Kodak Moment

There are so many amazing aspects to this story: The traders that hit that stock like a swarm of locusts, the brazen insider-trading the day before the President started pumping the stock, and not just pumping it verbally but by promising $765 million in taxpayer money to a company that has been limping along and declining since it emerged from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013. And this company is supposed to start a new division to make pharmaceutical products with zero experience in making pharmaceutical products.

This is what happens when the government borrows something like a trillion dollars every two months and throws it in every direction, with the President personally getting into the trenches and throwing his share too. All this just leaves me shaking my head while holding my nose, which is not that easy to do.
