I’m back home in the USA. New York specifically.
It’s good to be home.
Nothing has changed…Donald Trump wants us to sell stocks, hate our neighbors and (eventually I assume) turn them in…and Verizon just bought Yahoo.
I love this line from Ben Evans:
Verizon, 1995: “this internet thing won’t be much. I bet we could buy both AOL and Yahoo for a few billion”
2016: “See? I told you”— Benedict Evans (@BenedictEvans) July 25, 2016
Marissa Mayer wrote a ‘reflecting’ blog post on Tumblr (Yahoo is only down $750 million on this investment so far or about 200 million per Marissa blog post) – here it is.
She mentions that Yahoo ‘changed the world’ TWICE in her letter. She had Trump people write this letter it seems.
Matt Levine at Bloomberg had a great recap of the deal.
And yes…I can’t stand the idea of Donald Trump as president of the USA.
I am as right wing as the most far right on certain issues and as liberal as the most liberal on certain.
The last time we had GOLD as the main color of a leader they were called Pharaoh’s.
I despise fear mongering as a strategy and Donald Trump can’t fix the stuff he is promising.
America sees this as red/blue on maps but I do not.
The stock market seems giddy which means politics/hate/fear mongering and the toss-up in the ‘polls’ of who will be President is not a factor right now. I find that most fascinating with the stock market being a lead indicator.
Back to work.
