Is the NYSE or Nasdaq larger? Any other US markets of note?
As you may have guessed, the ramp in tech stocks has helped propel the Nasdaq past the NYSE. Since 2008, the two have been the only primary listing venues in the US, together accounting for virtually 100% of the country’s public equities — worth more than $67 trillion, per data from the World Federation of Exchanges. The tech-friendly Nasdaq, which controlled less than a third of that in 2000, now commands more than half (52%), powered by Big Tech’s relentless rally. Texas’ p

Are more or less people running the NYC Marathon?
I took the liberty of doing some research. Below is an additional graph showing the increase in participation for marathons in the US over the same period. The graph stops in 2021 tracks the trajectory of the NYC race. This marks a 6% uplift on 2024 — which also broke the world record at the time — including ~2,400 more female participants. More broadly, with the exceptions of 2012 and 2020, when the race was called off due to Hurricane Sandy and COVID-19, respectively, the

How Hollywood lost it's monopoly? And it's profitability?
This is a great short explanation of how Hollywood went from producing 90% of the movies on the globe to a small fraction of that. In fact, most US movies not shot there anymore. It also reviews the factors that lead to the decline of the studio system.

TV anchor stabs mother to death?
First of all, I'm sick and tired of TV anchors murdering people. This is getting out of hand. On the other hand (hey that sort of rhymes) her mom was a real pain in the ass and an only average family therapist. Her own daughter proves that. Finally, it's a little rough working at Fox News so I kind of forgive Angela.

Which govs borrow the most (1 map)
The elephant in the room is China. While China appears to have a "normal" debt load when you include their shadow banking system, corporate and household borrowing the ratio goes up to a whopping 288%. Not good! Couple that with a massively overbuilt real estate sectors and a demographic crisis and ouch!!! The US has it's own runaway budget deficit which sadly compared to to the rest of the globe is pretty typical now. One reason for that is that prior to the pandemic intere

OMG, I can't eat Tuna. It's Salmon all day, every day. And I need to stop consuming Swordfish! Honestly, do the safe thing and have a Big Mac!

Does the FBI Director have a "hot" girlfiend?
First of all she's a talented artist and I will not demean her by calling her "hot". To objectify her stature that way is affront to women! On the other hand, I hate country music and while she's certainly err...attractive (sorry that was way out of line) I'd rather listen to Tammy Wynette. Actually, I'd rather listen to Pat Benatar.

Obama won't endorse Mamdani
So Obama joins Schumer in holding back. Of course AOC, Bernie and Eliz Warren are full "in". Kamala Harris, Gov Hochul, House Minority Leaders Jeffries and Rep Jerry Nadler have joined team Mamdani.

Trumps tells CBS I haven't gone "far enough" with ICE raids.
Do I think it's wise to deport hard working illegals who are contributing and paying taxes. No. In fact, most illegals who can't find work go back. On the other hand for all you folks who think Voldemort's actions are outragous, remember he promised as much during his campaign and got elected on a platform of border security and deportation. He's doing what he promised. Well sort of. He's doing it in large Dem cities while looking the other way in border states which are G

The best computer hack of all time!
I'm not usually envious of anybody, given I'm living the dream (& am a badass), but I must admit; I wish I did this. Some enterprising he or she hacked into the U Penn database and sent this outstanding piece of communication to the full cadre of faculity, employees, students and most importantly donors.

What's in that Voldemort trade deal with China?
This as the Dark Lord properly explains is a "massive win" for "us". To begin with, the list of stuff they agreed to is longer than the list of stuff we agreed to. Plus they're buying Soy Beans.

Did Trump's Nat Guard drop crime in Memphis this month?
As the Wall St Journal report earlier this week (see below), Memphis is one of the few large Dem controlled cities that's cooperated and worked with the Dark Lord to deploy Nat Guard troops. Some context. Memphis is the murder capital of the US with a homicide rate of between 38-49 homicides per 100,000 residents. That compares to about 7 for LA and 4.6 for the Big Apple. Chicago hovers around 20...also ridiculously high. Unlike those other big Dem run cities, Trump isn't lo
