I Can Live With ‘Josh Shapiro’ (Over Kelly) As VP, BUT Very Unsure/Shaky About ‘Walz’.

Yes, indubitably, ‘Mark Kelly’ is my favorite. But, I understand the dynamics.

I DO count electoral votes. PA has 9 more than AZ! Not that much, but 2024 is going to be tight. Come November 9 electoral votes could make a huge difference.

Plus, I appreciate the midterm election risk in 2026 IF ‘Mark Kelly‘ is VP rather than a senator. This midterm consideration is a bummer. Irks me (no end) BUT I get it. We can’t afford to lose even ONE Senate seat. Wow.

I have also watched Shapiro on TV over the last few days. He is good. Impressive.

Not sure about Walz.

Yes, I will confess I know NOTHING about him. I was SHOCKED, today, to learn that he is only 60-years old! WOW. He looks OLD. I thought he was in his 70s. Not good. He also looks unkempt. His military record is an asset. But?

YIKES!

Did Stock Trading Platforms Really Crash, Or Were They MANIPULATED To SLOW/STOP Selling?

This was NOT RIGHT! This was not kosher. On ‘Twitter’ there are some very disgruntled customers. They appear to have lost a lot of money.

This had to have been devastating for some. Not being able to get to your accounts or sell stock … as the blood bath was happening. WOW. Not good.

I hope there is a Class Action suit. I am sure, in total, folks can probably point to BILLIONS OF LOSSES from lost trading opportunity.

Yes, I am also sure that there is UNREAD fine print saying that none of these firms guarantee UPTIME and that you are SCREWED if the trading platforms are down.

I am curious to see how this all unwinds. I will try to keep you posted. HOPE you were not one of the folks impacted this morning.
