$SVVC

First Hand Technology Value Fund  SVVC +1.79% is pretty easy to understand.  Just like GSV Capital Corp they own equity stakes in other companies, they don’t make any widgets or widgets apps themselves.  They recently picked up 100K shares of Twitter for $1.8 million.  They own 88,841 of Gilt and 125,000 shares of Yelp.  And they own 600,000 class B shares of Facebook, around ~12% of assets.

Geraldo Rivera Claims He Was Manually Raped

 Geraldo Rivera raised some eyebrows on Friday when he said that a TSA agent “manually raped” him at an airport.

Appearing on “Fox and Friends,” Rivera revealed that he had been on the so-called “no fly list” for a long time, until “kicking and screaming” had gotten him removed from the list. Then he segued rather randomly to a story about the last time he traveled to Afghanistan.

“I got manually raped by a guy,” he said. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it.”

“Oh my gosh!” co-host Gretchen Carlson interjected.

“And the tighter I got and the angrier I got, he just wanted to be a little more intimate, and go up here and go down there,” Rivera said. “…My junk was junked!”

“I never thought we’d be going here with this today, Geraldo,” Carlson said.

Flash Crash Anniversary: Cancel All Orders! {Video}

Will we see another one? Is the market any safer?

Such as classic video. Cancel all orders!

Two years ago, an accidental trade in the midst of a jittery market set off a cataclysmic plunge that seemed to defy all reason and pulled back the curtain on high-frequency trading for millions of investors who had no idea that computer-driven strategies account for the lion’s share of daily market volume.
