    Alright with this worldwide pandemic, I decided to rearrange the portfolio, where I sold 1700 shares of VZ at 51.03 and sold 10 shares of NVS at 71.25 and sold 200 shares of GSK at 32.07. With the proceeds I bought 3300 T at 36.50 and bought 240 T at 26.

    On a day like today, it is nice to have some diversity in playing the Von Neumann Optimal Strategy. However, I just did not have enough diversity.

    Today I managed to increase wealth shares by 31110 - 29480 = 1,630.

    In other words 1630 shares more than yesterday.

    This is classical Von Neumann Optimal Strategy-- relative values, and all I need to do now, is wait for AT&T to rise above VZ and buyback VZ.

    Verizon holding up well and Glaxo #686 Optimal Strategy

    Now let me say that I was on a mission to the Moon and stay there or to Mars and stay there. And the only information coming to me from Earth is the price of the telecom company Verizon. That was the only information coming to me in outer space having
    departed Earth on 1 January 2020.

    Well, I would say nothing "out of the ordinary" was happening on Earth, because well, Verizon has stuck around 50 to 60 dollars a share for decades now. And during the covid-19 pandemic, well, VZ is still 55, or 56, as if nothing abnormal in the finance
    markets.

    Of course, if I had been in most every other stock, I would sense tumult in the markets.

    And, even, there are some winners in the pandemic -- Gilead with its remdesivir.

    Glaxo, I hope, because I have some shares, will come up with its own medicines. And, well, Glaxo is a traditional powerhouse on viruses with its Wellcome labs of the past. They are doing well.

    This is now September 2020 and the pandemic is raging forward. They forced kids back to school can only increase the infection rate. My home state of South Dakota was listed in the past weeks as the highest infection rate per capita, and today looking
    saw it ranked 3rd in the nation.

    I do not see the reason for school openings in the middle of a pandemic, and what for? Really, I mean to rush kids back to school to learn fake math of ellipse a conic when it never was, that 10 OR 4 = 14 in the error ridden Boole Logic, that never a
    geometry proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and that physics and chemistry and biology teaches the electron is 0.5MeV when no hydrogen atom can exist with angular momentum composed of proton = 938MeV, electron = 0.5MeV. The existence of hydrogen
    atom requires proton = 840MeV, electron= muon 105MeV.

    And so we rush kids back to school to be indoctrinated with fake science, and all to risk being infected???

    28.74 at the moment.

    I heard in the news last night that President Donald Trump was infected with covid-19 and is self quarantining. I do hope, if his condition gets worse and bad, that he jumps into a MRI scan machine set at 254nm to dis-inable a pocket of the virus, and
    thus the immune system can wipe out the rest of the viruses. A treatment that is a helluva lot better than a ventilator. I am still voting for Biden for the USA needs to join up with EU as one superpower nation, able to combat China+ Russia. We need a "
    amiable guy as president" not a combative-- no plan guy like Trump.

    Will Verizon end up buying AT&T due to pandemic devastation #691 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory.

    There is the question of having a negative earnings per share and the ability to pay dividends.

    There is the question of AT&T's debt with Direct TV and Time Warner.

    Last year AT&T was battling a corporate marauder.

    But suppose some other company offers to buy AT&T, maybe even a foreign telecom, like the Japanese telecom.

    Then, would Verizon come in and buy out AT&T? Of course government regulators would step in.

    Is AT&T too big to be bought out and too much regulated to be bought out?

    If I were writing this article 20 years ago, I would have thought AT&T would buyout Verizon, not the reverse of today.

    It goes to show, how "debt" can be fatal flaw in business strategy. And I would have thought that Verizon, 20 years ago was more apt to make a mistake of debt, rather than AT&T.

    So, what starts this avalanche on AT&T? Is it some telecom such as T-Mobile (Sprint) making a offer, or some smaller telecom company. Or perhaps even a tech giant like Google, or Facebook offering to buy a telecom AT&T. And where the situation ends up
    being where Verizon enters the fray.

    With excess cash today and reading of a huge stake bought in Verizon over their 5G, and seeing the restructuring of AT&T's Direct TV. So I bought 30 AT&T at $28.00 per share.

    With excess cash today, I bought 290 shares of GSK, Glaxo and I need a bit of diversity, as I am well over 95% invested in telecoms, so a bit of diversity is long past due. You always need some diversity, but not too much. Diversity is like the seasoning
    and flavoring and combination of foods. Such as tonight I flavor my baked potatoes with a Italian spices and garlic salt and add cottage cheese to my slice of pizza. In Von Neumann strategy, you need several companies to play one against another, and
    that is the diversity mix. Sometimes you find yourself steeped high in one company, but that is only waiting time to switch into the others.

    So today I was thinking that the Glaxo drug maker in a time of a pandemic is too depressed low in value at $37 a share. I had bought the bulk of my shares of GSK some years ago at $35. And this is unreasonable to have a premier drug company so low at
    this time. Hence I bought 290 more shares at $37.59 per share. Normally on a day like today I would buy more telecom, and especially as they roll out their 5G, but because of 5G roll-out and the focus on telecoms, that Glaxo was a better buy today.

    The best investors, always look for the cheapest premier companies for that is the mechanism of Optimal Strategy Von Neumann Game Theory.

    Good job AT&T of unloading Time-Warner & thanks for the new shares DISCA// sold 190GSK & bought 250 ATT #693 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory

    Total share-wealth-units last reported which was 4May2021 was 32,480, thus a gain of 60.
    And total share-wealth-units today 32,540 , and today is 20May2021.

    Back on 4May, AT&T was too pricey, over $32, but GSK was cheap, still at $37 thereabouts. So today I switched out of 190 shares GSK selling 190 at $39.06 and with the proceeds bought 250 AT&T at $29.58 per share.

    It is all over the news, that AT&T is unloading its media business and getting back to its basic core-telecom. And it should not be any surprise to anyone that such needed to be done as we can clearly see that 5G network, 5th generation network is costly
    and should be the main focus of all telecoms, not out on a buying spree of unrelated business.

    If AT&T had not unloaded Time Warner, they run the risk of Verizon surpassing AT&T in its core business-- telecom. AT&T teaches us a grave lesson-- do not buy anything that places in jeopardy the core business, and drains the company mired in debt. And,
    to me, since I closely watched AT&T versus Verizon for over 20 years now, it is easily explained to anyone, the reason T was stuck at around $30 while VZ approached $60, is because T was out on a buying spree that should never have happened. The reason
    VZ went 2x the share price of T, was because T was not focused on its core business. But now that T is focused, I can easily see it coming up to VZ in price value of $60 per share.

    And thank you, thank you so much AT&T board of directors for unloading everything and that I can expect a Discovery DISCA shares. It was stated that AT&T shareholders get 71% of this new company. I cannot expect that means my 31,240 shares of AT&T would
    become giving me 71% of 31,240 = 22,180 shares of a new company worth more than $32. per share. That would mean that AP gets "almost for free" 22,180x$32 = approx $709,000.

    No, no, life cannot be this good to AP, that AT&T has given AP, almost for free $709,000.

    It must not be true and probably something more on the order of what Verizon did several years back where they spun off some company they owned and I got 2 shares worth $55. per share of this spin off. No, life cannot be this good to AP that he gets for
    free, $709,000. in a AT&T spin off.

    Anyway, thank you William Kennard, and John Stankey for placing AT&T back on steady course even keel as a Telecom, back to its core roots, for it needs to compete even even with Verizon. The telecom business is such that it cannot afford to go out
    shopping for companies that are not in the telecom business itself. And now, well, hope to see AT&T share price value go up to $60 a share, matching that of VZ.

    Thanks,

    Shares outstanding of VZ and AT&T #694 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory.

    So I had to look and see the shares outstanding. A number figure that Yahoo finance does not provide but deeply important to us value investors. So AT&T has about 7 billion shares outstanding and VZ has about 4 billion shares.

    Now Yahoo says that VZ market capitalization is $235 Billion and AT&T is $211Billion.

    Let me see if that makes reasonable math sense for VZ is about $57 a share and T is about $29 per share. So 57 x 4 billion = 228 and 29 x 7 billion is 203. Yes, close enough.

    So in my long memory and history of the prices of VZ and AT&T as I ran switch campaigns on both. At one time I had far more VZ then T, and then one day about 15-20 years ago, going on fading memory and not bothering to look up the facts, one day I sold
    nearly 90% VZ and with the proceeds bought only T, and been stuck with that AT&T because VZ went so much higher and stayed higher than AT&T. I am talking about 15 or more years ago, perhaps in my book can be seen the exact dates, for I am talking of
    memory here.

    In a investor of switch campaign that I am, we like our companies for both that one never gets far from the other, because, well, we can no longer switch between the two. So about 15 years ago, VZ just climbed and climbed higher than AT&T.

    But now that AT&T is going back to its roots-- telecom, I can see them with a price per share that matches VZ. So say that AT&T is at $60 per share with 7 billion share outstanding would value T at 60 x 7 = $420 Billion market capitalization. And that
    would make VZ look very cheap at its current $235 Billion.

    And in a earlier post, I complained of the price distortion of what I consider inferior companies compared to telecoms. Companies such as Microsoft $1.85 Trillion, Google $1.56 Trillion, Apple $2.12 Trillion, Facebook especially Facebook at $903 Billion.

    And this is where Randall Stephenson just made one mistake-- for he should have been CEO at Microsoft or Google or Apple or Facebook and bought up AT&T lock stock and barrel with petty change at those trillions evaluation.

    Because in the estimation by AP, the King of Science, that Google and Facebook are *advertisement* business, and advertisement business is wishy washy come and go, and not really essential to humans. Whereas communication, telecom is far far more
    essential.

    And although Microsoft and Apple are technology, that technology is not as safe as a utility-monopoly that a telecom such as Verizon and AT&T are.

    So, what are they waiting for? What is Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook waiting for. For if AP was CEO of any one of them, tomorrow, the next day, I would buyout AT&T faster than I can pour milk onto my cereal.

    Yes, the King of Science is also into that of "business stupidity and lethargy and the tedium boredom of financial businesses" and that is why AP, the King of Science spends 99.99% of his time in physics and science. For brains in business is dull.

    More people reading and viewing AP's newsgroup than viewing sci.math, sci.physics. So AP has decided to put all NEW WORK, to his newsgroup. And there is little wonder because in AP's newsgroups, there is only solid pure science going on, not a gang of
    hate spewing misfits blighting the skies.

    In sci.math, sci.physics there is only stalking hate spew along with Police Drag Net Spam of no value and other than hate spew there is Police drag net spam day and night.

    I re-opened the old newsgroup PAU of 1990s and there one can read my recent posts without the hassle of stalkers and spammers, Police Drag Net Spam that floods each and every day, book and solution manual spammers, off-topic-misfits, front-page-hogs,
    churning imbeciles, stalking mockers, suppression-bullies, and demonizers.  And the taxpayer funded hate spew stalkers who ad hominem you day and night on every one of your posts.

    There is no discussion of science in sci.math or sci.physics, just one long line of hate spewing stalkers followed up with Police Drag Net Spam (easy to spot-- very offtopic-- with hate charged content). And countries using sci.physics & sci.math as
    propaganda platforms, such as tampering in elections with their mind-rot.

    Time Warner spinoff//Re: shares outstanding of VZ and AT&T #695 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory.

    Good question, as to what AP will do with the Discovery Channel-Time Warner spinoff shares.

    If AP gets only a few hundred shares, then I will eventually sell them.

    But if AP gets anywhere near a thousand or more shares, then I will keep for quite some time, quite some time. Because Discovery channel is the best paid advertisement broadcaster of science behind PBS. But PBS has only science about one day per week--
    Wednesday. Whereas Discovery channel, although advertising tv, has science on all throughout the week.

    And that as a youth and teenager, I watched my favorite shows of Bugs Bunny cartoons and Maverick, and Star Trek is now with Discovery streaming service.

    So if I think back to my youth and teenager and young years, this spinoff company has some deep connections with me.

    Reverse Morris Trust on new shares of DISCA #696 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory.
    AT&T maybe amateurs in buying companies, but they are veritable seasoned experts in getting rid of companies they do not want. Take for instance Time Warner spun off to Discover channel DISCA, reading Yahoo finance on Reverse Morris Trust deal, where the
    author claims that a court ruling of 1966 establishes a precedent that neither AT&T nor its shareholders have to pay taxes.

    Now, AP is wondering about that. What does that mean when AP sells some of his DISCA shares, and what is the basis value, and does AP pay any taxes on the sale of those shares?

    So here, AP is all up in the clouds as to the meaning "no taxes".

    30 more AT&T #697 Optimal Strategy of Playing the StockMarket via VonNeumann Game Theory

    PORTFOLIO of PAF on 9Jul2021
    T 31,270 AT&T
    GSK 1,200
    VZ 100
    __________
    32,570
    Total share-wealth-units last reported which was 20May2021 was 32,540.
    And total share-wealth-units today 32,570 , and today is 9Jul2021.

    So today I spent my GSK dividend on more shares of AT&T, which is absurdly cheap at 28.39 per share. And I bought 30 more shares of AT&T. I say absurdly cheap because in several months from now, every AT&T owner will get what can be called free shares of
    Discovery Channel DISCA.

    And I lived through several of these corporate deals where the parent company distributes to shareholders free shares of a spin-off. I remember Verizon spinning off one of its units and giving shareholders free shares in the spin off.

    And it does not surprise me in the least that DISCA is almost tracking the same as T is tracking, where DISCA is now 29.20 while T is 28.41 at the moment.

    So what I expect from past experience on these matters, is that both companies will stay about the same price and that at some point in the near future, that T will skyrocket to $40 and Disca also at $40, because, well, of course, because T shareholders
    get free new shares of Disca.

    The only confusing part of this for AP, is why most everyone else is so blind as to not see this coming.

    Total share-wealth-units last reported which was 9Jul2021 was 32,570.
    And total share-wealth-units today 32,900 , and today is 3Aug2021.

    So today I spent excess cash on more shares of AT&T, which is absurdly cheap at 28.10 per share. And I bought 330 more shares of AT&T. I say absurdly cheap because in several months from now, every AT&T owner will get what can be called free shares of
    Discovery Channel DISCA.

    And I lived through several of these corporate deals where the parent company distributes to shareholders free shares of a spin-off. I remember Verizon spinning off one of its units and giving shareholders free shares in the spin off.

    And it does not surprise me in the least that DISCA is almost tracking the same as T is tracking, where DISCA is now moving in tandem in price to what AT&T price is.

    So what I expect from past experience on these matters, is that both companies will stay about the same price and that at some point in the near future, that T will skyrocket to $40 and Disca also at $40, because, well, of course, because T shareholders
    get free new shares of Disca.

    And Disca is highly more volatile in price so it could drive up AT&T to about $45-$50 per share. Especially since AT&T keeps reporting record new subscribers. And Disca should do extremely well with its educational programs in a covid-19 lockdown future
    of education at home.

    Total share-wealth-units last reported which was 3Aug2021 was 32,900.
    And total share-wealth-units today 33,170 , and today is 1Nov2021.

    So today I spent excess cash on more shares of AT&T, which is absurdly cheap at 25.43 per share. Cheaper than three months ago. And I bought 270 more shares of AT&T. I say absurdly cheap because in several months from now, every AT&T owner will get what
    can be called free shares of Discovery Channel DISCA. The reason AT&T is so cheap is because many big funds play AT&T as a parking lot in between times when they pay dividend, unlike I myself who plays AT&T as a lifetime investment-- buy and hold for
    long term. So these parking lot investors, here today gone tomorrow and back again 2 months later, these parking lot investors are playing a very risky and dicey game of thinking they can come back in, once the DISCA shares are parceled out with no
    adversity from their parking game.

    But I am rather sure that many of these parking game players will be cut off or cut out when that DISCA distribution occurs.
