Moments ago Twitter shares slumped, then rebounded...

... after Ev Williams, co-founder of Twitter, published an article on Medium in which he explained why he - along with apparently everyone else these days - is "selling some twitter shares"

As he explains...  "After a year and a half of no selling, I have filed a new 10b5–1 plan to liquidate a minority of my TWTR over the next year. It actually pains me to be selling at this point, but this sale is all about personal context, not company context....

The FBI is super sketchy. Questions abound over their role in various assassinations. The case of Martin Luther King Jr. is no exception.

Today is the 49th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., a man who stood for peace and encouraged everyone to not judge people by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

The personal attacks that MLK suffered at the hands of the FBI are well documented, though they sound like conspiracy theories to the unaware.

Perhaps just as memorable as the somewhat surreal Trump inauguration on Jan. 20, was the unforgettable crusade of George W. Bush to tame his poncho on that rainy Friday afternoon.

Foreigners selling Japanese assets has become very seasonal as liquidity needs appear critical at quarter-ends for much of the last three years.

Last week - as Q1 ends - Foreigners sold 1.923 trillion Yen in Japanese bonds and 754 billion Yen in Japanese stocks. That was the second largest dump of Japanese assets in history...

This is also the biggest Q1 plunge ever - worse than in 2008.

Bret Easton Ellis, the author of American Psycho, would like for all of his Hollywood snowflake friends to know that he's absolutely sick of their unending "childish meltdowns" over Trump's victory nearly five months ago and he would very much appreciate it if you would stop ruining every single dinner he goes to with you.
