  1. They are bringing back the DSL program Biden implemented so Starlink can provide rural connectivity. Scrubbing a bunch of fiber build contracts because satellite is so much better.

    Comparative Analysis of Criminal Indictments and Convictions in U.S. Political Administrations (1961-2016)

    The data reveals a striking disparity in criminal indictments and convictions between Democratic and Republican administrations over a 56-year period. When examining equal timeframes (28 years each) spanning from Kennedy to Obama, Republican administrations accumulated 120 indictments with 89 convictions (74% conviction rate), while Democratic administrations had only 3 indictments resulting in 1 conviction (33% conviction rate). This analysis examines the numerical differences, explores potential explanations for this disparity, and discusses the implications for evaluating political corruption in American governance.

    Data Overview and Methodology
    The analysis examines criminal indictments and convictions across ten presidential administrations from 1961 to 2016, providing an equivalent 28-year period for each party. The dataset includes officials who served in executive branch positions during these administrations and faced criminal charges related to their official duties.

    Data Sources and Collection

    You forgot the "SHORT TERM" part of that. Just looks like a pause, dead cat bounce before another leg down. There was no capitulation, by any measure, and no volume on the bounce.

    This is a standard repeating pattern. Of course this *could* be an exception, but the vast majority of the large players do not think so. And they are needed for a bottom to form. I.e. they will continue selling and shorting, until they flip and then you got a bottom.

    Horrible risk reward scenario going long on a bounce like this. Total amateur hour stuff where "hope", is the strategy. ;)
