There are great trades in a changing world.

Play this full screen, high volume. It’s wonderful.

And now for some real science

You actually need this cheap gadget

Checking your oxygen level with this pulse oximeter could provide an early warning system for the kinds of really awful breathing problems associated with Covid pneumonia.

There are two articles that explain all. Please read them:

The Infection That’s Silently Killing Coronavirus Patients
This is what I learned during 10 days of treating Covid pneumonia at Bellevue Hospital.

More reasons I don’t want the virus

+ You can get a stroke and pneumonia.

+ Even if you recover you could suffer serious long-term effects.

+ If you recover, you could catch it again. Immunity is not proven, yet.

+ Distancing is key to limiting its spread. Sadly, many people are cavalier about distancing, viz. weekend photos of crowded Florida and California beaches.

Searching for hot 5G stocks

Also called putting lipstick on a pig.

This company makes MiFi Hotspot gadgets, including ones that work on 5G.

I’m the biggest telecom gadget freak.  I’ve used their products when I traveling and when they were called Novatel. I have a desk draw full of them.  But now I use the Personal Hotspot feature on my iPhone It’s cheaper and just as good. An Inseego device has to be set up as a psuedo-cell phone, replete with it’s own SIM card.

Here’s Inseego’s miserable growth and even more miserable earnings:

I don’t own any shares in INSG.

But I did buy a handful of shares in NAT — North American Tanker.

The NYTimes had a piece:

The Oil Industry’s Glut Has a Bright Spot: Tanker Storage
Shipping companies, which can command more than $200,000 a day for a vessel, are cashing in on increased demand.

The NAT CEO came on Cramer on Friday bubbling about how was printing money. The most profitable time in his company’s life. And all that. Cramer couldn’t shut him up talking about the mot profitable time in his life. But his results are also miserable. Maybe they’ll spike soon.?

The New York Times tanker piece is here.

Not easy to find “hot” stocks today. I keep looking. I wish I had bought more Zoom.

Do not buy PC Matic

They’re pumping this virus checked like crazy on bubble vision. You don’t want it. Trust me.

I woke up this morning. It was snowing. It was beautiful.

Hard to photograph snow in the early morning blue light with my iPhone 11. But beautiful, nevertheless.

I spied some Spring daffodils …but then they got covered by the snow.

What happened to Spring?

How productive are you working from home?

I did a little survey among my friends and family and asked “How productive are you working from home?

I got results ranging from 50% — “”Working from home sucks. I give it a 50%. It has been horrible, it’s boring and it’s unhealthy. I don’t see how it’s even feasible for young people in small apartments with roommates, or working class middle aged people in a smallish house with 2-4 kids. All this blogging about how the world will abandon the office and now work from home is nonsense.”

I got one friend telling me it’s better than working at the office — “no office distractions. I can be busy on the phone 12 hours a day easily.” He figures 120%.

Other friends are in the 85% to 95% range.

I find working from home adds weight to my middle line. I need to practice social distancing between me and the fridge. The biggest risk favor for Covid-19 is obsesity.

Re-open the economy?

I wish people were more respectful of distancing. Pictures of full beaches in California and Florida over the weekend were depressing.

So they open Vegas? Good luck. Who’s going to go? Not me.

Weird world.

Most commercial and residential rents got paid for April. New York City ailed the most.

Make sure you watch the video at the top. It’s beautifully done.

See you tomorrow.  Harry Newton

    Hi Harry, I have been following your website for years. Studied telecommunications (MS at SMU) and your Telecom Dictionary was a recommended reference book. That was the start. It has been a delight to learn from you over the years. I am always curious about what you are interested in. Not sure you get much (compensation) for putting you thoughts down for all read, but I appreciate it, a lot. Keep it up. I mostly prefer the stuff wherein you share your ideas or analysis and not so much the stuff dominating social media.

    Harry…I have had it with you…I know you will immediately delete this, however, you will get the message first. You and your sick friend Mike Nash are going down the same senile road together. We have known each other for 35-40 years and I thought of you as a good friend. I used to respect you…you had such a positive attitude and gave such good presentations at TCA and ICA.
    No more…now you are disgustingly cynical and so terribly negative. YOU MAKE ME SICK!
    I am deleting any reference to you…you can print your own jokes rather than the many I have provided you with over the years…do not try to email or phone me as I am blocking you as much as possible. You claim to be an American now…yet…all you do is knock America and the president of the United States that has made millions for you. Why don’t you go back to Australia and take Nash with you.YOU BOTH MAKE ME SICK! You show no respect for the office of the President.
    I have considered doing this for the past 6-12 months…the time has come.
