10 things in tech you need to know today 1. "Pokémon Go" is already almost as big as Snapchat and Google Maps. The wildly popular smartphone game also has more daily active users in the US than Twitter, according to one estimate. 2. Prime Day was Amazon's biggest day in the history of the company. Customer orders jumped by 60%. 3. Tech investors are increasingly finding ways to block companies from going public. They're getting IPO blocking rights written into term sheets. 4. Uber is pulling out of Hungary. The decision is due to government regulation. 5. The CEO of this year's hottest tech IPO got $235 million (£177 million) richer in just 3 weeks. Twilio's Jeff Lawson just made a lot of money. 6. Ads are coming to "Pokémon Go." Niantic, the company behind the game, has confirmed it will be adding "sponsored locations." 7. The Chinese government probably hacked a US banking regulator, and it was covered up. That's according to a new congressional report, according to Reuters. 8. Apple's first reality TV show will be called "Planet of the Apps." It's about "the world of apps and the talented people that drive its innovation." 9. The Tor Project has got a new board, The New York Times reports. The organisation, which is responsible for the anonymising Tor internet browser, was recently rocked by allegations of sexual misconduct by one of its most prominent employees. 10. BitTorrent is launching an online news channel. The Verge reports that it will debut at the start of the Republican National Convention in the US. www.businessinsider.com/10-things-in-tech-you-need-to-know-july-14-2016-7 |

If market opens where futures currently suggest it will, or higher, then this is exactly the sort of open I've been waiting for to complete the blow-off top. If following any of my open long plays, sell them soon after the open, anything in the S&P upper 2160's or higher. I still see lower targets for VIX scams, but thing's getting too risky in this area for long plays IMO  |

I am seeing people wandering around my neighborhood playing that Pokemon Go game. There was a big crowd in two nearby parks until after midnight last night. It is the quickest viral explosion of anything Internet related to date. My own kids have been playing it some too. It is a pretty neat game. Just wondering if it will crash just as fast when the novelty wears off.

FWIW, if anyone besides walnut and I own F, it closed that gap @13.61...There's another big one up there @15.68 from last Oct. Of course the bots got the bulk of the money from the gap close, F's been trending down ever since the open.
Another take the profits and run is ARNA, which got approval in Mexico for its obesity drug. It was +8.8% pre-market, now only +4.3%.

Just wondering if it will crash just as fast when the novelty wears off. Apparently it's causing serious concern at places like Holocaust Museums where people are supposed to be silent and reflecting rather than excited about retrieving the next Pokebullshit level. Talk about sheep... |

Indices look like a top, but still seeing contrasting signals from VIX futures/products. One of them lying, or only more time decay?

Just sold my nice Chevy truck that I wrecked a few months ago for 3200. Now I am on team Ford 100% Whew! It's a good thing I didn't sell; only have 600 shares...OR, does this mean you sold your stock but kept your trucks? Plus, you made quite a nice profit in 3 wks. if you sold today. |

In the meantime, bonds are getting killed! What's going on there? Are we at the sovereign debt crisis yet?

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Black Panthers I understand are recently making a come-back. Odds are THERE WILL BE SERIOUS VIOLENCE at the RNC Convention imho. Bummer. |

Yep, and it's not regular black folks causing trouble. Someone else's hand is in this, and it is not a black hand.
