Musk sells more Tesla stock, bringing total to US$5.7B
Tesla Inc. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk sold almost US$700 million of stock in the electric car-maker, continuing a string of transactions that started this week.
The billionaire on Nov. 11 disposed of 639,737 shares worth about US$687 million, according to regulatory filings. These latest disposals bring Musk’s total sales this week to approximately US$5.7 billion. Some of the trades were made under a pre-arranged trading plan he established in September. On Nov. 6, Musk wrote on Twitter that “much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10 per cent of my Tesla stock,” and opened a poll allowing users to vote on the matter. Almost 58 per cent of the 3.5 million votes were cast in favor of a sale. Tesla stock has slumped 13 per cent this week and slipped 0.4 per cent on Thursday to US$1,063.51.
Musk, 50, is the world’s richest person with a net worth of US$294 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Coffee Prices Hit Highest in Seven Years on Global Supply Threats
Global supply woes from Brazil to Vietnam sent coffee prices to a seven-year high in New York with poor weather, freight snarls and higher fertilizer costs threatening to curb supply.
Arabica futures for March delivery rose 1.6% to $2.1675 a pound at 8:40 a.m. in New York and have soared more than 90% in the past year. In addition to plunging production in top grower Brazil after drought and frost damaged trees, second-ranked arabica supplier Colombia is struggling with excess rain that’s cut yields and threatens to spur plant disease.

Russian economy to grow by up to 4.7% in 2021 -Putin
The Russian economy was on track to post its strongest growth in 13 years and expand by 4.7% in 2021, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, voicing a more optimistic forecast than those of the central bank and the government.
The Russian oil-dependent economy has already recovered to pre-pandemic levels after falling 3% in 2020, its sharpest contraction in 11 years. But its further expansion may face headwinds from higher interest rates and external shocks. “In 2021, according to our estimates, it [economic growth] will reach up to 4.7%. Certainly, it’s not the highest growth in the region but not the lowest. This is quite a good result for our economy,” Putin said. Such economic growth would be the strongest since 2008 when Russia’s gross domestic product grew by 5.2% before falling by 7.8% next year.
The economy ministry has predicted 4.2% growth this year, while the central bank expects expansion of 4.0%-4.5% and then a slowing to 2.0%-3.0% in 2022.

No arguement against dat at all.
Been over-extended for long time
dhey been 'stuck' in that "trap" for a while.
It's a matter on consequences...rather that they have never had any so it will matter when it does.
They make such a big deal about the taper but once those markets drop about 10%-mebby less-or so they will start it up all over again.
And they continue to bail out the money-market funds with the reverse repos-still at over $1t a day.
Stopped tracking dat cause once it got to $70t the point wuz made.
Since we've passed the 'normal' window for them to crash it (historically-speaking) it's prolly on the table for them to do it in Q1/Q2.
At this point it's just a guess cause these markets haz no bidness being where they are.
Power outage snarls operations at Raleigh-Durham International Airport
A "major power disruption" grounded operations at Raleigh-Durham International Airport on Friday morning, leading to long lines and hours of delays.
The outage happened at Terminal 2, which plays host to Air Canada, Allegiant Air, and Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Spirit, Sun Country and United Airlines, according to a statement the airport posted at 4:10 a.m. Terminal 2’s operating systems had been restored, officials said.
The outage was blamed on "water damage to a power distribution center in our main terminal," according to an airport statement. Terminal 1, which houses Southwest Airlines, was not impacted.

Russia Deploys Paratroopers To Belarus After Blasting Increased NATO Reconnaissance In Region
On Friday the Kremlin said it's observed NATO increasing air reconnaissance flights over the Black Sea, according to defense sources cited in Interfax and TASS news agencies. "In the past 24 hours, several reconnaissance planes were detected above the Black Sea. There is no more doubt that the United States is exploring the region as a possible theater of war," TASS cites Russian officials as saying. And further: "The US and NATO have conducted an aerial operation in the Black Sea region, sources in the Russian Defense Ministry told the newspaper. A refueling aircraft has been deployed to the region, which made it possible for planes to remain in the air almost the entire day."
The Russian media reports say the US build-up is related to tensions over Belarus and Ukraine. This week has seen a full-blown crisis emerge at EU crossings on the Poland-Belarus border, also as Lithuania and Latvia also send additional troops and police to secure their borders as thousands of Middle East migrants are seeking entry from the Belarus side. >>107924 pb
Currently, US and NATO allies, along with non-NATO forces from Ukraine, are also conducting naval drills in the Black Sea, led by two US warships. "According to the sources, the operation also involved the Ukrainian Armed Forces as Ukraine's Bayraktar drones were seen in the areas where NATO's aircraft conducted their flights," TASS continues, nothing increased US and Western assistance to Ukrainian forces. "The Russian Defense Ministry (MoD) stated earlier that NATO countries had stepped up activities involving their naval forces, aerial and maritime reconnaissance means." Not only has Russia within the past couple days sent a pair of long-range bombers over Belarus in a show of support to the Alexander Lukashenko government, but on Friday the Kremlin ordered Russian paratroopers to deploy to Belarus as part of continued joint operations. "On November 12, a Russian paratrooper unit will land on an unknown site on the territory of the Grodno region in the Republic of Belarus as part of a surprise combat readiness inspection of the Airborne Force and take part in a joint tactical exercise with units of the Belarusian armed forces," Russia's defense ministry said in a statement. "Russian Il-76 military transport aircraft took off from airfields in Russia and flew to Belarus to airdrop the paratroopers," the statement added. The operation is being described as checking the readiness status of "quick reaction forces" of Russia and Belarus, both which cooperate closely.
The Russian MoD condemned the ongoing US and NATO presence in the Black Sea in fresh statements Friday, saying, "We view the US aggressive military activity in the Black Sea region as a threat to regional security and strategic stability." It underscored that "the true goal of the US actions unprovoked by Russia are to study the theater of military operations in case of the use-of-force scenario in the southeast."

Israel PM Tells Biden's Lawmakers He Would Not Allow US Consulate In Jerusalem To Reopen
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett allegedly reiterated to the visiting Democratic US lawmakers that he will not allow the US consulate to reopen in Jerusalem, according to a report by The Times of Israel. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden's administration has announced that the diplomatic mission responsible for Palestinian matters will be reopened. The consulate was closed in 2019 by then US President Donald Trump, and its staff was merged into the US embassy, which had moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a year before, in what Palestinians saw as a downgrade of their relations with the US.
The mission was based in West Jerusalem on Agron Street and maintained a consular services office in East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians claim as the capital of their future state. According to diplomatic protocol, Israel must accredit the consul general that the United States dispatches to Jerusalem. Bennett has termed the planned move "unacceptable". However, he acknowledged the Democratic Party's domestic political concerns and Biden's election promise to his followers, Axios News reported citing an Israeli official. "I am not going to try to gain political points over this subject, but the reopening of the consulate is unacceptable," Bennett is said to have told the visiting congressional delegation, reported the outlet. Meanwhile on Tuesday, November 9, Israeli PM also met with a bipartisan US delegation, which also met with Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz. The delegation later travelled to Ramallah to meet with Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh. "The topic of the consulate came up in each of our discussions," said the delegation head and Democratic Senator Chris Coons, as reported by The Times of Israel. He also emphasised the need for the US to maintain an open line of communication with the Palestinian Authority.
