Winning

UNIT and CHRB

If you bought UNIT three years ago at $3.50, you may be wondering, at $10.30, what’s going on and whether to sell.  The smart friend who suggested it way back when has always thought it would be acquired by one of the giants at perhaps as much as $20 a share, so — while I have no clue what’s going on — I don’t mind waiting to see.  Only, as you know, with money I can truly afford to lose.

Likewise CHRB, if you bought it three years ago at $13.50.  It’s an obscure bond-like security that’s been paying us 16% or so in quarterly interest while we wait for it to be redeemed at full $25 face value ON August 31.  If for some reason they can’t fund the redemption on time, interest would continue to accrue (and, one hopes, be paid!) until they can.  All in all: I’m feeling pretty good about this one.



WINNING IN FLORIDA

My excitement over Alex Vindman’s campaign to flip Marco Rubio’s old Senate seat continues to grow.  His first quarter fundraising results were just released and — having been in the game for just two of those three months — the number came in at a fairly breath-taking $8.2 million.  More encouraging still, it came from 187,000 individual donors.  Most of encouraging of all — get this — 13% of his first day haul of $1.7 million came from registered Republicans.

So I think he’ll get the votes of a lot of revved up Democrats . . . and a lot of appalled Independents . . . and, it would seem, a meaningful sliver of Republicans.



WINNING IN TEXAS

The more I listen to John Fugelsang’s Separation of Church and Hate, and the more I listen to James Talarico, the clearer it becomes that we have huge potential to reach millions of Jesus’s faithful, in Texas and nationwide, simply by quoting His words.

I know I recommend far more stuff than you have time to click on.  But try to make time for this.  I think you’ll find Fugelsang — a professional comedian who knows the Bible backwards and forwards — a really great read (or listen!) that you, too, will want to share (to spread the gospel, as it were).

Had Jesus been alive today, I think he would have given John’s book one hell of a blurb.



WINNING IN UKRAINE

If this is accurate, the good guys are winning.  The whole thing is horrible; 100% Putin’s doing.  He is that evil.  But Slava Ukraine!
