Heard a technical 'GuRu' on Bloomberg while going to the great Rosetown [to get combine repairs...] Yesterday...

Could see Dow break down to 14,000... S/P500 1600... 200 day crossovers just triggered... real entertainment... the USfed...is this a giant practice run... or are these people in an 'artificial intelligence'... 3d 'virtual reality' Universe!!!

I was 20k Just west of Rosetown on the 'Back crossover' from Kerobert...

Man... did I get the crap scared out of me!

A full sized white Chev Utility van... coming towards me[he was west bound]... started with left wheels on my side of double centreline... then on my side... then to over half the van in my lane by the time he passed me at 100k... [I was doing 85k as blowing snow and road covered]

Went home by Bigger... enough of that insanity...

Glad my guardian angel was riding with me!!!!!!

Yahoo...It must be the 'New Math' everyone is using these days!!!

"Thank you for the memories Yahoo, it’s been quite a ride. With news today that Yahoo will not spin out the $32 billion stake in Alibaba it owns, Yahoo’s board and investors have basically pulled the plug on the rest of Yahoo. Instead, it will do the opposite, looking at spinning out its core business, and keeping Alibaba in place.

Consider this, Yahoo has a market cap of $33 billion. They own 10% of Alibaba, worth $32 billion. So how much is Yahoo’s core business worth outside of the Alibaba shares and how much would it fetch from private equity firms? Some analysts are pegging the number as low as $2 billion.

Marissa Mayer, the embattled CEO of Yahoo, issued the following statement:

“In 2016, we will tighten our focus and prioritize investments to drive profitability and long-term growth,” said CEO Marissa Mayer in a statement. “A separation from our Alibaba stake, via the reverse spin, will provide more transparency into the value of Yahoo’s business.”

So at this point the future of Yahoo and Marissa Mayer is up in the air. Most of the goals that came with the hire of Mayer have not panned out. Acquisitions like the $1.1 billion purchase of Tumblr haven’t proven their worth, and investments into original video content have led to a $42 million loss.

Mayer is the 23rd-best-paid executive on Bloomberg’s compensation ranking, which values equity awards at fiscal year-end."

Well everything is a risk but oil is below its break even price of production. The vertically inter grated companies have held up surprisingly well.

The demand slump hasn't been that bad.

The scary part is the worlds industrial slow down. It's not consumer driven. But logic says that may only be a matter of time.
