We trimmed our nails, emptied the dishwasher, put out the recycling, answered some emails from aggrieved prosecutors, so with not much else to do we are watching the Supreme Court for decisions. Birthright citizenship, the security of fed member Lisa Cook, and whether the founders really meant to have the fourth amendment enforced or if it was just a gentle reminder, are some of the pending opinions we are waiting for.
Market wise let us tell you how to handle Broadcom. It went parabolic (which is good and which we told you to buy before it did); the conference call Wednesday was just fine, but people are nit-piking, so the stock is taking a hit, which means we are a buyer ....tomorrow. Let it come in a bit more and settle, and then scoop up shares.
Google/Alphabet is issuing stock to raise a war chest to defend Gemini AI against the Space X and Anthropic IPOS. So what does this mean? There's going to be a few hundred billion in cash to spent on Cap-X over the next few years as the AI data center build out shifts into high gear. FYI Space X is Elon Musk's space AND AI company. It is not just rockets.
If you don't want to be on the front lines of the AI wars, then be like the shop-owners Grasshopper who sold the pik-axes and shovels to the 49er gold rush miners- and buy the stocks that Google, Anthropic, and SpaceX will be spending their billions with. On our list? Nivida anytime it's under 210, and Applied Materials in the 480s- which is today BTW. Fliers include the optical networkers like Credo- but you need a strong stomach to endure the 20-40 daily price swings. A more stable play is Dominion Energy (D) because those data centers, like the Family Courthouse, are going to need power.
You want one really speculative fun one? Check out FJet- and play around. It's a Space X, military, drone defense, kinda play. Very very speculative but it just might pay for that second home in the Carolinas if you pick up a few thousand shares and it hits.
Remember- invest as much as you can- you can always make more money.
And yeah, one of the three above mentioned pending Supreme Court decisions is farcical.

State v Pino starts next week.
Not covered on the blog yet but all kinds of sub plots going on and lots of public interest. Will make a good case study for my students.

Hi Rumpole - this is slightly (ok, a lot) off-topic, but I'm hoping you and your readers might enjoy a project I've been working on.
I just launched a podcast called In Camera: Hollywood Scandals, Legal Truths.
Each episode takes a real Old Hollywood scandal and puts it on trial — not the tabloid version, but the actual legal story: the charges, the courtroom strategy, the evidentiary gaps, and what the outcome tells us about how the justice system worked (or didn't) then and now. The first episode - the case of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle is out now. New episodes will drop monthly.
If it sounds like your kind of thing, give it a listen — and if you enjoy it, a quick review on Apple Podcasts (or wherever you listen) makes a real difference for a new show.
You can find it here:

And if you know someone who'd be into it, feel free to pass it along.
Thanks for the platform and for informing and entertaining us all these years. I hate to see you go, but new adventures surely await.
All the best,

Rumpole - I just placed my hopeful order with my brokerage investment bank for SPACEX. They opened the interest section online.
Do you think this is a smart move. I placed the order in my IRA retirement account and requested $100k in shares.
Pros versus Cons dear Rumpole?
Rump, thoughts on Space X going public?
You are a moron
Pino should have taken the misdemeanor plea. Big mistake.
Was there a misdemeanor plea offer?
Pino needs to be accountable.
3:58pm what are you talking about??
Yes on the misdemeanor
“Freedom for me now looks like waking up and not dreading my day. It sounds simple, but honestly, that was not my reality for a long time, and I don't take it for granted,” Claire Gregory
Every big IPO immediately has a huge sell off an goes way down....the people who are already in it are cashing in. Wait 6 months.
Why?
Mr. Pino certainly should have rushed to take a misdemeanor plea. I think maybe it would not have fully protected him from a later felony charge, but sure would've given him a LOT of protection.
He should take a plea now; Judge is amenable to family and other issues, victims' families might even be persuaded to go for a limited jail or prison time in a plea. On conviction: He won't even be out on bail awaiting sentencing or on appeal. Maybe lawyers' egos too big? I remember Steve Chaykin speaking about a plea taken by a commissioner client of his, after months of claiming innocence; he correctly and tactfully explained that things change.
Pino crying in court during openings seems very unlikely to work with the jury. He definitely should have taken misdemeanor plea and he should sit there and let his lawyers work bc regardless of whether it is that crying looks super fake. Idk if his lawyers approved that but I hope not, extremely counterproductive.
Had he pleaded, double jeopardy would have attached. The Supreme Court ruled on this exact circumstance.
why? It doesnt sound like anything he did was reckless. He very well could be acquitted.
Yeah that was shitty acting
Sounds like it was at least careless operation of a boat. The dude smashed a bunch of teenagers into a a channel marker during the day.
His lawyers have him right next to the box and they can easily see when tears are or are not coming out. Bad move.
You are correct sir. I worked for the most notorious investment banks during the heyday. The smart investors got a piece of the deal and acat’d out the next day.
