Futures looking cloudy this morning. No shades needed. Ready, but not needed. Crude and Gold up slightly. Bitcoin down and hovering around the $7,000 What Now? mark. So much for President Xi mentioning block chain technology. Took some time for Bitcoin to figure out that it was not a part of what he was talking about. Challenged on CBS over the policy, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended the company's decision to not take down political advertising that contains false information. Not sure why the folks who are advertising false information get a pass and this falls on Facebook, but perhaps this is a discussion for the politics board? Kitty Hawk, the secretive flying car company that's bankrolled by Google co-founder Larry Page, has been folded into a joint venture company with Boeing named Wisk Aero. This daily Boeing news is brought to you by Boeing, of course. No WeWork news today? Thank you. ASLAN Pharmaceuticals has priced its public offering of 5,124,527 American Depositary Shares at $2.50 per ADS, for expected gross proceeds of ~$12.8M. Each ADS represents five ordinary shares of ASLAN. The stock is down 45% premarket after being up 36% yesterday. McDonalds's has entered the "Chicken Wars." I will leave the taste-testing to those who enjoy fast food. I have no interest in comparing McDonald's entry to those other chicken sandwiches that are offered. Some of China’s wealthiest tycoons steered billions of dollars into electric-car companies in order to fuel the country’s dreams of becoming a leader in the field. Now a reckoning may be looming as car sales slow and the government reduces subsidies for the nascent industry. That leaves the flagship companies of Jack Ma, Pony Ma, Hui Ka Yan and Robin Li facing an increasingly steep path to profitability on their bets that electric vehicles can be smartphones-on-wheels connecting passengers to other businesses. Their capital, along with dozens of startups raising $18 billion, helped inflate an electric bubble that now looks to be in danger of popping. I wonder if Tesla is reading this? Elon Musk continues to be excommunicado. Black Friday shopping lines weren’t the only queues frustrating people this past weekend. A number of Tesla drivers took to social media to vent about extremely crowded Supercharger stations that turned a promised fast stop into an hours-long slog to recharge during one of the year's busiest travel times. That's a shame. PG&E failed to properly inspect and maintain its transmission lines for years before a faulty line started the November 2018 Camp Fire, according to a new 700-page report from the California Public Utilities Commission. State investigators already had determined that PG&E equipment started the fire, which killed 85 people, but the new report goes further, alleging numerous serious violations of state rules for maintaining electric lines and specific problems with the upkeep of the transmission line that started the fire. No word on Berkshire Hathaway buying PG&E? Surprising. Snow removal continues in my neck of the woods. Good thing it was Cyber Monday yesterday and shoppers did not have to navigate the snowy conditions. I had to stop plowing to allow three deer to cross my driveway. Thought I would yield to the deer in this case. notes via user dcv.$CLF is down 12% after buying $AKS. Vertical integration good for both but bad for CLF shareholders in the near-term. $CLF, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. / H1 $AKS: $AKS, AK Steel Holding Corporation / H1 Warning: No trade deal, as expected. The Dec. 15 will pass with new tariffs in. The dump phase of the trump trade is back in play.
