RFK Tanks, SQNS, DNC Soar August 25, 2024 SQNS Reviewed last week, SQNS tripled Friday, hitting $1.71, before falling back to $1.15 (up from $0.54). A friend who follows the company closely says this $200 million should leave them with more than $1 a share in cash net of debt and good prospects for future earnings. He thinks the stock could be $2 by year’s end and perhaps back to its $7 2021 high in a few years. DNC It was joyful. (These photos from the two conventions, ours on the left, theirs on the right, make an interesting contrast.) Kamala hit it out of the ballpark, as did the Clintons and Obamas — and Oprah! — and Jamie Raskin and Pete Buttigieg and so many others. Reverend Warnock! Doug Emhoff! (And, yes, A.O.C.) The must-watch 16 minutes, however, belonged to Minnesota Governor and high school football coach Tim Walz. Talk about heartland values! Friday Night Lights. The best of America, common sense, and common decency. A friend from Paris, Texas (pop. 24,500) told me that he had expected his parents, appalled by Trump, to not vote this year . . . but that — now that they’ve “met” Coach Walz — he expects they just may vote blue. Multiplied ten million times across rural counties, that’s huge. RFK From The New Yorker: What Does Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Actually Want? So much about this guy I had not known. From The Atlantic: RFK Jr. Was My Drug Dealer. From Gizmodo: . . . The kindest thing you can say about Kennedy’s endorsement of Trump is that it is a betrayal of everything he worked for during his career as an environmental lawyer. Even if many of Kennedy’s complaints about the Democratic Party are true, one thing that is inarguable is that the Democrats are light-years ahead of the GOP when it comes to protecting the environment. As such, endorsing Trump is unforgivable from the perspective of someone who authentically cares about the natural world. Trump notably rolled back more than 100 environmental rules and regulations and nominated a guy with dense ties to the Koch brothers and the oil lobby to head the EPA. Project 2025, the policy blueprint authored by the Heritage Foundation and a small army of former Trump officials, has plans to gut the EPA, defund multiple weather agencies, ban official use of the term “climate change,” and do a whole assortment of other terrible things . . . FOX A dozen White House Republican lawyers endorse Harris, according to FOX News. Even as so many former Trump appointees, like his former chiefs of staff and press secretaries, warn people not to vote for him. Do you know of any former Clinton, Obama, or Biden appointees — let alone former chiefs of staff or press secretaries — endorsing Trump?
