    Well the news is good, totally unexpected good news for the Judge ruled in favor of AT&T to buy Time Warner media company, with no concessions. So the price is down today on AT&T for its debt it will carry.

    So I took the opportunity to celebrate the "good fortune" of AT&T growing, to sell 200 shares of GSK at 41.30 and with the proceeds plus excess cash, buy 260 shares of AT&T at 32.83.

    Personally, myself I am not much avid or a fan of media companies. But then I must admit, I watch quite a bit of television, as entertainment, even as education, ongoing education, especially PBS. So, if that were cut out of my life, I would feel
    miserably deprived in a large way. I often see this ad on PBS about Lyndon Johnson waxing real eloquent, and never realized as I was growing up a teenager that LBJ ever waxed eloquently about "What hath Man Wrought"-- ... we have an appetite for the
    spiritual, enrich the soul, more than the material goods and services... So, LBJ hit a home run there.

    And we can get in touch with our spiritual with some TV programs. I remember the excellent series of All Creatures Great and Small, and especially for me in science, the series of Cosmos, and the series of The Mechanical Universe.

    So, good day yesterday and today, God Bless America.

    Now, only if USA joins with EU+UK+Canada+Australia+Japan+India as one supernation will I be super happy. Geopolitics of the future, is all the good guys have to get together as ONE, for that is how we stop the bad guys. Make the Good guys a overwhelming
    force on any bad guys.

    And just the opposite of easing sanctions on North Korea, just the opposite, where the USA+EU trade only amoung themselves, let the bad guys stagnate. Never trade with China or Russia, Iran, North Korea.

    Economic sanctions is how we "move the world" into the good way, goodness. And by joining as one supernation, we weaken the bad guys until they beg to join the good guys.

    So, yesterday was North Korea news, more than AT&T, but sadly, what we should be doing is at the previous day with G7 summit or was it G6 in Canada, what we should be doing their is total Harmony and joining with one another to form SUPERNATION of EU +
    US + UK + Canada + Australia etc etc, and trading only amoung ourselves-- the good guys. The greatest evil of the 20th century was to trade with bad guys-- China, that allowed them to become, perhaps, the top country, displacing the USA.

    So with North Korea-- and let us be totally honest, North Korea is China, for China and North Korea is one and the same.

    The missile program of North Korea is just Chinese missiles hauled into NK.

    So, what should have happened in this past week, is at G7 in Canada, the US and allies should form a Supernation, that trades only amoung itself, no tariffs, total open borders of its countries. Exclusion of outside countries. And have no trading with
    bad guys, or if trading, steep tariffs.

    We gave China its number 1 status as economic powerhouse, started by Nixon, whereas, if we had not done that, China to this day, would still be mostly agrarian society. And North Korea is just playing the USA as one gigantic big fool. So what NK gives up
    its nuclear sites and missiles, so what. If NK wanted missiles and warheads, it just has to make a telephone call to Beijing and they railroad truck in whatever advanced missiles Pyongyang asks for.

    Why is it, why is it so so hard for the people in the West to realize that North Korea and China are one and the same. It is like thinking Hawaii is a separate individual country from the USA. Hawaii is USA, just as North Korea is China.

    So, what difference does it make if North Korea destroys all its nuclear and missile weapons, the next day, very next day, it can get 10X the supply and more by calling up Beijing and asking "Dear China, please send us 10 times more missiles tomorrow."

    So, what needs to happen, is the Good Guys, need to start thinking properly. We do not do tariffs on other good guys. We join together in one huge SUPERNATION, and trade only with ourselves. We force the bad guys into economic oblivion, and in that
    manner, we "tame them". So that they will want and desire and become a "good guy nation and join us".

    Those are the Marching orders of the USA for the future, and near future, starting now.

    Forget about daily inspections in North Korea, and easing of trade sanctions. Forget that crazy policy. For what we really need to do is form SUPERNATION, and no trade with any bad guys.

    That felt so good, earlier today that I made a repeat of the same. I sold 200 GSK at 41.06 and with the proceeds bought 250 AT&T at 32.44.

    I am happy with my portfolio mostly of telecoms and of pharma. I like the pharma arena of actually making medicines that fight cancer. In the decades past, pharma was mired in "crazy drugs" of cholesterol and male libido b.s. viagra. Hopefully they
    turned the corner and are doing actual health medicine-- cancer. Now I long for the day that pharma does human cloning. For the world needs incentive to control human overpopulation. And the best incentive of all-- no children; we make you sterile; then
    have a clone.

    We have got to control human overpopulation for it will kill us all. And cloning is a key motivation.

    Alright, today I saw AT&T down to 31.81 for no good reason at all, perhaps the debt in acquiring Time Warner. Yet VZ was up a bit to 48.57.

    I remember some decades ago where AT&T and VZ were hovering together at the price of $23. to $25. where one week VZ was higher, weeks later AT&T was higher. But that was a long time ago. Nowadays VZ is around $50 and T is mostly around $35 for years and
    years now.

    Today I sold 100 VZ at 48.57 and with the proceeds bought 150 AT&T. This is the classic, very classic switch campaign. You have two great companies stock, and you buy the cheapest of the two. You wait and wait and one day, you see you can have 150, when
    you have just 100. Then you switch out of one to the other. You wait another decade when you switch of 100 AT&T and be able to buy 150 VZ.

    That is how switch campaign Von Neumann game theory works.

    Alright, yesterday I opened my account and was surprised to see some dividend cash from Glaxo, enough to buy 30 more shares of AT&T since T is so beaten down in price, and today went ahead and bought 30 more AT&T at 31.93. They are probably reeling from
    debt in their purchase of Time Warner, but given a year or less will probably be bouncing back to $40.

    Well, in the past several days, AT&T has fallen because it is trying to digest its recent purchases of satellite TV and media giant Time Warner. I remember in childhood I loved Bugs Bunny cartoons, the Warner Bros. production. So, AT&T is digesting its
    recent acquisitions and this is expected. So today I had a few cash on hand to buy 30 more shares, but unfortunately I bought them early in the day at 29.90, but T fell all the way to 29.10, but, take it all in stride. Everytime I purchase shares and the
    next dividend comes up with those shares "working for me" by added dividends, I no longer care what price I bought them. For they are now "Working for Me".

    With excess cash bought 20 more of AT&T at 28.70 per share. Now some would criticize me for buying such small lots. But to me, excess cash is the worst, unless I invest it, and the commissions are so very low these days, that I truly do not mind them at
    all. The way my mind works on investing is the quarterly dividend, so when I have excess cash, before the quarterly dividend ex date, I invest and then when the dividend comes out-- it is all "old water under the bridge" and think nothing of the price I
    paid nor the commission. Because the dividend on the 20 more shares is my "investment working". That is the way I view investing-- it is now working for me, and forget about whether the price was good or not, for I see today that AT&T was down a further
    34 cents to 28.31, and, I really do not care, because when the dividend comes out in February, well, all is happy and sweet for the investment is working for me.

    Several days ago I opened my account and saw 2 shares of Alcon. Never heard of it before, and realized it was a spinoff of one of the companies I own. Last time this happened was when Verizon spun off something. I was surprised to see that Novartis spun

    Boy, I really feel sorry for those who own Boeing stock. That how one mistake like that can cost a company. So, the big lesson there is, no matter how important a company is to world economy, it is always vulnerable to this or that. Much of the drug
    companies, pharma, for the past 30 years was in this situation of lawsuits, lawsuits lawsuits, but what saved the drug companies is their bunching together and lobbying. This can not help Boeing for there is only a few players in aircraft, so the way out
    for Boeing is by the US government stepping in to save them from lawsuits. I recently wrote a Kindle Amazon book of the stockmarket and in that book I wrote that my playing is no advice to anyone, because, as we can so easily see from Boeing, all stocks
    are vulnerable.

    Alright I had a tiny bit of excess cash and was waiting to buy something real cheap, like AT&T at $34 again. But then along comes this Elliot Management Fund (some would say a corporate raider) that buys a billion dollar stake in AT&T pushing the price
    up to 38.28 for today. And looking around at my other stocks, they are not cheap. I was hoping that GSK would drop below 40. but was at 41. today. So, I decided to grin and bear it and buy AT&T at 38.28.

    There is the possibility that Apple, Amazon or Google or even Facebook will look at AT&T and buy it all, lock stock and barrel, all of AT&T. Because when you think about it, AT&T is the foundation of computer communication, just as a concrete floor is
    the foundation of a building.

    Alright today I had some excess cash and with the proceeds bought 200 more shares of AT&T at 38.90. That is high prices from what I was used to paying in the past, but looking at other stocks, AT&T is still the brightest and cheapest stock around.

    Alright today I had some excess cash and with the proceeds bought 20 more shares of AT&T at 37.25. It is probably bad in investing to have "just plain numbers as a goal". I have a goal of reaching 30,000 by the end of this year.
