It's Friday, lighten up, the stock market is up

I have always questioned whether Al Sharpton was really a preacher, since he has no church. 

So when I heard that Al Sharpton was the guest preacher at a nearby black church, I decided to check him out in person and see what it was all about. 
  
As I was sitting in a pew, Reverend Sharpton came up to me (I don't know why ……. maybe it was because I was the only white person in the Church). 
  
He laid his hands on my hand and said:  "By the power of Jesus the Lord All Mighty, and the power of God, you  will  walk today."

I told Reverend Al that I was not paralyzed. 
  
He came back later and laid his hands on me again, and repeated the same thing:   "By the power of Jesus the Lord Almighty, and the power of God, You  will  walk today. "

Again I told him there was nothing wrong with me. 
  
After the sermon I stepped outside.

And lo and behold, my car had been stolen.

No, it isn't a sad tale of a nymph sorority chick.

It's a dining establishment.

I have no idea when those chicken wings were originally cooked.

Zero.

Yesterday?

Last week?

Last month?

No clue, I'm just not that good at dating meals consisting of chicken wings.

I don't cook chicken wings except on a grill, fresh.

I seldom cook chicken wings, fresh, on a grill.

Without a doubt, those wings should have been credited to my credit card.

They were so nasty, so old, so tough, so dry, a coyote would have had a time scarfing them down.

To my TRADING pals...........listen up

 Key changes in the proposal:

• Eliminates the PDT designation entirely — No more counting day trades or the "4 in 5" trigger.
• Removes the hard $25,000 minimum equity requirement for day trading.
• Replaces it with real-time "intraday margin" rules — Brokers will monitor your account's risk throughout the day based on your actual positions and market exposure.
• Instead of a fixed $25k threshold, you'll be subject to standard maintenance margin requirements applied intraday. Brokers can block trades or require you to add funds/liquidate if your account goes into a margin deficit during the day.

This shifts from a rigid "you must have $25k" rule to a risk-based, real-time system that modern brokers can already handle with today's technology.

What This Means for Traders

Aspect	Old PDT Rule	New Intraday Margin System
Minimum Equity	$25,000 required	No fixed minimum (likely much lower, e.g. ~$2k depending on broker)
Day Trade Limits	3 trades/5 days if under $25k	No limits based on trade count
Monitoring	Based on trade count	Real-time risk calculation
Who it affects	Margin accounts only	Still margin accounts (cash accounts unchanged)

Positive for small traders: People with $5k–$20k accounts will be able to day trade more freely without restrictions or switching to cash accounts.

Potential downsides: Higher risk for inexperienced traders who could lose money faster with leverage. Brokers will still enforce margin calls and may have their own stricter house rules.

Current Status (as of April 14, 2026)

This is not yet fully effective. FINRA filed the proposal (SR-FINRA-2025-017), and the SEC has an approval deadline around today or April 16. Many sources expect approval soon, with an implementation period afterward (possibly weeks to months as brokers update systems).

The "BREAKING" post is likely reacting to the imminent SEC decision.

If you're a day trader, check with your broker for their exact timeline and new policies once approved. This is one of the biggest changes to retail trading rules in over 20 years.

TAX DAY, April 15

Had to pay bigly to the United States of America for the 2025 tax year.

Today, paid the first quarterly estimate for 2026, probably enough to put you in a Tesla.

I am positive with the money I pay, your neighborhood should see new hospice centers, Somali learing centers,  and more Medicaid and Medicare madness.   

The lack of accountability in government, state, local, tribal, and federal, is truly stunning, even to Elon Musk.   Accountability to the tax dollars you paid, and I paid.

Accountability to common sense, the rule of law, society at large.

Accountability to God.

The disgusting part of all of this money being turned over to the federal government, to be pilfered by Congressman and Senators alike, is that I can't send the funds, via wire, to people, agencies, departments, charities that actually need the money.   No, I have to send it to Big Brother, who then, disgustedly, decides how much to skim for their own benefit.  

No one goes to jail.  No one is charged.  No one is arrested.   No one does time.  No one pays it back. 

This is how it works ladies and gentlemen, for those of you in Wagoner, Wounded Knee and Twin Buttes.  It's too easy.  It's how your tribal council members work.  

A foreigner steals millions via fraud.  

The Feds tell America: "Oops, we lost him, dang."

An American taxpayer fails to pay taxes in time, for a million reasons, maybe he lost a child, lost his marriage, lost his business, because he’s broke and just doesn't have the money to pay on April 15. 

The Feds:  "We kicked the front door in at 3 a.m., tackled his half asleep wife, shot his dog, and dragged him outside in his underwear!"

It's like Americans aren't even there.     The printing presses continue.  The devaluation of the dollar only goes one way.

American monetary policy in decline.   The fraud insures it.

FOR SALE

One NATIVE AMERICAN Privilege Card.

White Earth Chippewa.

Reason for selling:    Am 72, never been used.    Hasn't done anything for me.  No free college, no free food, no free housing, no free anything.

I was awarded a couple hundred dollar treaty settlement in the 1960's.   Dad took the money and put it toward buying a Polaris snowmobile, 20 horsepower.

Would prefer cash for the card but willing to do an even trade for a widely used VICTIM CARD which seems to be widely accepted and with much better benefits.

Did not take any PPP money or Covid money.

Am clot-shot free, a pureblood, so at least I got that going for me. 

Elon Musk on X talking straight up................

"The Biden administration actively flew illegals into America with no vetting of their violent criminal past into America and paid for their flights via NGOs. 

This is a war crime. Mayorkas and his buddies orchestrated this and should be on trial for their diabolical deeds."

Have a Great Weekend America!

Schools of prey fish species moved close to the shoreline with the strong surf this week and made for awful easy pickings by these brown pelicans.  Their ability to catch a fish on about every dive was amazing.

I started my Wall Street training at the venerable white-shoe firm of Kidder, Peabody, Inc. in 1982. 

Al Gordon, the Wall Street maverick who left Goldman Sachs to buy Kidder and move it to New York City was a distinguished lecturer in our training class in 1983.   He was a Republican, a learner, a runner, frugal, and was an optimist.  Just make the calls he told us.

He lived to age 107.  Started running marathons in his 80's.

A legend.  Infectious smile, unassuming, slight build, he just never quit.    

NFL Statistics from GROK

The USA Today NFL arrests database (the most comprehensive public tracker, covering arrests, charges, and citations for offenses more serious than routine traffic violations) shows roughly 1,100–1,107 incidents involving NFL players since 2000 as of early 2026.

Exact counts of unique players (vs. total incidents, since some players are arrested multiple times) are not directly published for the full period or the last 10 years, but historical analyses provide context:

• From 2000–2014: About 574 unique players were arrested out of ~8,454 who played in the NFL during that span (around 6.8%), with 769 total incidents (131 players arrested more than once).
• Broader estimates since 2000 often cite 650–800+ unique players arrested across ~850–1,100 incidents, depending on the exact cutoff and whether repeats are double-counted.

PAM BONDI, I miss anything?

 

APRIL 2026 Looking Back

I couldn't get hired as a stockbroker when I first moved to San Diego in 1979.

Needed sales experience they said.   Brokerage firms were reluctant to hire me, I didn't come from money.

I took a path with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.

I had no family with money.   No friends in San Diego to sell to.  Just a rotary phone and the phone book.

It was a tough sell in the early 80's.  Selling "death" insurance to the living on a sunny day in San Diego!

Prime rates were in the 15-20% range.  Most regular savings accounts paid double-digit returns.

Mortgage rates fluctuated from around 12–13% early in 1980 to near 16–17%  then settled in the 12–15% range.  In 1981, they climbed higher, with weekly averages reaching as high as 18.45%–18.63% in October (the all-time peak for 30-year fixed rates).

Selling a whole life policy was a tough sell.

Best sales experience I had in my life.

Only toughened my resolve to move up. 

I wasn't going back and I wasn't going down.

One way.

Dream big.

As General Powell said, "Optimism is a force multiplier".

Spring 2026 IYKYK

 

America 2026

Democrats have Chuck Schumer.

America has Elon Musk.

It’s a culture issue.

And culture doesn’t just appear out of thin air, it’s shaped, reinforced and sustained over decades.

What you’re seeing didn’t start yesterday.

It traces back to policies and incentives that began shifting in the late 50s and 60s, when Democrats stepped in and started replacing structure that used to exist in the home and community.

When you remove accountability…
When you reward dependency…
When you weaken family structure…

You don’t get stability.

You get exactly what we’re seeing now.

And let’s be honest…

The people who bought into the idea that government dependency was the answer are the ones who got hurt the most.

Because once the system replaces responsibility, Democrats knew this, they knew that they could hire gatekeepers that are black that will keep blacks on the plantation. They knew if they created legacy welfare that people would be proud of taking money from the white man, but they’re not taking money from the white man. They’re taking money from Americans.

They have chosen to be barnacles and parasites on our system. We will live for free they say. Think about it if you were a democrat and you could give someone $1200 a month to sit on their porch in the summer, and have more Democrats.

Procreate more Democrats and they would be enslaved to you for the next 200 years. It doesn’t build strong individuals.

It produces chaos, confusion, and generational damage.

That’s outcomes.

From Government policy and until people are willing to say that plainly, nothing changes.

Mule deer hunting in Nevada's Unit Group 221-223 (often referred to as a combined management unit group) is a popular draw for quality hunts in the eastern part of the state. This area is known for its rugged, largely public lands with good populations of mule deer, along with opportunities for elk and antelope in the same regions.

Location and Access

Units 221, 222, and 223 cover portions of White Pine, Lincoln, and Nye Counties in east-central Nevada. Key features include:

• Major ranges: Schell Creek Range, Egan Range (including South Egan Range Wilderness), Mount Grafton Wilderness, Far South Egans Wilderness, Fairview Range, West Range, Ely Springs Range, and North Pahroc Range.
• Valleys and areas: Sagebrush valleys, mahogany canyons, Mule Shoe Valley, Cave Valley, and others.
• Access: Primarily public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Eastern and southern parts are reachable via U.S. Highway 93 (from Ely south to areas like Crystal Springs). Western access via State Route 318. Numerous dirt and gravel roads (maintained and unmaintained) provide vehicle access, but designated wilderness areas prohibit mechanized transport (no wheeled game carriers or mountain bikes—pack out on foot or with animals).
• Much of the land is open to public hunting, but hunters should check for any private inholdings or restrictions.

Habitat and Deer Behavior

The unit group features high-elevation summer range in the northern portions (Schell Creek and Egan Ranges) with basins and reliable water sources. Vegetation includes sagebrush, pinyon-juniper woodlands, mahogany, and thicker cover at lower elevations.

Deer movement is heavily influenced by weather and elevation:

• Summer/early fall: Deer at higher elevations.
• Migration: Triggered by cooler temperatures, snowfall, or dropping conditions—deer move downslope and southward.
• The area experiences monsoonal patterns (late July–mid-August precipitation can green up vegetation and shift distributions) and prolonged drought effects in some years. Late fall/winter brings most precipitation (rain/snow).

Hunting Seasons in October

Nevada's mule deer seasons vary by weapon type, and Unit 221-223 often has split or specific dates. October typically covers the transition from muzzleloader to rifle seasons, with deer behavior shifting.

From recent NDOW data and patterns (seasons can change annually—always verify current regs via ndow.org):

• Archery: Typically August 10–September 9 (pre-October, higher elevations).
• Muzzleloader: Often September 10–October 4 (or similar; deer still higher up).
• Any Legal Weapon (rifle): October often includes early to mid/late segments. Examples from recent years show splits like early October 5–20/31 and late October 21–November 5, or full October periods (e.g., October 5–31 or October 21–November 5 in some cycles). Mid-to-late October rifle hunts are common.
• October hunts generally align with the rut approaching (November peak in many Nevada units), post-velvet bucks, and potential migration.

October-specific notes (from NDOW biologist recommendations):

• Early October: If warm, focus upper elevations of Schell and Egan Ranges. Bucks may bed in thick vegetation after shedding velvet—glass early/late from high points.
• Mid-to-late October: Cooler weather/snow pushes deer lower and southward. Target benches on southern Schell Range, Mule Shoe Valley, lower Fairview Range, West Range, Ely Springs, and North Pahroc Range. Deer use thick pinyon-juniper—harder to spot, requires patience and glassing.
• Deer can be transitional in early October (migrating but not yet grouped), so scout summer range first, then move south if needed.
• Strategy: Glass from vantage points at dawn/dusk. Prepare for hikes and long pack-outs in wilderness/high country.

This is considered a quality unit—often described as one of Nevada's better mule deer areas with good buck potential (though draw odds and harvest vary yearly). It's draw-only for non-residents (and often competitive for residents), with limited tags.

For the most accurate/current details (including exact 2026 season dates, quotas, draw odds, and any updates), check the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) website: ndow.org. They publish the Big Game Seasons & Applications booklet annually, plus hunt information sheets for Unit 221-223 (e.g., the mule deer PDF with biologist notes). Forum discussions (e.g., Monster Muleys, Rokslide) often share hunter experiences from past October hunts in this unit, noting good bucks but requiring effort due to terrain and movement.

If you're planning a hunt, scout ahead—October weather can vary widely, affecting migration timing. Good luck!

CONGRESSIONAL FATIGUE

Congress won’t codify the DOGE cuts.

Congress won’t safeguard taxpayer funds.

Congress won’t pass election integrity legislation.

Congress won’t police its own members.

Congress won’t expose their own slush fund payouts for sexual misconduct claims.

Congress won’t hold judges accountable for their political activism on the bench.

Congress won’t allow Trump to have recess appointments.

Congress won’t prohibit their own insider trading.

Congress won’t pass term limits.

Congress won’t put American interests ahead of their own.

Congress won’t reopen the government despite the uptick in terrorist attacks and travel disruptions.

Retirement Wake Up

Retirement I am finding is a million different things to a million different people.

The majority of Americans seem to be accepting of their physical decline and don't want to do anything to change.  They want to accept their decline.  They decide to stop working at their health.

Many, pop a few vitamins, chew a few pills, sit all day, watch the commercials and think about the old days.

They decide they don't want better.   They don't want change.  They don't want to work at the size of their gut or the size of their ass. They think sweating is being outside on a hot day in July.

Frankly, they feel like hell.  It's not their belly.  It's not the waist.  It's not the flab.   It's not the lethargy.

For sure it's not the genetics.

It's their standards.  It's what they want.

It's what they want to live with daily.

It's what they want to accept.

Do this if you want a better retirement.

Figure out what you want to look like, feel like, and act like in your retirement, preferably before you retire.   

And then, just like Nike, just do it. 

Stop the excuses, toss out the pills, eat healthy food, exercise, walk, lift some weights, and see what might happen in a few months.

Those needless doctor visits, where they want you to come back soon for more doctor visits, followed by more medicine, to get you to go to this specialist, followed by another round of that medicine, with a follow-up in another few weeks, and on and on and on it goes.

The circle jerk of American health-care.

Is that what you wanted for your retirement?

After seventeen incredible years, my latest chapter at Tesla has come to a close. Words won’t do justice to how fulfilling the experience has been, but I’ll try anyway: Tesla barely survived Christmas 2008. I started a few days later in our Finance team, under an ongoing “Tesla Deathwatch”. I slept under my desk in San Carlos, CA at least once, and I wasn’t the only one. There are many companies with hard-working and talented employees, but few have the level of commitment and collaboration of the Tesla team. In retrospect, this should have been an obvious predictor of the successes that would follow. This is as true today as it was in 2009.

To my former Finance team: You are heroes within a company full of heroics, given the full-body workout that is your daily job. Take an Accounting or Finance textbook off the shelf and flip to a random page - Tesla is undoubtedly manifesting the underlying concept in the real world. From selling hardware and software under various business models, managing assets of all types (including digital ones), to pursuing continuous investment into an ambitious future throughout the world, you make the impossible look easy. To my colleagues across the rest of the company - I am grateful for the time that you have spent to educate me, including during my stints outside of the Finance team. You have started with one of Tesla’s strongest advantages - the strongest talent across engineering, manufacturing/operations, and customer-facing functions - and have turned it into an unstoppable force via your “one team” attitude. For me, late-night sessions on topics ranging from the physics of a brake rotor to the training of a neural network proved more valuable than any classroom experience that came before, and made the company stronger as a result. Going to work is not supposed to be this much fun.


@elonmusk

A heartfelt thanks for your endless love of humanity, and for demonstrating the power of thinking from first principles at all times, about all things. When Abundance is achieved and money ceases to have meaning, these lessons will be the most valuable commodity in our economy. To the outside world, who may not have experienced the above first-hand: Remember that Tesla’s mission is so ambitious and complex that any narrative about the company is naturally an oversimplification. Seek the truth about the company at all times. And support it in any way that you can! There are few higher callings/better uses of your time.
