Anti-Trump AppNexus IPO Expected Q2 2017 – Will Their Bigoted Policies Result In A Cucked Public Offering?

On November 30th, three weeks after Trump was supposed to have lost, and Hillary was set to pupate out of her pantsuit to reveal her final form, the second largest Ad Serving company, AppNexus, filed for an IPO expected to hit in Q2, 2017 at a valuation between $1.5 Billion and $2 Billion. To prepare for this announcement, they even laid off 150 employees two weeks before filing in order to get lean and mean for the roadshow. AppNexus also made the conscious business decision to reveal themselves as castrated bitches and drop Breitbart from it’s advertising platform. This seems rather dumb, pre-IPO, no?

As I mentioned yesterday, perhaps they were pressured by their investors at News Corp (Breitbart competitor owned by Fox), liberal Microsoft, Democrat VC Josh Kopelman, or the very establishment Rockefeller family’s Venrock?

Whatever the reason, AppNexus joins a growing list of companies whose CEOs have publically come out against Trump and suffered for their partisan cuckery.

While the IPO is still 4-7 months away, and this Anti-Trump thing may blow over, I have a feeling that whatever happens after January 20th is going to significantly impact the offering. If Trump can energize the country by delivering on campaign promises in a swift and compassionate manner, he’s going to win hearts and minds. This is something Trump knows how to do.

For example, we already know that his first act of “law and order” will be to round up tens of thousands of illegal gang members across the country in a massive sweep. There may be blood. And you know what? Trump’s going to come off like a fuckin’ cowboy. While he’s deporting these bad hombres, and not anyone else, Trump will announce a massive blue collar job boost when he builds the wall using money seized from Mexican drug lords. It will be a stealth New New Deal. $DE $CX  If all of this comes to pass, Trump will be a rap god. Conservative investors will remember what AppNexus did and punish them for their insolence.

On the other hand – if Trump is proven to be all hat and no cattle, notwithstanding adverse market conditions, the AppNexus IPO might just be a yuge “told ya so.”

"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I'll kill you all"-Mattis

— Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) July 8, 2010

President-elect Trump is expected to announce retired 4-star general James Mattis as secretary of defense early next week, the Washington Post reports:

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis to be secretary of defense, according to people familiar with the decision, nominating a former senior military officer who led operations across the Middle East to run the Pentagon less than four years after he hung up his uniform.

To take the job, Mattis will need Congress to pass new legislation to bypass a federal law stating that defense secretaries must not have been on active duty in the previous seven years. Congress has granted a similar exception just once, when Gen. George C. Marshall was appointed to the job in 1950. –WP

Mattis, a four decade veteran of the Marine Corps, is known as an aggressive tactician with a penchant for rooting out and destroying terrorists instead of allowing them to fire on US troops. Furthermore, Mattis has serious reservations about Iran, and I suspect he’d have no problem turning the country into a glowing parking lot. Whether this rhetoric will be tempered by Trump’s stated desire to play nice with Russia has yet to be seen, as we know Iran and Russia have become close in recent months while the world tries to boost the price of oil to avoid catastrophe. This could pose quite the dilemma, so hopefully we can find a way to cooperate while regaining respect in the region.

“In terms of strengthening America’s global standing among European and Mideastern nations alike, the sense is that America has become somewhat irrelevant in the Middle East, and we certainly have the least influence in 40 years”

If the USA is going to continue to buy oil from the Middle East, we need to remain relevant, ideally without resorting to region-destabilizing regime change. Let’s not kid ourselves about why we’re there, or why it’s in everybody’s best interest to cut the bullshit and focus on wiping out ISIS without surreptitiously surrounding an old enemy who simply wants to control the flow of energy into Europe. Alternative energy programmes and the passage of time will eliminate that issue altogether, and Russia can go pound sand.

Putin also just rolled out a brand new long range nuke dubbed Satan II, so let’s not get biblical over liquefied combustible dinosaur food.

I don’t trust people with strangely spelled versions of regular names. Maybe I judge them because they obviously came from weird ass parents who thought they were being so cool and avant-garde with their kid’s identity, subjecting them to a childhood of complex-forming ridicule. Rumors have surfaced from America Talks radio host David Zublick that Fox is about to kick blonde cuckstress Megyn Kelly to the curb. This comes on the heels of the network reportedly offering Kelly a $20 Million contract just five weeks ago. Word has already gotten out that ol’ Meg is going to jump over to CNN, where she can spout unmitigated propaganda.

Replacing Kelly, according to the Zublick, will be five year Fox veteran and 65 year old MILF, Judge Jeanine Pirro, who didn’t spend the entire election trying to undermine Donald Trump at every turn.

Our commander in tofu has a lot of time, lame-ducking around. In a Rolling Stone interview published this week, Obama gave liberals something I KNOW I’m going to overhear at some stupid cheese and cracker holiday party this year:

“And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments. That part of the critique of the Democratic Party is accurate. We spend a lot of time focused on international policy and national policy and less time being on the ground. And when we’re on the ground, we do well. This is why I won Iowa” (bitches).

No, you won Iowa because it’s easy to reach people when you’re stumping in the middle of a huge fucking credit crisis that Bill “I like ’em young” Clinton kicked off by nuking the 66 year old lesson we learned from the crash of ’29 Glass Steagall Act for the banks, followed by Barney Frank pushing “it’s racist not to lend to anyone with a pulse” loans that got rated by bought-off agencies and packaged into CDO’s that were sold to old widows by well dressed con men. Assholes. Obama also “enjoyed” the fruits of an amazing financial invention; the safety net of unlimited money that Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke held a gun to congress’s head to jack from the US Taxpayer. Fuck it, let’s burden future generations with as much debt as possible to avoid pain right now. As long as the US Dollar is the global reserve and at the top of the burning shit pyramid, unlimited printing won’t result in devaluation / inflation. Good thing China isn’t looking to unseat the USD with SDRs (they are).

Also funny how Obama throws Democrats under the bus for not “showing up, making arguments.” LIKE FUCKING WHAT? You got the Nobel peace prize and then proceeded to bomb 7 countries? Or that you caused the migrant crisis by murdering Gaddafi with your girl Hillary, destabilizing Northern Africa? Should democrats mention your healthcare bill that screwed every lower-middle class American who wasn’t poor enough to qualify for free Obamacare, yet didn’t make enough money to afford decent insurance? Or the small business owners with already thin margins who got royally fucked? Perhaps you’d have democrats try to appeal to the decimated rust belt to tell them how they’re going to bring their jobs back with open borders and globalism? Oh, I know! Democrats can hang their hat on the fact that the stock markets have been inflated to all time highs – something which does nothing to benefit the 79% of poor voters who make less than 30K / year and aren’t in the market.

Sorry Barry Hussein, you don’t get to be smug about Iowa. Enjoy looking down on the plebs you screwed from your $6.3 Million house in DC (which you paid $5.3 Million for in 2014). Not bad for a guy who entered the White House with a net worth of just $1.3 Million.

As Fly reported earlier – Kellogg, dispenser of junk food disguised as breakfast, instigator of childhood diabetes, has pulled their ads from Breitbart.com. The company whose corn flakes were invented as part of an anti-masturbation crusade, has a problem with Breitbart’s conservative values.

“We regularly work with our media-buying partners to ensure our ads do not appear on sites that aren’t aligned with our values as a company,” said Kris Charles, a spokeswoman for Kellogg, which also makes Frosted Flakes and Special K cereal. “We recently reviewed the list of sites where our ads can be placed and decided to discontinue advertising on Breitbart.com. We are working to remove our ads from that site.”

In response, Breitbart launched #DumpKelloggs, which is currently the top trending hashtag on Twitter.

This level of cuckery comes exactly seven days after the second largest digital ad service, AppNexus, dumped Breitbart over safe space violations when their employees determined there was simply too much truth being dispensed. Breitbart is, of course, one of the few mainstream outlets that doesn’t participate in the anti-Trump narrative.  Maybe AppNexus was pressured to dump Breitbart by their investors at News Corp (Breitbart competitor owned by Fox), Microsoft, Democrat VC Josh Kopelman, or the very establishment Rockefeller family’s Venrock?

It will be interesting to see if this makes a dent in Kellogg stock $K . We all remember what happened when GrubHub Cuck Executive Officer Matt Maloney told employees who voted for Trump to resign.

 

You can see how well $GRUB fared vs. the S&P 500: If you’re still ingesting Round-Up laced breakfast cereal and disagree with Kellogg’s cuckery, vote with your wallet and stop buying their products. You’ll live longer.

Given the number of times “conflict of interest” has been tossed around on Facebook by my bitter liberal extended family members, it’s probably smart for President-elect Trump to nip this one in the bud.

Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations. The Presidency is a far more important task!

And it looks like Trump has made some friends!  The US Office of Government Ethics – which I didn’t know existed, but has obviously been sleeping through the last 8 years – was quick to tweet some reassuring feedback. Kind of interesting, the US OGE is headed by Walter Shaub, Jr., a donor to Obama who was appointed to his post in 2013. The tweets below at least imply that everyone is playing well together.

.@realDonaldTrump Bravo! Only way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to divest . Good call!

— U.S. OGE (@OfficeGovEthics) November 30, 2016

.@realDonaldTrump this divestiture does what handing over control could never have done.

— U.S. OGE (@OfficeGovEthics) November 30, 2016

The tweets themselves were out of character for this boring cardboard agency. Per the Washington Post:

OGE lawyers have been influential in past presidents’ decision making, but their advice has almost always been kept confidential. If nothing else, the OGE’s tweets have publicly revealed federal-ethics officials’ preference for the president-elect to completely divest — a form of lobbying that is potentially unprecedented for the agency.

The messages surprised many who had worked with the agency in the past: Brett Kappel, a Washington campaign-finance lawyer who has worked with OGE, said the agency “never tweets about an individual federal official’s ethics issues unless they are announcing the conclusion of an enforcement action.”

Well, that puts a lid on that whole thing. Now we can get back to discussing the loose hairs clogging the drain, how much hair is acceptable, and whether it means Trump has sold out completely or just enough to avoid getting JFK’d. Perhaps some scary oligarch in a wood paneled room conveyed that Steven Mnuchin was a non-negotiable component of Trump’s ascendency to the throne. Mnuchin, Goldman banker turned hedge fund manager turned Hollywood producer, co-produced the movie Our Brand Is Crisis, about a Bolivian presidential candidate who hires an American PR team to win an election. The other producer on Our Brand Is Crisis is Grant Heslov, whose film Argo was one of the many Hollywood productions to work closely with (and seek permission from) Chase Brandon, the CIA’s “Entertainment Liaison Officer.”

According to Richard Klein, a consultant who helps connect Hollywood studios with the CIA and other government agencies, Argo was the first movie to get permission to film inside Langley headquarters in fifteen years. –The Atlantic

The New York Times, perhaps Donald Trump’s #2 MSM enemy after CNN, says they have seen a 10x increase in subscriptions since Trump was elected President.

From the election on Nov. 8 through Saturday, the Times has seen “a net increase of approximately 132,000 paid subscriptions to our news products,” the media giant said in an exclusive statement to CNBC.

“This represents a dramatic rate of growth, 10 times, the same period one year ago,” the statement said. –CNBC

I guess all it takes to boost subscriptions is a contentious election driving concerned citizens into the arms of the Gray Lady? With all the FAKE NEWS out there, who could blame them?

Of Note, Fly’s Exodus algo nailed the oversold condition on November 2nd, which was followed by a massive 19% run over the last 4 weeks. To put that in perspective, an investment of just $2600 in $NYT on November 2nd would have paid for an entire year of Exodus.

Today’s announcement couldn’t have come at a better time for the New York Times, as revenues have been effectively sideways for 4 years.

In the above Exodus chart, notice all those little spikes in the December quarter? Turns out it’s a good month for the NYT – up an average of 3.77%, 29 out of the last 42 years.

Let’s see if this Trump Bump™ will stick for the beleaguered New York Times. In the meantime, trade well and look out for FAKE NEWS.

With Jill Stein’s charade unraveling and focus returning to adult matters, you should know that Donald J. “Lion-O” Trump, his sidekick Steve Bannon, and mistress of elections Kellyanne Conway have been working hard to make America great again by fulfilling yet another Trump promise – destroying Obamacare.

This utterly failed assault on the middle class was authored in large part by convicted felon, democrat operative, and Hufington Post contributor Robert Creamer, who wrote much of the Affordable Care Act from prison. Creamer, you’ll recall, was also in charge of the hate machine which sent paid agitators to Trump rallies to incite violence and mayhem. This architect of destruction visited the Obama White House 340 times – which included 45 meetings with President Obama, surely to talk about yoga and wedding plans.

In order to put an end to this charade, Trump has appointed healthcare ninja, (and current chairman of the House Budget Committee) Dr. Tom Price, M.D. as Health Secretary of these great United States. Price, a six term Republican congressman from Georgia, has been a noted figure in opposition to the Affordable Care Act.

 

If President-elect Donald J. Trump wanted a cabinet secretary who could help him dismantle and replace President Obama’s health care law, he could not have found anyone more prepared than Representative Tom Price, who has been studying how to accomplish that goal for more than six years.

Mr. Price, an orthopedic surgeon who represents many of the northern suburbs of Atlanta, speaks with the self-assurance of a doctor about to perform another joint-replacement procedure. He knows the task and will proceed with brisk efficiency. (-NY Times)

While we don’t have any definitive insight into how exactly how this task will be accomplished, we do know that Trump told the NY Times he was in favor of keeping the preexisting condition and adult children provisions in Obamacare. As for Price, he introduced the “Empowering Patients First Act” in 2009, which promotes using tax deductions and credits to aid in the purchasing of private health insurance, state-based high-risk insurance pools, competitive interstate insurance markets, and medical debt repayment programs. (source)

With a firm nod to Trump on what appears to be following through on a major campaign pledge, I sincerely hope our government also gets around to addressing the asinine cost of healthcare in the USA versus other advanced nations. A hospital stay costs an average of $1,825 in spain, $5,504 in Germany, and $15,734 in the USA. Having a baby in America will set you back anywhere from $9-$15K, versus $1,967 in Spain and $1,291 in Argentina. An MRI costs $1,080 in the US, and just $280 in France (source). Perhaps if our government cracked down on flagrant and excessive healthcare expenses across the board, premiums could drop substantially as insurance companies wouldn’t have to play games where everyone knows they don’t pay the full amount of the bill, while privately insured citizens are on the hook for the whole tab notwithstanding debt settlement or bankruptcy protection (which is why the medical debt repayment provisions in Price’s Empowering Patients First Act are excellent. Hopefully they translate to Trump’s plan).

While dismantling Obamacare and encouraging competition between insurance companies will undoubtedly translate to lower premiums (and more discretionary income in the pockets of consumers), something tells me the healthcare industry and their fleet of lobbyists are going to carve out a few life rafts for themselves to comfortably navigate the swamp with their inflated prices.

Update:

Pete Williams MSNBC: OSU suspect killed believed to be Somali refugee OSU student. According to sources, police believe attack planned.

— Jeff Darcy (@Darcycartoon) November 28, 2016

Today, as of the latest available information, 10 people were injured when at least one asshole pulled the fire alarm at Ohio State University and attempted to copycat the Nice, France truck attack by driving a vehicle onto the sidewalk, striking several students. The driver then exited the vehicle and proceeded to attack students with a machete. First, here’s the latest from OSU:

There have also been reports of multiple attackers in different areas of the campus, as well as an explosion, which I’m sure will be reduced to “lone wolf” shortly. Since the initial reports were of an active shooter (likely the sound of cops shooting the guy), dipshits on the left wasted no time turning this into a gun control debate before all the facts were in.

Today is yet another was a sad day in our country because of a senseless shooting at an Ohio State University.

Prayers to Ohio State. This is a clear issue of gun control and lack of mental health screenings. But you get your gun rights, right?

Backpedaling liberals can never be wrong, even while backpedaling. Sheila Jackson-Lee has decided to remain quiet. Why correct yourself when you can continue spreading bad information?

Come on. This was reported by every major news outlet as an "active shooter." Don't get to use more current info to play "gotcha." https://t.co/agoKqsmorR

As you can see, there’s not a lot of love going on in the S&P 500 today outside of select tech, utilities, and a handful of standouts across the board.

The view from within Exodus reinforces this milquetoast trading, with just 29.8% of large caps bullish. After scanning though some of my favorite names, I’m inspired to go make a Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberry, Gravy, and Mustard sandwich on a Hawaiian roll – so that I may sleep the rest of my day away.

That said, traders inside the Pelican Room are tossing ideas back and forth, per usual.

The Dollar, Bonds, and volatility are all screaming BORING (for now…)

Hang onto your hat, or use your chin-strap, for it may fall from your head while you nod off.
