsored by House Judiciary Committee Democrats last year, the Electoral College was established, in part, to preserve the political influence of slaveholding states. Although enslaved populations were not allowed to vote, slave states insisted that three-fifths of enslaved persons be counted when determining a state's representation in the House, which in turn affected the number of Electoral College votes allotted to the state.
"Given its history and undemocratic nature, it is clear that the Electoral College system must be replaced with a process that determines the election of the president and vice president by a national popular vote. As such, Congress and the States should consider a constitutional amendment to reform the Electoral College.
"And, Congress should also encourage the States to reform the Electoral College through the formation of an interstate compact. Eleven states representing 165 electoral votes have already entered into an interstate compact to cast their electoral votes for the national popular vote winner. When enough states – representing 270 electoral votes – join the compact, the presidential election will essentially be determined by national popular vote, obviating the need for a constitutional amendment.
"In a democracy, no person's vote should be worth more than any other person's vote. Congress should affirm its commitment to this essential principle and definitively declare that the American people, not state-based Electors, should have the power to directly select the President and Vice President of the United States."
Original cosponsors include, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL), Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Rep. Al Green (D-TX).

CONYERS Applauds Bernie Sanders' Senate Introduction Of Medicare For All Legislation
Conyers Adds 118th Cosponsor to House Legislation Today
Washington, D.C. – Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (MI-13) today released the following statement on the Senate introduction of Medicare for All legislation:
"The Affordable Care Act has done a great deed for our nation in providing millions who were uninsured with health insurance. It is vital that we continue to protect and build on this progress; however, it's a fact that there are still millions of Americans who don't have health insurance or have high-deductible plans that they can't afford to use.
"I've been introducing H.R. 676, The Expanded And Improved Medicare For All Act since 2003. Under my bill, instead of a complicated, expensive network of exchanges and employer-sponsored plans and networks administered by for-profit insurance companies that some people can afford and many others can't, we would have one health insurance plan, one health insurer and one network available to every single American. In other words, we would finally have guaranteed, universal healthcare. I'm proud that we currently have 118 House Democrats who cosponsored the legislation – a majority of the Democratic Caucus.
"I applaud Senator Bernie Sanders' introduction of the Senate companion to my Medicare for All bill and all of the momentum he has garnered in support of a universal single-payer healthcare system.
"Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege for those who can afford it. It deserves to be an essential service provided by the government, no different than fire departments, public schools, and military protection.
"Poll after poll shows that Americans agree that we have a collective obligation to guarantee healthcare coverage to everyone through a government financed healthcare system. It's time for a real debate, including hearings, independent analysis, and input from doctors, patients, and hospitals.
"As I've said many times before, it took a nationwide movement to achieve civil rights. I introduced legislation to make Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday a federal holiday and it took nearly two decades for it to become a reality. In that same vein, we are creating a movement to make Medicare for All the law of the land."
I've introduced #HR676, Expanded & Improved #MedicareForAll Act since 2003 and it's now a bicameral effort! pic.twitter.com/mUCHTgH7El

Background: In January 2017, Congressman John Conyers, Jr. reintroduced H.R. 676, "The Expanded And Improved Medicare For All Act." H.R. 676 would expand and improve the highly popular Medicare program and provide universal access to care to all Americans. Rep. Conyers has introduced H.R.676 every year since 2003.

CONYERS: House Judiciary Committee Democrats Walk Out On Markup Sabotage Of Comey Firing Inquiry
House Judiciary Committee Republicans doubled down on their neglect of conducting oversight of
the Trump Administration by sabotaging a markup of Representatives David Cicilline (RI-01) and Pramila Jayapal's (WA-07) resolution of inquiry that requested the Trump Administration to release information pertaining to the firing of FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Sessions' involvement in that decision.

CONYERS: House Judiciary Republicans Double Down On Refusal To Conduct Trump Oversight; Silence Dem Voices During Markup Before Dems Walk Out
Washington, D.C. – September 7, 2017, House Judiciary Committee Republicans doubled down on their neglect of conducting oversight of the Trump Administration by sabotaging a markup of Representatives David Cicilline (RI-01) and Pramila Jayapal's (WA-07) resolution of inquiry, below, that requested the Trump Administration to release information pertaining to the firing of FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Sessions' involvement in that decision.
Early into the debate, Chairman Bob Goodlatte "called the previous question" – a procedural move that shut down debate in its entirety and denied Democrats an opportunity to discuss the bill further.
In protest, Democrats walked out of the committee room and took to Facebook Live to share their thoughts.
When the original version of the resolution was considered in July, Judiciary Republicans hijacked the markup using a similar tactic by replacing the content of the bill with Hillary Clinton conspiracies sourced from a pro-Trump forum hosted by Reddit.
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) today released the following statement:
"Today, the Majority denied us one of the most fundamental rights—not only of the Minority, but of democracy itself—the right to debate. Just as we had begun our consideration of H. Res. 488, the Cicilline-Jayapal resolution of inquiry, the Majority took the draconian step of calling the previous question—blocking discussion of amendments we had planned to offer, and cutting off all further debate.
"This is not how our Committee has operated in the past. This is not how our Committee should operate ever. A resolution of inquiry is one of the few avenues available to the Minority to attempt to obtain information from this Administration. We have only turned to these resolutions out of necessity.
"Since President Trump took office, my colleagues and I have written to the Administration more than 20 times. To date, we have not received a single meaningful response. We have written to Chairman Goodlatte six times, asking for oversight hearings with Administration personnel. We have not received a response to these requests either. The Committee has not yet held a single substantive oversight hearing of the Trump Administration.
"The resolution before us today asked for information related to the firing of James Comey, the scope and application of the Attorney General's recusal, and a meeting at Trump Tower between Russian officials and senior campaign personnel, among other pressing matters within our immediate jurisdiction. We require this information to do our jobs, plain and simple.
"Today was a sad day for our Committee and a sad day for democracy—but we will not surrender to these heavy-handed tactics. We have a responsibility to continue to ask questions and conduct oversight, whether or not the Majority will join us in that effort. In short, until the Trump Administration answers our questions, and until the Majority calls them here to do so, my colleagues and I will continue to do everything in our power to hold both the Administration and the Majority accountable."
BACKGROUND: House Judiciary Committee Democrats have long been calling for House Judiciary Republicans to provide proper oversight of Trump and his Administration. Democrats have written to Chairman Goodlatte six times to request hearings and have also sent several letters to Speaker Paul Ryan, the Department of Justice and the White House requesting related information. These letters have gone unanswered and House Judiciary Republicans have so far blocked Rep. Jerrold Nadler's (D-NY) resolution of inquiry, Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Ted Lieu's (D-CA) resolution of inquiry, and the original Jayapal/Cicilline resolution, from reaching the House floor. Instead, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee continue to do Trump's bidding. Committee Republican Rep. Ron Desantis (R-FL) has even introduced an amendment to end Robert Mueller's investigation.
A resolution of inquiry is a legislative tool that has privileged parliamentary status, meaning it can be brought to the floor if the relevant committee hasn't reported it within 14 legislative days, even if the Majority leadership has not scheduled it for a vote.

CONYERS: House Judiciary Committee To Consider New Comey Firing Resolution
The House Judiciary Committee is now considering a new version of Representatives David Cicilline (RI-01) and Pramila Jayapal's (WA-07) resolution of inquiry requesting the Trump Administration to release any and all information pertaining to the firing of FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Sessions' involvement. Full text of the new resolution is available here.
When the original resolution was considered in July, Judiciary Republicans hijacked the markup by adopting an amendment offered by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), that stripped the content of the bill and substituted a request for information on a wide range of right-wing conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton, sourced from a Reddit conspiracy forum.

CONYERS, CUMMINGS, GOMEZ & LOFGREN Seek Immediate Hearings On President's Decision To End DACA
Washington, D.C. (Sept. 7, 2017)—Democratic leaders on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Committee on the Judiciary sent a letter, below, to their respective Chairmen, Reps. Trey Gowdy and Bob Goodlatte, requesting immediate congressional hearings on the impact of President Trump's decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
"This action is cruel and heartless, and it is now up to Congress to reverse it," the Members wrote. "We believe it is critical for the American people to hear public testimony regarding the President's decision, including the resulting economic costs and social harm to the nation."
Last Congress, the Oversight Committee held 11 hearings on issues related to immigration, and the Judiciary Committee regularly holds hearings on immigration issues. Yet no full Committee hearings on the President's termination of DACA have been scheduled to date.
The letter was signed by Oversight Committee Ranking Member Elijah E. Cummings, Oversight Committee Member Jimmy Gomez, Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr., and Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren.

A third Dune movie 'makes sense', says director Denis Villeneuve
Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros have greenlit a second 'Dune' movie
Maanya Sachdeva
Friday 29 October 2021 06:56
Dune sequel officially confirmed
Dune director Denis Villeneuve is toying with the idea of turning his feature adaptation of Frank Herbert's science fiction book series into a trilogy.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, the 54-year-old filmmaker said a third film in the Dune franchise "makes sense" to him.
Starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Rebecca Ferguson, Villeneuve's movie chronicles the first half of Herbert's 1965 cult classic of the same name.
The film was released in cinemas across the world on 22 October and raked in $40.1m in ticket sales in its opening weekend in North America, making this the best domestic opening for any of Warner Bros's hybrid releases ever. Dune was released simultaneously on HBO Max as well.
Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros have confirmed a sequel to the movie, titled Dune: Part Two, which will cover the remainder of the first book and will release on 20 October 2023.
Jon Stewart denies accusing JK Rowling of antisemitism with goblins portrayal
Don't Look Up originally had different credits scene that changes Meryl Streep story

Chalamet also confirmed the sequel had been given the green light and shared a poster for Dune: Part Two on his social media.
The sequel will enjoy an exclusive, 45-day theatrical window – something that was a "non-negotiable condition" for the director.
Villeneuve believes the theatrical experience is at the "very heart of the cinematic language".
"I love streaming. I use streaming all the time. But I still think that contemporary movies need to have their chance. All movies need to have proper time in theatres (cinemas)," he said.
If things go well with the sequel, the filmmaker said he "could foresee the idea of maybe doing Dune Messiah".
Access unlimited streaming of movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video Sign up now for a 30-day free trial
"That would make sense to me," he said.
Dune Messiah is the second book in Herbert's series of six novels. It was released four years after Dune and picks up 12 years after the events in the first book.
"After that," Villeneuve said, "I think that I will make some other movies — let's call them big movies, regarding their ambition and scope."
Movies like Dune, that Villeneuve has the energy to make right now. "When I'm too tired to do that, I will go back to some smaller projects."
The Independent, in its review, has said the French-Canadian filmmaker's cinematic, sci-fi adventure is "of such literal and emotional largeness that it overwhelms the senses".

Ruhle: Biden's a Bystander, Raise Taxes to Lower Gas Prices
April 1st, 2022 12:01 PM
MSNBC senior business correspondent and The 11th Hour host Stephanie Ruhle appeared on MSNBC Reports on Friday to absolve President Biden of any blame for high gas prices and to enthusiastically endorse tax increases as the solution.
After Biden gave a speech on the March jobs report, host Joe Fryer asked Ruhle to provide a reality check. After declaring the jobs figure to be "really good," Ruhle added that the problem is "when you look at wage growth, where you're seeing wages go up the most, it's higher wage jobs, it's white collar jobs and the fact of the matter is people with white collar jobs saved up during the pandemic. We might not like to pay more money at the gas tank or the grocery store, but we can afford to and it's people on the lower end of the economic spectrum that are really struggling here."
When it comes to fixing the problem of pain at the pump, Ruhle declared Biden to be a simple bystander, "this is a challenge for the president, I'm going to just say why, and this ties back to markets: he doesn't control the economy."
Ruhle's belief on whether or not Biden is responsible for the economy seems to change daily, based on whether or not Biden can spin it as a win. On the issue of gas prices, the problem is not Biden's energy policies, but greedy corporations:
You saw the president yesterday using his bully pulpit to push U.S. oil and gas companies but the thing is, he's not their boss. The CEO of an oil and gas company, his or her boss is their shareholders and shareholders, they like high prices. They want buybacks, they want dividends, I might not like that, you might not like that, but that's how it goes. So, when the president is complaining, rightfully so, about people paying their fair share and businesses doing the right thing, the issue is they're following the current letter of the law and if you don't like it, it's incumbent on Congress to change that.
Fryer then asked about Biden's latest tax proposal, "And we just heard the president talking again about his billionaire tax plan, pushing that, saying he wants them to pay their fair share and to which you say?"
Ruhle enthusiastically supported the idea while lamenting that it won't become a reality:
Great, make them do it. Change the rules. Those billionaires, I agree. Why aren't they playing more? And the reason they're not paying more is because they're currently abiding by the law. So close those loopholes, but when it comes time to do that, guess who donates big dollars to politicians on both sides of the aisle? Really rich people and corporations.
Joe Biden has a lot of really bad ideas, but taxing money that doesn't actually exist, only to have those taxes passed onto consumers in the form of higher prices, has to be one of his worst, so of course, Ruhle supports it.
This segment was sponsored by Progressive.
Here is a transcript for the April 1 show:
JOE FRYER: Alright, let's bring Stephanie in here, you talk all the time main street versus Wall Street. This job report shows we're getting back, we're pretty darn close to life before the pandemic, but it doesn't feel that way for a lot of Americans right now. I mean, what's—what's-- the reality check right now on this jobs report and where we are right now?
STEPHANIE RUHLE: Listen, it's a really good jobs report. If we stay at this pace at the end of this year, we're going to be at pre-pandemic levels in terms of employment, that's really good news. One of the issues when you look at wage growth, where you're seeing wages go up the most, it's higher wage jobs, it's white collar jobs and the fact of the matter is people with white collar jobs saved up during the pandemic. We might not like to pay more money at the gas tank or the grocery store, but we can afford to and it's people on the lower end of the economic spectrum that are really struggling here and this is a challenge for the president, I'm going to just say why, and this ties back to markets: he doesn't control the economy.

Looking To Get Back in the Stock Market?
Looking To Get Back in The Stock Market? Be careful, and make a plan.
Tough choice, (November 26th 2008) Market trends seem to be ever changing. I have put a buy list together. This is a good starting point. Fundamentals change quickly. My Buy list targets include MDR, MTW, CME, C, HAIN, YGE, Yingle Solar has been beaten up with declining margins; but, supported by locked in government contracts. CME has took a recent dive as the market has perged so many hedge fund investors that have left the market for one reason or another. Chicago Mercantile Exchange has strong earnings, and has a great business hosting futures trading. New government legislation bringing in new traders with a is essentially the market maker. I am sure CME can make profitable margins, and should continue to focus on consolidating markets while creating a participant conscious market. I took GOOG off my buy list because of declining margins and fear of declining numbers across industry players. Last month Google was a favorite. Best hope some new model that better reconizes Google value to the world. Citi Bank looks to have a big upside potential and only $7 left until zero. I hope have a really good chance of making money over the long run.
You can make a fortune buying and selling at the extremes of this market is a comment from the Kirk Report.
(Ocotober 31, 2008) I am staying out of investing at least until the new year. Very excited about locking in my first year of tradig profits. In addition to a recent removal of an adrenal gland in the wrong place makes me understand stock trading is not for myself. I still like to watch, and reflect on the market developments. The biggest thing I learned is to lower my expectation and limit how much I watch the market. Be patient, and wait for stocks to move into your target buy or sell range. Keep hard work, experience, and sense of humor on your side. The market still has life to it.
Traders moving the market when it goes higher, and over exuberance relentlessly leaves profit on the short side. Investors are buying long term here and some are selling. Green Span comments early in 2008 on U.S economy did put our economy exposed to high oil prices.
GOOG – is gaining market share today, and offering value. GOOG price multiple for years after 2010 are too low. Goog seems to ad value and create opportunity. Risks remain in slowing trends in advertising budgets.
YGE – Solar pricing should be strong with government assistance; but, depressive oil prices could be diffucult. Reasonable priced growth stock.
COF – The recent injections of cash should boost earnings in 2009. Further weakness in consumer credit debt is expected with the relief valve of the government cash COF may be a worthy investment.
Update 6/13/08: The RTH has risen pretty quickly along with most of the stock market. I would like to go short Monday 6/15/2008. QQQQ seems to be my favorite short sale position. RTH; no real opinion!
Affiliate websites to make money.
Affiliate marketing is used to generate money on your website. I have found a few quality Affiliate websites that offer many products. With a basic website you can sign up to offer products or services to cater to your website. Affiliate marketing is when you either make money when someone buys something from a site you link them to. Sometimes you may be paid when someone gives personal information to a site to get access to a service or a product. These website all have high standards for products offered. Many websites pay a fee to Affiliates to expand their advertising efforts.
Mad Money Cramer education how to trade.
Mad Money's Jim Cramer is a valueable educator hard at work to help the average investor and shed light on the investing world. With out sun light nothing grows or prospers. I really liked some tips he gave on how to spot a bottom in the market. Including ocilator technical over sold indicater above 5 being an important measure in marking a bottom or the VIX going over or at 30." This is the point he believes a good investor should be sticking his toe in the water. He said to "Buy something at this point in a sell off in-spite of the pain. Play the cycle. People are playing games with emotions. Be careful.
With the bottom set in february possible the stock market cycle is bullish. I bought CFC amd sold it with a small profit. I thought Google was a short sale; but, Google is a bull market stock going higher. I would put a $725 Target off the top of my head on Google stock within 12 months. Larry Kudlow of CNBC should be careful of accusing George Soroes and Bill Gates of being anti Capitalism.
Being diversified is an absolute must by Cramer on CNBC Mad Money. As a person that has violated this rule because it is hard not to chase a large return. To not put all your money in one basket is hard to do. By diversifying we limit our upside and downside. This is risk management. It keeps us in the game. Cramer advises owning at least five top stocks in five different sectors to ensure diversification. You have to protect yourself from yourself. You will lose money if you break your rules. We are human and not perfect so we need rules. Frailty of humanity makes us go against stocks. We need to not be arrogant. Cramer also advised against ever investing in stock tips because it is either bad information or could be illegal insider information. I have watched Cramer for a couple of years. If you just use a filter to listen to Cramer it is a great show. Cramer also advises investing incrementally.

Proper utlization of human resources meaning active education and cooperation combined with technology and infrastructure in place without abusive elements would deliver the most efficient medical treatment care system.
Michael Moore has done a film on his thoughts about the inappropriate profiteering health insurance corporations carry out. In my opinion they have abused their trust when patient recieved care outside of the network or avoided treatment becuase of fear of costs. Society can provide honest available medical care, and can work with other nations to share benefits. I was recently reading some bible passages online trying to learn more about the contents. I take from all the births and human relations in the book over generations we all have shared interest past and future. Gods is with all of us and in everything.
( update 10 am. On the UNH trade I should try to focus on my timing better. I gave it a shot. Still have about 8 hours for mr. market to wake up and price this stock lower because the Government should be able to crush the profit the one thing UNH had going for it the manipulation of health care costs. I entered the trade when the stock was trading jut over $46. I had seen the lower print and the fraud charges. Then I pulled the trigger at .35 cent 2/15/08 45 puts in the heat of the moment yesterday. I closed out the positions It was an out of the money trade trying to hit a home run. Good chance after reading about it as a manipulation trade ahead of the news. Big money stands to hedge the stock here while it continually repositions. It is an election year. The march 45's look tempting.
Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord 9 appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her.
The option addict is a website I recently started visiting and am impressed with the quality of stock market information and video's the author uses. He was bullish going into the week and made a very good call that is well explained in a video he released before the week started calling for a rally in specific stocks. Check it out http://www.optionaddict.net/ I have added it to the blog roll of sites I like to review to stay on top of market developments.
Companies Black Berry service is out across the country. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080211/blackberry_outage.html?.v=10 Should cause a specific problem for RIMM , and problem could go on. (update 2/13/08 – Stock is trading up recently. My trade timing and call have were wrong to date. The stock rallied with the market. Investors buying are looking at the growth potential of phone users upgraded to the blackberry handsets.
Banks have recently been allowed to take mortgages off balance sheets to meet lending standards to make new loans. ( I stand corrected, with further research I found banks and other financial institutions have been using this practice for a long time with regularity making it impossible to figure how bad things could get http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/ContrarianChronicles/BanksDarkOffBalanceSheetWorld.aspx ) Not good. This make a lot of sense why bond markets have dried up. People have no idea how over leveraged banks are because of home loans, and corporate buy outs. I take from this the buyout market is dead and not coming back any time soon. That takes a big up side catalyst out of the market.
A reinterpretation of how stocks are valued could be a big positive for the market. This has to be balanced out with the other side of the argument about a slower economy. I remember when they changed dot.com accounting interpretations. That led to a big crash. More volatility ahead. One comment that is hard to argue against that people use is how good is your own situation. People do tend to have a harder time finding weakness when they look at how good their own personal situation is.
02/27/2008. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/warren-buffett-says-us-dollar/story.aspx?guid=%7B50CE458A-3BB1-4934-83B1-FB368B0FCD66%7D Tech giant Cisco with drew guidance for the year. Then made comments abouts its ability to change with the times. What? I thought they were a telecom fiber expansion play. Google never has given guidance. Google markets crap on the internet and people are catching on. I could see foreign nations not allowing the sale of crap to their people. Google has taken initiative to improve the quality of products offered. Oil giant Shell issued some disturbing news that is could not deliver oil promised to the market becuase of security reasons and what it called sabotage of it's pipelines in Africa. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/shell-declares-force-majeure-nigeria/story.aspx?guid=%7B4AC5EFC0-BDD8-4285-869D-5EABB71CB43F%7D I think the educated trader just sells the market higher every time it goes up. The investor takes his profits. I don't know who would be a buyer in this market.
So, lets take a look at his argument. Companies are trimming expenses and valued at a lower multiple than a few months ago. Going forward this makes stock investment more attractive. Corporations believe the 2nd half of 2008 and 2009 will be good for earnings. The stock market being a forward looking indicator may dictate the bottom is in. The vix hit 29 recently. Meaning stocks volaltility is peaking and may have change directions. Investors are flush with cash and certainly not going down with out a fight. Just have to see what plays out. AAPL and other stocks may be a bargain here.
Jim Cramer did an interview last night with the CEO of NYX (NYSE) and it sounded like a tough road ahead. http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?play=1&video=639480517&__source=yahoo%7Cheadline%7Cquote%7Cvideo%7C&par=yahoo Increases in volume have been offset by increases in costs. Volume going forward could stay high or it could drop off. I think it will decline as the economy slows and with the rise of the Shanghai trading. After all the last CEO of NYX was fired late last year. Things can't be great. CME is getting crushed today because of higher trading costs. I think a short is worth a try. Upside seems limited and downside could be higher than thought. Volume could drop off a cliff at some point.
MTG a private mortgage insurer looks like an attractive short. MTG has held up and I think is over priced and should go to zero. The company should be worthless when all is said in done by normal accounting standards. If competition is allowed, a recession takes hold, and accounting standards are enforced MTG could go to zero I hope the government progresses in its fight with greed. I do worry because they recently allowed banks to take assets/debts to off balance sheets to be able to continue to loan money other wise not meeting correct reserve requirements.
The stock market will crash in my opinion. I would play it with a short in RTH, XLF and or SPY. The market system is broken and not working in my opinion. Service sector contracted to a reading of 44.6 while analysts estimates were at 53. That is a serious miscalculation. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080205/wall_street.html . Any reading under 50 indicates recesion or bearish indicator about the economy. So service sector America seems to be hitting a rough patch. Lay off the service employees when things get tight and continue business as usual. Markets no longer crash because the fed cuts rates, doesn't pay it's debts, and buy stocks when they go lower. Gotcha capitalism is another article on yahoo this morning. http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/01/04/gotcha_capitalism/ Looks like yahoo pulled the story; but, I found something to show I am not making this stuff up. Must of aggravated a few too many corporations using gotcha capitalism. As in put you on hold until you hang up. Charge you fees when you aren't looking, and get over on you any way they can.
I have plenty of loans I would like to back out of. I'm tired of the government lending money to business's to get over on me. Tired of the government paying interest on money that is doing nothing. Given the world has limited resources and humans are committed to racing to consume all of them. Interest on idle money needs to be reduced and eliminated as the return on capital reduces. There are answers and money can retain value; but, manipulation makes the problem worse in the end. The unfolding of this may take 5 minutes or 10 years; but, it is better to find real solutions early to avoid disruptions.
We have large problems antagonizing other nations and not looking for common ground. We cut are health care standards and military expendutures are out of control. You can't call people your enemy and fight wars to solve problems. Honesty and understanding will always be the solution to problems. The United States continues to persist that China, Iran, North Korea, Russia and others pos threats to our nation. That is a losing strategy. All people have to be our friends.
I think John McCain is too inflexible and committed to violence to bring lasting peace. Romney is too greedy. I oppose all war and realize terrorists are trying to achieve chaos through world wide human suffering, and wars waste natural resources. I like that Barrack Obama is the only candidate who voted against the Iraq war; but, is not afraid to change his opinion with changing understanding of reality. I like that Barrack wants to help the middle class and less fortunate in our society. I like that Barrack has not excepted any money from special interest groups. I do not like that Barrack has been very unclear or lacks the ability to state how he will achieve his goals. Hillary Clinton speaks of achieving similar solution in the future. I don't think rich or poor people of the world want to live in a morally unsound world that fails to manage for the future. Taxing excess profits at higher rates is a realistic solution to paying for past mistakes and short falls of tax collections to pay for are consumption. Pure capitalism states that humans are better dealt with by ignoring their needs. This will prove to be a disastorous situation if the world races irresponsible to over consume, no population constraints, and a lack of focus on minimizing our actions. The government needs to bridge the gaps of what capitalism has created and where it falls short of desirable results. Sharing world education, forgiveness, managing world populations, security, trade, and minimum standards for the world are key components of achieving a peaceful future. I feel Hillary and Bill are most capable of finding common ground. I would most trust a woman (Hillary Clinton) guided by a man (Bill Clinton) to find the most rational solutions. Barrack may be young and untested; but, ultimately be best for the nation. The future will bring reality as we have guided it. The stock markets long term function is only in doubt with politics as usual.
Changing your mind after buying/selling a stock.
Many times I make trades into stocks that I don't have complete understanding of to chase an opportunity. Taking a stab with an educated perspective looking for a stock to move favorable higher or lower. After putting on the position I continue to further investigate the trade. Sometimes I like what I find and other times I realize I missed part of the story. That does not mean my trade won't work; but, does mean I should adjust my exit strategy to meet what reality is offering me or may offer me. Adjusting your trades to what is actually going on in the market has been very helpful. Don't be afraid to change your mind. Be flexible and change your mind as your understanding of reality changes.
Most traders only deal with a list of stocks they fully understand to avoid this problem. Many analysts only follow one stock or a few stocks so they can be up to date on all the developments in a stock and the surrounding industry.
Understanding of ones self will always be an important part of trading successfully. I personally live to find the next big idea or trend in any exciting story. I get too emotional and quick to forget the past. To deal with this I continually work on my trades. Go over my rules for trading. Try hard to resist being overly aggressive. I created this Blog to help myself work on my trading ability. I had to turn off CNBC during trading hours because of the typically manipulation you find in any for profit enterprise. I had resisted the idea of not watching CNBC from the first time I heard about being more successful with the t.v off than on. My experience watching, and with out lead me to believe for the time being I am better off with out it. I changed my mind on my short position on Google or at least realized most of the profit in the trade may be gone. I was able to exit this morning with a profit. GOOG will probably stagnate here and the move higher over time.
(Exited Position Neutral on GOOG updated 2/5/08) GOOG is going to continue to trade lower in my opinion. Selling will continue Monday as the stock is not as attractive to investors. Many may sell off the stock because it missed expectations and MSFT is buying YHOO. The Google team is talented and growing. Take a look at the conference transcript link at the bottom from Seeking Alpha.
BIDU is taking share in China and can take on searches in multiple languages. BIDU is going after the search market in Japan. The valuation is way too high given the uncertainty of future profits. Where ever there is profits competition is sure to rise up. I don't think its a stretch to say Microsoft entering the search market buying YHOO will seriously slow growth expectations of Google. http://www.cnbc.com/id/22947600/site/14081545?__source=yahoo%7Cheadline%7Cquote%7Ctext%7C&par=yahoo Nor is it a stretch that earning could deteriorate as a result of customers clicking less advertising as they become aware these ads are often low quality trying to sell something. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080201/google_ahead_of_the_bell.html?.v=1 I have been in and out of this stock short the past month, and putting my profits backs to work on the news that MSFT entering the search race buying YHOO. I think GOOG trades back to $450 sooner than later. The conference call was mixed. Google is working hard here is a link to the conference call. http://seekingalpha.com/article/62591-google-q4-2007-earnings-call-transcript?source=yahoo&page=3 Some interesting improvements in expanding different language searches, and a cost per sale option offered rather than a cost per click as a choice of options should boost ROI for advertisers. Growth in the U.K was only 5% and 9% in the U.S.
Larry Kudlow of CNBC negative on the market?
Larry Kudlow is still negative on the market; but, wants to believe in a summer rally. (Monday July 28th 2008)Kramer talked about news conference disclosing SEC policy enforcement of Short Selling rules already on the book to protect common Americans and assume people of the world. Stay vigilant Jim Cramer and thoughtful people around the world shall save the rest of the world!!!
Larry Kudlow is scared of the bond defaults (January 31st, 2008). At least he seems not his usual confident self. His audience is negative. $2.3 trillion municpal market around the country has systematic risk according to a guest. In my opinion the retirement system of obligations may make it impossible for stagnant areas to pay back the money at some point in the future, and lead to defaults as others recognize these risks. The problems of a pure focus on gr The market is surely going to trade lower tomorrow if the trend is still lower. Kuldow's guest talked of funding sources drying up with demise of MBI. Bull's argued derivatives in bonds bonds is where the value in MBI is . No-one really knows where we go from here. Pension funds have to hope this is bottom or they will have to sell to meet funding requirements causing a snow ball of selling.
He also talked about long time economist Pual Vulcur is backing Obama. Paul Vulcar an economist Larry thinks acts with good judgement will be helpful. I think Obama is another George Bush with distinct differences. Obama has some good values that will be helpful to all people around the world. With some good economists on his side maybe they can bridge the gaps. I think Hillary Clinton will deliver the better future. Sure makes me feel better being weighted short the market.
Market looks like it is trying to find places of good value, and avoiding places of high risk. OIH is up on spreading disruptions in Africa, and the Middle east. Possible up on the big snow storm in China. Some places of value I see buying in are AAPL, CALM, CMED, GLD, GS, ISRG, POT, and OIH. GOOG (Google) Seems to be selling off with investors looking looking to avoid the downside risk, and lock in profits. A bit tricky figuring out how much lower Google could trade. I have been a bit uncomfortable trying to trade, and make good decisions. I put some money into cash. I excited my short in BJS. Just have to keep working hard to find opportunity.
I can't imagine Google doing very well around the world because of the rise of competition in the space. It's advertising's fails to meet minimum standards of value in my opinion for the current stock valuation. I like Google as a search engine, and hope the corporation continues its success;but, the share price could go much lower.
The market is going lower in my opinion because of changes in business climate due to problems not being dealt with effectively. Be careful, market could go higher on the one week fed rate cut having influence, and another rate cut may be coming Wednesday. I am looking at CALM, GG, CMED, ISRG on my buy list.
My economic understanding leads me to believe stocks will be repriced lower because of current prospects for the world economy. The government and banks are showing signs of weakness. No concern or awareness of the rapid population growth of the world, and related risks that may stem from population growth such as over consumption of resources. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20080127/sc_livescience/humansforceearthintonewgeologicepoch.
People are capable of adding value, cooperation, and forgiveness. All people deserve clean water, electricity, food, fair treatment, internet, peace, protected boundaries, t.v.'s, and homes. Embracing these standards would be helpful to turn around the world. Yet, people continue to act disruptively. El Sadr threatening to re-engage in fighting after the cease fire ends. People from all influences need to come together to meet each others' needs. Security and good judgement is the best thing all people regardless of ideology can provide for one another. http://real-us.news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080128/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq;_ylt=AkS4MpGm1JqKwfb2qejan5RBXYh4 The world needs to use stored wealth to feed, protect, educate, and help all people find shelter, electricity, bathrooms, and maybe t.v. At the same time wealthy should be able to enjoy their wealth while expressing an understanding of others. Americans should not over consume or be scared of people around the world. Excessive profits can be taxed at higher rates. The U.S has historically had a back-loaded taxation on wealth a death to maximize growth. When the laws were made people had no idea how long a person could live or how much wealth could be created. Wealth needs to be passed on in smaller increments. Possible by creating passive grant ownership by the government in large corporations. Minimum standards for all people may be able to be met more appropriately. As a trader and for all the traders that just wanted to have a rewarding career its about value. Not the profits. If people make excessive profits because of unforseen world events. Governments' with more cooperative, stated, and transparent global welfare standards could add great value to the world. The governments of the world need to decide to work together and not let dogma get in the way. People want others to do well and people failing is very counterproductive because of multiplyer effects. Trade opportunities and transparent markets are most capable of reaching societies potential for prosperity creation. We need to work hard to build on previous gains from history. Society needs to bring security to people. We need to stop giving free checks to people, and let people earn the money they receive. World bodies need to bring in more regulators to make sure money at high levels around the world is distributed honestly and with good judgement. We do not want to fight endless wars. People like to trade and more traders will help provide liquidity to world markets. Trade thrives best when everyone is confident in each other and minimum standards are met.
Seeking Alpha is a great website. The site has lots of traders offering quality stock market information. I just read an article thats answers alot of questions about shorting stocks. The article suggest shorting QQQQ and SPY ETF's if you were goign to try and short a stock. I found the article very helpful.
CFC seems to be bottoming with the buy out of BAC. I swear BAC was just ducking personal loans it made and eliminating a tough competitor. I little more bullish on the pair as the real price with capital injections, buy outs, and frauds on the loose. Inflation actually arrived as war appears in the cards with Iran. I love Russia is my last comment) Russia believes it is on the verge of major technology development in the nano-technology group.
Still like a short position in GOOG with a major new business product out from MSFT offering cash to devloopers, programers, and the like who want to make money. At Dynamic Microsoft.
I short sold GOOG and then added to my position after listening to a guy on CNBC about declining searches and users not clicking ads. Not proud of that (Going to trade with the t.v off tomorrow, too easy to be manipulated) Still want to be short going into earnings. A lot of competition rising. http://biz.yahoo.com/cnbc/080125/22841725.html?.v=1 Wiclapedia is launching a search engine. BIDU is taking 80% of search es in China and just announced its launch in the Japanese market. Declining revenue per transaction around the world is not supportive of GOOG. Looks like a good pop to short. Not taking anything away from GOOG; but, the stock may be over valued. Bull market is making a case going forward with hope.
I am long CFC The corporation is a leader in the mortgage refinancing market and should rake in big profits with the increases in loan sizes to 125% of median home value in a community proposed by congress. BAC may a share price offer at $7.50 I believe. Stock should be pretty steady; but, could pop higher when application numbers increase.
Some interesting stocks around the world I dug up this evening I wanted to share. Amazing how much can improve in a day with good judgement. My favorites that I found were GFA, and UPL. Lots of others worth looking at.
Whats on sale in the stock market?
(Update July 11th 2008) The market appears to be oversold. Topstock blog recomended shoring XL and others stocks six months ago. The corporations that can survive this down turn may become buying canidates. I am liking XL an insurance stock with alot of assets and cash. XL will pay out a dividend of over 7% with XL plummetting in value over the last year.
I believe the market is trying to get where ever it needs to quickly, and the Fed's leader Bernanke is very aware of what is going on. Some assets were overpriced forward looking. Sustainability and surrounding morality issues are in my mind. A few stocks are tempting at current prices. I might buy CALM because it is oversold, starting to act well, and my favorite sustainable growth story. CMED and YGE look tempting to buy particularly with China's sell off Monday. All stocks may open lower making for a good entry point. Things in the world are getting more tricky with the sell off over seas. Trying to be careful. I wish I could of got into GS at $187 this past summer. $187 for GS now looks not as tempting. Too many people still want to buy into this market from my bear market point of view for stocks to stop declining.
On the other hand corporate America is healthy and stocks could rally when the Fed cuts rates. I just read an article from Ben Stein about the market not being a bad time to invest. http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/yourlife/62337;_ylt=ApROSGTguIHTte4UKci.aqa7YWsA Overseas markets are getting hit hard Monday on fears about the recession in the United States. U.S. markets are closed in honor of Martin Luther King.
Mcdermitt (MDR) a top infrastructure builder around the world looks to be a good value around current prices. Apple (AAPL) showed off a new micro laptop at Macworld. I thought it could becom the next big hit in a few years if they could get the price affordable for average consumers.
Getting started in the stock market is a hard thing for most people. My first two investments in the stock market went broke. I was drawn to a strong company with state of the art technology, and a cheap share price C.A.I. wireless. The company ended up doing very well and merging with a larger player in the market a few years latter; but, not before the stock I purchased was declared worthless. The second stock I invested in was Caldor a now out of business retailer. I invested because it was a penny stock and I had good memories of the company from when I was a little kid. Look to companies that can give your kids good memories; not, companies that gave you good memories. The world is ever changing and emerging opportunities can be found. Lesson to be learned is avoid penny stocks most of the time. Most penny stocks lose value and end up at zero. Hard fact to swallow; but, the truth. Don't try to make money right away or too much money. Price of stock is not important. If you find a top penny stock or I find one I will be happy to point it out. I don't know of a single penny stock worth owning currently. Don't focus on the cheapest stocks. A stock from 50 to 100 is double your money. As a stock going from 10 cents to 20 cents is double your money. However, the risks are totally different. A stock with a fifty dollar share price is very unlikely to go to 0. A stock with a 10 cent share price has a good chance of reaching 0 at some point in the future even if the technology is top notch. Investors in bonds will pressure the company by both short selling the common stock, and pressuring management to cancel the common stock to preserve the money of bondholders. Money, good judgement and hard work are all necessary to making more money. Good judgement, financial resources, and experience can only be accumulated with hard work and time. I have included links to helpful websited on the website in the blog role to keep you on top of market events. Be weary of fraud in small stocks. You can create a portfolio of stocks to watch at yahoo finance. Invest for fun first. Invest with no money on line. Develop your understanding of the market and inbiassed learning is more effective when you have no money invested. Stay positive! Some small stocks will publish lots of overly optimistic news for months, and then disappear leaving trusting investors broke. Stocks go up when people are buying and down when they are selling. It is too easy for a large investor to manipulate the small stocks. So find mid cap stocks going up if you must triple your money and expand your time frame for this to happen to longer periods of time. After a few years of investing you can invest in options, go to work for a company like Bright trading or invest in the futures market to get more leverage on your money. Without experience, education, hard work, and good luck you will lose money. The market rules may seem set up to defeat the new investor; but, they actually serve to protect you from being overly aggressive. Don't try to be the first investor to find a stock. Look for stocks that have earnings and revenue growth going forward. Look to stocks going higher in price, and stocks that experienced people are talking about. Try to enter top stocks on a pull back. Set up a stop loss price. A price you will get out if the stock moves lower. Carefully come up with a plan on how often you are going to trade, and how many stocks you are going to own. The trend following system I created can be used to start out or to come up with your own ideas on investing or trade. Talking to a financial planner may be appropriate if you want extra help and can afford it. Don't try to force things. Wait patiently to get in the right stocks at the right prices. Read any helpful books you can find. A book on technical analysis will be needed. A book on fundamental analysis would be helpful. The more books you read the more knowledge you will pick up. Stocks generally follow the economic cycle. We are at one of two places at the beginning of a bear market or end of a bull market. Tough time to make long or short term investments. You will need to be patient and look to find an industry that is going to be able to meet its earnings in any environment. Draw back of a margin account is you pay interest that can be hard to overcome in a challenging market. The benefit is you can look to short companies that you believe may be weak going forward. You will need two thousand dollars to open a margin account. Find a brokerage company that is well known, affordable, and meets your needs. I use Scottrade Securities.
Last month an article said this would be disastrous for the company when they were put on watch by Fitch as two chairman stepped down. The company has exposure to homeowners insurance among many other problems areas of the insurance business model. The company should have a hard time going forward. The limited time this company has had in the spot light over its exposure to the housing market indicates to me an opportunity to short unexploited. Company breaking out lower of a consolidation pattern. The argument against this trade is the company has alot of cash, earnings, and assets to offset the losses. Earning come out in early February and I hope will put a big dent in the share price.


Bryston BP-1.5MC Étage Phono pour les cellules MM et MC.
Bruit et autres influences non souhaitées sont réduits par une alimentation séparée (option). Si vous avez déjà un préampli Bryston BP-26 vous pourrez utiliser votre MPS-2 power supply. Également, les utilisateurs d'un préampli BP-20 / BP-25 peuvent connecter leur MPS-1.
Ce préampli phono BP 1.5 porte la garantie Bryston de 20 ans !!
En stock / En écoute.
The huge library of music present on vinyl represents an irreplaceable treasure. As such it becomes more important than ever to reproduce the music with the greatest faithfulness to the original recording.
The Bryston BP1.5 is a high quality, broadcast grade phono stage offering both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridge step-up capabilities. It features one pair of power supply input and outputs plus one pair of RCA inputs and outputs.
The BP 1.5 includes two different amplifier modes to accommodate both MM (moving-magnet) and MC (moving-coil) phono cartridges.
The moving-magnet mode comes factory set at 35 dB of gain, but can be adjusted with an inside jumper to 41dB gain. The moving-coil mode adds an additional gain stage to the MM stage with a step-up transformer. This step-up transformer has adjustments for gain as well. It can be set for 22.5 dB or 16.5 dB of gain. It is factory set for 22.5 dB as this will facilitate 90% of the MC cartridges available. The standard gain of 22.5 dB accommodates cartridges with outputs of less than 40 ohms impedance. The 16.5dB of gain is for cartridges of 40 to 150 ohm output impedance.
The Moving-magnet input capacitance switch is located on the rear panel and consists of a four element DIP (Dual In Line) switch and eight high precision capacitors. Four capacitors for the left and four capacitors for the right channel. This ensures the correct amount of capacitance across the Phono cartridge to provide accurate performance.
The Manual MUTE switch on the front panel can be activated at any time. This switch mutes the output and is indicated by the front panel LED turning from Green to Red.
Note: The BP-1.5 does not have its own power supply. It requires either the Bryston BP-26 / BP-25 / BP-20 Preamplifier or the MPS-2 / MPS-1 outboard power supply for operation.
