George Clooney is 'the Ignorant A-hole'; 'George 'Clueless' from now on Please by Capitalist Pig Bob

'Wynn and Clooney Exchange Barbs over Heated Dinner Conversation'

Hotel-casino developer Steve Wynn and actor George Clooney offered vastly different accounts Tuesday of a dinner that ended in verbal fireworks.

Wynn said Clooney “got drunk” from downing tequila shots and stormed off after delivering an F-bomb.

The two-time Oscar winner issued the following statement in an email sent through his publicist: “There were nine people at that table ... so you can ask them. ... Steve likes to go on rants.

“He called the president an asshole ... that is a fact ... I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said ‘your friend is an asshole.’ ... At that point I told Steve that HE was an asshole and I wasn’t going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass.

“And I walked out. There were obviously quite a few more adjectives and adverbs used by both of us. Those are all the facts. It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character.”

The incident occurred two weeks ago at Botero restaurant, inside Wynn’s Encore hotel.

Clooney was in Las Vegas to promote his Casamigos tequila during the Wine &Spirits Wholesalers of America convention.

Clooney and his Casamigos business partners Rande Gerber and Michael Meldman had joined Wynn and a group that included Wynn’s wife, Andrea Hissom, Larry Ruvo, founder of Southern Wine &Spirits, and two executives with celebrity powerhouse Creative Artists Agency.

Dinner had ended, and “the place was empty,” Wynn said.

Clooney took exception, Wynn said, when one of the CAA execs told a joke about former Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev.

“He stood up and threw a hissy fit” at the CAA guy, Wynn said in a telephone interview, his first comments on the dust-up.

“Then he sat down and started talking about the Affordable Care Act, and that’s when I spoke up,” said Wynn, a frequent critic of Obamacare. “He didn’t like that either. I think my discussion about the Affordable Care Act was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“When he’s drinking, he considers himself a close personal buddy of the president.

“He got up and said, ‘I don’t have to listen to this (expletive) stuff. The only person who got excited at the table was George, and he ran off to another bar.”

Clooney’s partners were “mortified,” Wynn said.

“Clooney’s fun to be with when he’s sober,” Wynn added. “If you have a chance to drink with him, you want to get there early, and don’t stay late.

“Everybody who’s in my business, the casino business, knows to take actors with a grain of salt.”

This Anti Fossil Fuel Obama Administration has Decimated Walter Energy (WLT)

Walter Energy, Inc.
3000 Riverchase Galleria
Suite 1700
Birmingham, AL 35244

Website: http://www.walterenergy.com

WLT's shares outstanding:	62.58M
WLT's float:	62.23M
Percentage held by Insiders:	0.40%
Percentage held by Institutions:	102.40%
Shares short as of Mar 31, 2014:	32.83M
Short ratio as of Mar 31, 2014:	4.10
Short Percentage of float as of Mar 31, 2014:	52.70%
Shares short prior month, April:	30.58M

.
WLT has a current short interest of nearly 53%, almost unheard of yet driving force of such breakneck negativity is deeply rooted in anti fossil fuel politics. 
Note the total doom price action after this Anti-Energy Administration's policies have taken hold; WLT's shares sunk from $140.00 to the $7.00 area in just 3-years. 

IF anybody tells you that this Administration is pro Employment or pro Economic (GDP) Growth please use this piece to debunk those lefty lies.    

Our Capitalist Pig Bob dreams that some pro Capitalistic sanity would win and barriers against exporting coal would be lifted. Yet it may be too late to breathe life back into a dying coal co like WLT and the stubborn Donks could care less as they push their Green agenda.

Brilliant American Investor Wilbur Ross has appeared on CNBC several times and said he would stay away from the coal industry until he witnessed some legislation that would lift restrictions on coal exports. We know Asia would become overnight buyers, and how does this make sense from a pro Growth perspective for the U.S.A? Sadly, the only pro Growth step is the paradox of the Fed's Quantitative Easing with Zero balance from the myopically Green Legislature.

Capitalist Pig Bob,

'I am Fat Money'

Heed the 4 Consecutive Blood Moons Ahead; Wars and Global Stock Market Prices are in Focus

Hello to All from Capitalist Piglet $ally (CP$),  

The lore is that a full moon causes more heart attacks, births, and irrational behavior. If the U.S. S/P breaches 1,800 I do not think it'll be a coincidence since we're on the cusp of experiencing a total lunar eclipse also called a 'blood moon'. When 4 blood moons occur in a row NASA refers to this event as a Tetrad. This Tuesday, April 15th at 2 am ET will mark the start of the 1st blood moon aka lunar cycle Tetrad. Since financial markets have a history of short-term irrational valuation with no warning, I will be overweight cash for the next 2-years and 5-months in my traditional accounts. I'm not 20-years old anymore and consider myself a shrewd female Capitalist Piglet who knows that Tetrads have had negative effects on global stock markets.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth, Sun and Moon all line up and the Earth blocks all direct sunlight that normally reflects from the moon. Indirect sunlight still reaches the moon and as it passes through our atmosphere, most of the blue light is filtered out, allowing for the deep red and orange phenomenon.

During the time of a total eclipse the moon becomes reddish, with the color dependent on how much dust and clouds are in the atmosphere, thus the name 'blood moon'. Here's NASA's video explaining the upcoming Tetrad.

The lunar cycle ahead is rare since only 55 Tetrads have occurred since 1 AD, so 2,013 years.   

I think it would be smart for Buy and Hold investors to be overweight cash in their traditional cash accounts for longer than they are accustomed to. 

Since 'History Repeats Itself' and Tetrads have had fallouts, but especially for Israel and Jews, with the ongoing Iranian nuclear program my short and long-term portfolios will be hedged just in case a War erupts through September 28, 2016.

The exact dates of the 4 blood moons:

1. April 15, 2014 (this upcoming Tuesday beginning at 2am ET).
2. October 8, 2014.
3. April 4, 2015.
4. September 28, 2015.

In the last 500 years there were 3 Tetrads that fell on Jewish feast days:

• Tetrad in 1493 & 1494: 1492 was the same year that the Jews were expelled from Spain and Columbus discovered America, which is home today for more than 5 million Jews outside of Israel. 

• Tetrad in 1949 & 1950: The first Arab – Israeli War for Independence; Israel became a nation again for the first time in 2,000 years.

• Tetrad in 1967 & 1968: Jews reclaimed Jerusalem in 'The 6-day War' which was divided under Israeli and Jordanian rule since 1949.

If history repeats and an overdue event unfolds in the Middle East in the next couple of years, money managers and individual investors who remain more hedged through September 28, 2016 could eventually Outperform their peers, and my time spent researching and writing this piece will be well worth it!

There will be no more blood moons falling on Jewish feast days for 100-years. Every time this lunar cycle struck on Jewish feast days in the past, there was a significant event for Israel within a year of the first or last blood moon of the Tetrad.

My plan is to be more hedged by Monday's close (tomorrow), even though we've already witnessed the S/P pull back over 4% just in the last few weeks. As of last Friday, the S&P 500 (below), DJIA, and Nasdaq, are ALL trend bearish. Could the historical and statistical significance of the 1st blood moon already be in play?

Most investors understand that the Federal Reserve Bank's Quantitative Easing (QE) measures have had a positive impact on stock prices. The new Fed chairman, Janet Yellen, has stated that her goal is to end the QE bond buying program by October, 2014. 

The 2nd blood moon of 2014 will occur just a couple weeks before that QE end date, and by watching CNBC a lot, I know most of Wall Street is very concerned. If Yellen's Fed does hold to that October date and global stock markets fall more than 10%, the pullback will likely be blamed on the Fed but I think it will be more of a negative synergy associated with that September 28, 2014 blood moon.

Dating back to ancient times, there's evidence that lunar phases affect human behavior; just ask an Emergency Room Physician or Police Officer about their experiences during simple full moon. Though rare, there are portfolio managers that reallocate their portfolios based on lunar cycles. If this piece is 'over the top' for your investment taste, I don't see any harm in taking a cautious portfolio approach over the next couple of years.

Some proteges of George Soros and the late John Templeton theorize that there is a correlation between lunar cycles and stock prices.

In 2010 the technical analysis team of Pelc and Bondar from the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) concluded that 'new moon' and 'full moon' cycles have had large statistical impacts on stocks after studying 6 global indices.

This unorthodox yet statistically proven market timing theory suggests Buying stocks ahead of a new moon and Selling ahead of a full moon.

Lunar cycles influence our moods and a full moon increases our tendency to feel depressed and pessimistic.  Science shows that our levels of serotonin rise and fall as the moon cycles, causing mood swings; similar to the effect of a sunny versus cloudy day, or the Winter versus Spring season.

Below is a good image of a blood moon:

 

This is what a total eclipse looks like. This is the total eclipse of October 27, 2004 via Fred Espenak of NASA.

Ironically, the 4 total eclipses/blood moons ahead will all coincide with Jewish feast days, 2 in the Spring will mark 'Passover' and the 2 in Autumn 'The Feast of Tabernacles'.  

In 2008, Mark Biltz of Tacoma, WA studied NASA eclipse tables, and from a statistical standpoint, many of the ones that have come on Jewish holy days signaled negative events for Israel. Only 7 Tetrads came on important Jewish days in over 2,000 years and just 3 in the last 500-years.

POTC's 2nd Commandment suggests traditional accounts hold a 20% cash to take advantage of special oversold situations with stalwart stocks like that British Petroleum (BP) a few years ago because of that Gulf of Mexico oil spill, but I will ratchet that 20% to 40% until this Tetrad cycle blows over on September 28, 2016.

I will prod CPB to stay up past midnight with me on Monday to observe a developing and potentially market moving event. I hope many POTC partners follow my lead.

For those interested in more information, NASA's Astronomer Mitzi Adams and Astrophysicist Alphonse Sterling will start taking questions via a live web chat beginning at 1 a.m. EDT, April 15th.

And for those of you who don't believe this Tetrad will have negative consequences on your money, at least you have an opportunity to witness a breathtakingly colorful moon - and if for nothing else - its romantic value! I hope I didn't lose Capitalist Pig Bob's attention with my lunar investment theory, because even if it ends up being wrong he better not start snoring before 2am ET and prove that he also dismissed the other value a blood moon offers!

Thanks to POTC for publishing this piece, and I wish fat PEETA profits to all Partners in this 2Q, 2014,
