Kamala Harris stumps in Dallas, as panic takes hold of Democratic party over Biden
The vice president spoke to about 20,000 members of Alpha Kappa Alpha, a historically Black sorority of which she is an alumna, at their annual convention. The vice president did not, however, address the elephant in the room: the breathless national debate about whether President Joe Biden should step aside as the party’s nominee, opening the possibility for her to run in his place. She also did not answer press questions about whether Biden should step aside after the event.
Many Democrats, including U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, are openly warning that Biden will lose the election and hurt Democrats in key down-ballot races, including the Senate election in Texas.

S&P 500 closes above 5,600 for the first time, lifted by gains in Big Tech
The S&P 500 climbed Wednesday to a fresh record, breaking above 5,600 for the first time, as a sharp rise in semiconductor stocks led the market higher.The broad market index jumped 1.02%, closing at 5,633.91 and notching a seventh straight day of gains. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.18%, also hitting an all-time high. It was the 37th record close in 2024 for the S&P 500, and the 27th for the tech-heavy Nasdaq. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 429.39 points, or 1.09%. Chip stocks were among the largest winners of the session. Taiwan Semiconductor added 3.5% after revenue from April to June came in ahead of Wall Street estimates. Peer chip firms Qualcomm ticked higher by 0.8%, and Broadcom rose about 0.7%. Artificial intelligence darling Nvidia climbed 2.7%. Those moves come as investors await fresh inflation figures on Thursday with the release of the June consumer price index report. The data follows comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday and Wednesday that has fueled investor hopes for a rate cut in the second half of the year. “There are some things out there that look kind of frothy, but there’s no indication yet that [megacap technology] earnings can’t support those valuations,” said Scott Welch, chief investment officer at Certuity. “It’s important to remember that seven to 10 stocks constitute 30% to 40% of the S&P 500 market cap… if there’s any slippage it’s going to have an amplified effect.”
Economists polled by Dow Jones expect a 0.1% month-over-month advance and a 3.1% year-on-year gain. Core CPI, which excludes energy and food prices, is forecast to have expanded 0.2% from the prior month and 3.4% from a year earlier. The producer price index is set for release Friday.

Because it’s based at a Grand Forks AFB
Yesterday was training Tuesday so likely it was being worked on and up for a test flight.
No I don’t do that ever.
You shouldn’t take advice on a public board no matter who it may/may not be.
That is your characterization of it
Obviously the irony of posting Greenspan with that is totally lost in you.
>doesn’t know that Greenspan wrote all the trading programs for Wall St in the 70s then digitized the back end
The others in here giving advice you are fine with but a market story is “low-key” advice ….

Archegos Founder Bill Hwang Convicted at Criminal Trial Over Fund's Collapse
Archegos Capital Management founder Sung Kook "Bill" Hwang was convicted by a jury in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday at a criminal trial in which prosecutors accused him of market manipulation ahead of the 2021 collapse of his $36 billion private investment firm. Jurors began deliberations on Tuesday morning, a day after hearing closing arguments in the trial of Hwang and Patrick Halligan, his Archegos deputy and co-defendant. Prosecutors said Hwang and Halligan lied to banks in order to obtain billions of dollars that they used to artificially pump up the stock prices of multiple publicly traded companies. The trial began in May.
The Archegos meltdown sent shock waves across Wall Street and drew regulatory scrutiny on three continents.
Hwang, 60, had pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, three counts of fraud and seven counts of market manipulation. Halligan, 47, had pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of fraud. Halligan was the chief financial officer at Archegos.
They now face maximum sentences of 20 years in prison on each charge for which they were convicted, though any sentence would likely be much lower and would be imposed by the judge based on a range of factors.
When the charges were brought in 2022, the U.S. Justice Department called the case an example of its commitment to hold accountable people who distort and defraud U.S. financial markets.
The trial centered on the implosion of Hwang's family office Archegos, which inflicted $10 billion in losses at global banks and, according to prosecutors, and caused more than $100 billion in shareholder losses at companies in its portfolio. Prosecutors said Hwang's actions harmed U.S. financial markets as well as ordinary investors, causing significant losses to banks, market participants and Archegos employees. Hwang secretly amassed outsized stakes in multiple companies without actually holding their stock, according to prosecutors. Hwang lied to banks about the size of the derivative positions of Archegos in order to borrow billions of dollars that he and his deputies then used to artificially inflate the underlying stocks, prosecutors said. Halligan was accused by prosecutors of lying to banks and enabling the criminal scheme.
During closing arguments, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Thomas told jurors, "By 2021, the defendants' lies and manipulation had ensnared nearly a dozen stocks and half of Wall Street in a $100 billion fraud, a fraud that came crashing down in a matter of days."
Hwang's defense team painted the indictment as the "most aggressive open market manipulation case" ever brought by U.S. prosecutors. Hwang's attorney Barry Berke told jurors in his closing argument that prosecutors criminalized aggressive but legal trading methods.
Archegos head trader William Tomita and Chief Risk Officer Scott Becker testified as prosecution witnesses after pleading guilty to related charges and agreeing to cooperate in the case.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, which brought the case, Hwang's positions eclipsed those of the companies' largest investors, driving up stock prices. At its peak, prosecutors said Archegos had $36 billion in assets and $160 billion of exposure to equities.
When stock prices fell in March 2021, the banks demanded additional deposits, which Archegos could not make. The banks then sold the stocks backing Hwang's swaps, wiping out an alleged $100 billion in value for shareholders and billions at the banks, including $5.5 billion for Credit Suisse, now part of UBS, and $2.9 billion for Nomura Holdings.

Been that way for many years
A huge industrial location is right on the border and when you hear of a tunnel being found it’s usually from that location.
This is also where the temporary border wall solutions were demo’d as well
Out of control and always has been.
