The Paul campaign is pushing to raise $5m by the end of this quarter (in 7 days) They’ve already raised $3.2m so far in this drive. An impressive take for a grassroots campaign. No $36k-A-PLATE dinners like Pres. Obama staged tonight in Manhattan (one of three fundraisers today).

Mr. Rogers on Dylan Ratigan (June 16). Entertaining, as always.
“Counsel, you’re scaring me”, Mr. Rathers said. “You should be scared, I’m scared. You can’t not be scared.”, former TARP Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky replied.
Worth watching, link. Barofsky mentions that S&P estimates the next financial crisis could cost $5 trillion. Wonder how much will a Big Mac will cost by the time these problems are monetized resolved.
Back in April I entered a contest at ShortScreen.com. Ended up winning an iPad2!
So thanks to Dave Pinsen and the guys over there. My blogging productivity is at near-year lows, thanks to the new precious. And my 24 mo kid monopolizes it if I take it out around him. Two, and he plays Angry Birds. By himself. I’m glad I won this thing, because I probably wouldn’t have swallowed my anti-Apple pride and bought one.
The goal of the contest was to make a compelling short case, to be voted upon by their premium members. My pick, DEER, a Chinese consumer firm with (alleged) book issues fell from around $9 to $8 during the month ($6.69 today.)
They have some nice-looking tools for screening out short opportunities, and an App called Portfolio Armor that helps you find the cheapest puts to hedge long positions. Check it out.
