Mark Zuckerberg Says White House Was ‘Wrong’ to Pressure Facebook on Covid-WSJ
As you may or may not know, we are launching a politically neutral ETF in September. The idea is that companies that stay out of politics, left or right, should do better than companies who's focus is on anything other than making money. We have some data to back that up as well. Looks like Zuckerberg wants to move META to politically neutral. Coincidentally, showed up on two of my models as a possible long entry today. One would trigger if it drops 2%, the other at 4%. Looking at the chart prior to this move it looks double toppy though, but could find support at the 20 day EMA or 50 day MA.

Why SAP is doubling down on DEI commitments in the face of a wider industry backlash-diginomica
I actually really do like SAP, think it is going to be one of the behind the scenes winners from AI. Hope they don't mess it up.

Kamala's campaign demands seated debate, with notes, for Sept. 10 ABC event: report-Post Millennial
"The Harris camp, after having already agreed to the CNN rules, asked for a seated debate, with notes, and opening statements. We said no changes to the agreed upon rules."

Knew this was coming but Trump announced that Tulsi Gabbard will be joining his campaign

Democratic pollsters have a warning about Kamala Harris’ lead-Politico
Here at the Democratic convention this week, some in the party’s professional class are trying to tamp down the exuberance. Officials with the top pro-Harris super PAC said their polling “is much less rosy” than public surveys. Other Democratic pollsters noted that — even if their polling is right — Trump still maintains a lot of advantages.

Climate Change
RFK Jr. had a real interesting interview with Tucker yesterday, would urge you to watch it. One of the things he talked about was the climate change movement and how fixated it is on carbon. Never heard him go into that before but was fascinating. Exxon still expects fossil fuels to make up the majority of energy market in 25 years-CNBC
Market
The market sold off a bit yesterday. Bad earnings out of PDD contributed to worries about China and we probably saw some profit taking in NVDA ahead of earnings on Wednesday. I still believe NVDA earnings are the key data point this week, nothing else much matters.
Everything Else
Huge believer you always have to have an eye towards the future. Long time readers know that I am a big believer that AI is going to be huge, and that we are only in the early innings. With anything like this you have the leaders, and then things spread to all the other stocks. As much as I hate the weight loss drugs I cannot ignore that there is some huge potential. Outside of LLY and NVO there are bound to be other winners. Lucky for me I realized what the food companies were doing 25 years ago, and at age 55 I'm in the best shape of my life and would have to try hard if I wanted to gain weight. Anyone who hasn't seen Tucker's interviews with Calley Means and then with him and his sister should watch them.
