With an annual pilgrimage to the cooler climate, north west and a higher altitude during the month of August … The first family member to see the gigantic Windmills always takes note as sort of a land mark in getting closer….
While we have collectively noticed more of said Windmills, and seeing them sooner… no idea of the country dominance of our southern state in Wind Generation Electricity…
If you really want to have some fun with this, the website link below will let you scroll over all of New York at it is today and through the glass eye as it was in the early 19th century… or vice versa as shown in the last picture here…
Another terrific presentation by our friends here at Visual Capitalist …
With the proliferation of spam, cyber attacks and just some bad actors out there, it may be a good idea to register your name as well as your family members name for your own safety…
We have registered all of our family names on the big five at the time of registration, gmail, hotmail, outlook, yahoo and icloud…. these are no longer the biggest…see below
Even if you do not plan on using the provider, it may make sense to register so some “bad Actor” does not pose as you…
Ok, we get it, with a weird last name like ours, it was not that hard, those with more normal names may have a tougher time, but you may still want to try…. bad guys are not going away!
The Largest Email Providers
The following is a snap shot of the last frame of this neat graphic from Statics and Data…
Not sure if any of you noticed the last few videos are not coming through email notification well…but we did… and it is currently being fixed….
Hence the Snapshot, we know that will work…
Here is the actual embedded video… if you see a video, it has been fixed, if just a link, not fixed yet…
There you have it… another in our Why series AND a light, fun and hopefully helpful post labor day article!
Have a Great “Register Your Name on that Email” Day!
Our friends at Visual Capitalist drew attention to this awesome visual, but we had to source the information for posting on our website at YouTube from Earthbyte …
With a heavier, long Monday post and in the throws of Taxes for many, present party included…. we went light with a fun animated chart for you viewing pleasures!
We love to break the monotony of the usual Financial “Stuff” with an off topic just to keep it fun…. Fortunately there are some really interesting and unusual charts that grab our attention frequently!
Our friends and Visual Capitalist continue to push out some of the neatest charts ever ….
With an unused make up snow day today (not sure how that happened but oh well) – kiddos out today – and next week being Spring Break an attempt personally to take some R & R time next week, I am out today and next week….
Always tethered, this time lightly as Jen and Donald are very capable of covering !
BREAK IN – Spring has sprung… each year the family watches for the early budding Tree in the back yard… Great News, the deep freeze of just a few weeks ago did not do our early budding tree in AND in the last 24 hours the blooms have started…
Who needs the Groundhog… kidding-
Well done Pierce for spotting !
Newsletter Update
While gone, the finishing touches will be put on the Newsletter, AND next week we will do a shortened version of one of the main articles – Why You Should Check Your Social Security Earnings Record Now!
Time Change Weekend – YAY
In addition to a little R and R, next week, we get my favorite time change! YAY
Sure we lose an hour of sleep…
Sure it seems to take a bit longer to adjust as the years go by…
But the Suns stays up LATE in the evenings…
Friday and Next Weeks Posts
If I can stay away from the keyboard – no promises…haha
In addition to the Newsletter Preview Post mentioned above, a re-run of another reminder post will occur as well.. hat tip DK from the field as a neat reminder!
Ahhhh…. but today is a Friday and I am away, but tethered lightly… enjoy your weekend and your Friday!
After a fairly heavy February Review post and looking back into February’s posts …. seeing a lot of heavy … we intentionally went very light and much to the happiness of 13 year old, who is a regular gamer..
50 Years of Gaming History –
From our Friends at Visual Capitalist – Wow they really do great work!
Amazing, but not surprising how much Mobile (red) makes up now and looks to continue dominating other devices.
While Elon Musk can certainly be a controversial figure… especially with his Cell phone and Twitter App Opened… he has a way of making successful endeavors.
Not withstanding the above, we find Musk an innovator and certainly not afraid of what critics may say. Here and here and even here in our Newsletter earlier this year we spoke of Musk. With Musk’s announcement of moving to Austin Texas, we likely will be seeing and hearing more from him.
The following chart was just too good to pass up from our friends at Visual Capitalist.
As a reminder, a short seller makes a bet the stock will go down, which usually happens much faster than a stock climbs, by borrowing the stock from some one, selling it with the intent of buying it back at a lower price. Two big catches with this technique are that a short sellers losses are unlimited as a stock may grow to the sky and if too many shorts end up on the same company, a short squeeze or unnecessary and unwarranted run up in the stock as everyone buys to cover may occur….. trampling the Shorts !
On a smack dab in the middle of the week, heading into a holiday shortened coming week … we thought it nice to keep it simple…
Population Density 3-D Chart
From our friends at Visual Capitalist, who continue to pump out some of the neatest charts ever…

With Monday being a holiday, our office as well as Capital Markets will be closed… planning on being in and out (mostly the latter) Friday as well… always tethered electronically!
