Austin By God Texas — Chips, Dips, Tesla, and Tech

Big Red Car — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 23:13:41 +0000

One of the things we learned during the Pandemic’s early days before we became obsessed by lockdowns and mandates was that the United States had a great number of strategic industries in which our supply lines started in China, thereby making us vulnerable to the whims of an enemy. Yes, I said an ENEMY. Chief […]

A Hat Tip to the US Economy

Big Red Car — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 16:58:24 +0000

I am quite bullish on the US economy over the short term — meaning until the Biden admin straps on the increased tax weights and we all try to swim with those babies drowning us. Hell, there is a great chance it may not even cross the finish line. I like to take a look […]

Apple Bonds — Making Applesauce

Big Red Car — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 14:24:14 +0000

Beautiful day in the lovely city of Atlanta enroute back to Savannah from whence I fled Dorian the Hurricane Monster. It was a pleasant diversion with one of the highlights being the Georgia Aquarium, a recommendation from a pal/reader. Great recommendation. So, Apple has just sold some corporate bonds. Corporate bond yields are trending down […]

Threesomes With Siri

Big Red Car — Fri, 30 Aug 2019 14:02:18 +0000

If you own an Apple phone and use Siri — face it, who doesn’t — you may not realize that when you found yourself in an “intimate” moment, you may really have been enjoying a threesome with Siri. Apple had a program wherein they captured “inadvertent” conversations including you doing the wild thing [or discussing […]

Beating the Apple Tax

Big Red Car — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 15:49:54 +0000

The Apple Store (since 2008) and the Google Play Store (a few months later) exact a thirty percent tax on all transactions. That’s 30%! This is called the Apple Tax. Folks who sell through the Apple and Google Play stores believe that is an obscenely high fee. Color your Big Red Car amongst those who […]

Big Red Car feeling cheeky with announcement that Apple has decided to go long on Austin By God Texas by building a new corporate campus to cost more than $1,000,000,000 and create more than 15,000 jobs.

The Wizard of Omaha and Tech

Big Red Car — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:56:56 +0000

Big Red Car here on a lovely, sunny Texas day, y’all. Hope it is going well for you and yours. I always like to take a peek at what Warren Buffet owns as it relates to stocks. It is often an eye opener. It is often pretty damn plain vanilla and boring, but something caught […]

Big Red Car — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:47:06 +0000

Clean energy is hard to be against unless its cost is an issue. The Big Red Car is here for y’all on a cloudy day in the ATX. Talking clean energy. Clean energy is a big umbrella which covers solar, wind, water, geothermal, bioenergy, and nuclear. Hello, America, NUCLEAR? OK, so maybe the DOE definition […]
