The Sheer Idiocy Of The Markets In One Chart... Is Back
When Google bought Nest (for its smart, intrusive thermostat technology that gives the NSA a front-row seat into the heating requirements of Americans), little did it know that it was purchasing an OTC penny stock with the ticker NEST and a market cap of a few hundred thousand. Or maybe, Google knew very well what it paid $3 billion for, and it was the increasingly prevalent idiots that make up the stock market that were confused. Either way, just like TWTRQ was TWTR for a few short days, so NEST (not to be confused with the GOOG acquisition target if even that is precisely what happened) is now the second coming of the unmitigated idiocy that defines the "market"
Meet Nestor (ticker symbol NEST) - a small company from Rhode Island that makes traffic systems - different to Nest - the thermostat-maker that Google just bought for $3.2 billion. NEST was up 4900% at its peak yesterday on massive volume.
One just has to laugh and yes, Jordan Belfort would be proud.

Google bought Nest? I, for one, welcome my NSA overlords into every single aspect of my life.
Your brains are seeing NSA agents hidden everywhere. Paranoia is a helluva drug.
Did you see the latest where they are implanting (or having the manufacturers implant) an additional radio network card so they can monitor "disconnected" computers? They don't need to be everywhere to gather data, the data goes to them.
Yes I did. I agree that the intelligence and spy agencies are out of control and way outside their bounds. But what I'm talking about is when people start making things up to the point where nobody can release anything on the internet without supposedly being involved with the NSA.
that's exactly what a NSA agent would say....
How many agents does the NSA have working for them? Millions? Tens of millions? Billions?
Delusional Bitcoiners (err.... NSA starting a crypto currency) think an IP based wealth management system is liberty and freedom - in todays NSA environment. LMFAO.
Whisper rumor that utility customers will be able to deposit maleware-mined bitcoin into their nest thermostats via Bluetooth to pay heating bills.
Fonestar... what really happens are NSA algorhythms watching servers until the servers flag something of interest.
Just for argument sake, NSA plants sensors in Nest thermostat and can monitor/grab Fonestar data. Gain access to your wireless network from inside and capture your bitcoin keystrokes.
Would be nice if you could buy something without it being bugged. To say it's paranoia is naive.
There's just as many counterforensic measures as there are active and passive collection techniques. It's not something that would scare me out of my substantial investment in Bitcoin.
You have finally convinced me to invest in Bitcoin!
Where do I download my software suite of counterforensic measures?
Where can I buy hardware that has counterforensic measures already built in?
Do the vendors accept BTC, are they free, or must I use my Chase Visa with best-in-class security features?
Does the software come with the auto-update option defaulted to yes?
What about the option to send usage data to help improve future versions? Should I allow...or no?
The Great Satoshi must approve all, but he's allegedly a marked man, with a target on his back per the NSA/CIA/Interpol/KGB/Legion of Doom, so good luck on getting a face-to-face.
What's interesting is that farmers make up less than 5% of the United States now but over 93% of stupid comments on Zerohedge attacking Bitcoin. Draw your own conclusions.
But where is Satoshi?
I'm asking seriously.
He can't out himself, right, because they'll kill him and all that, even though Wells Fargo apparently prefers bitcoin over mary jane money?
I don't know where Satoshi is, don't care where Satoshi is. It makes no difference to Bitcoin, Bitcoin's adoption, Bitcoin's value or Bitcoin's users.
Really?
Wells Fargo is allegedly setting up operations to accept bitcoin, yet Satoshi is still on the uber-secret capture or kill list, and can't come out and show his face?
I want to ask him what's in the case and what color the boathouse at Hereford is.
Only if he gets that critical information correct will I trust the alleged person that some call SATOSHI.
Satoshi will most likely never come out of hiding. Couldn't care less. And if it prevents a bunch of idiots from getting into Bitcoin I couldn't care less.
But why won't "he ever come out of hiding?"
You stated you don't care whether he ever does or not, but do you know why he may not?
If not (and you may truly not know and/or have any logical theories as to why "Satoshi" may "never come out of hiding"), that's cool.
There's just a critical difference in what I'm asking and in what you're responding with.
Why do you care if he comes out of hiding? Is it important somehow? Does everyone downloading Linux in 2014 need to know the names of everyone employed by Bell Laboratories in 1969?
I don't care. I just want my counterforensic measures.
fonestar=xenofrog --> attempt to discredit btc amongst zerohedge.
xenofrog, I give you one piece of advice: the people in here make their minds on their own
also, it's becoming obvious that you're paid by the post
I'm not Xenofrog, MDB, Francis or anyone else you tool. There's a long and documented history of fonestar (the only fonestar) being kicked off message boards all over the place for radical Bitcoinism.
Where is Satoshi?...
He travels between Russia and Brazil sharing Ed Snowden's and Gleen Greenwald's crib(s).
Hedge... you are not far off. The NSA revalations have given birth to a counter culture of anti-spy systems and processes. I myself have given up on Windows OS and I now am using Linux based systems.
Any of you Windows folks out there do yourself a favor and experiment using Zorin OS 7 or 8 Beta.
http://zorin-os.com/
You can try it free, put it on a bootable thumbdrive and test it live. Zorin is a good start for Windows users to get their feet wet.
Thanks, I might try this on an old laptop that aged like a dog. Seems Windows boxes always seem to slow down over time with all the "updates." Either that or they are all mining fonestar's BTC.
pods
Heh heh, yes I put it on old pc's and laps and they work great. The Zorin interface is not hard to learn.
Your NEST, cell phone, iPad, On*Star, WiFi enabled HP printer, and AT&T DSL Modem all run Linux?
Cool!
Linux plus fonestar's counterforensicthingamajigs and my newly aquired Bitcoin wealth will be safe and sound!
Maybe the CEO of Sun Microsystems was wrong when he said, "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
Printers, routers and other peripherals that run linux have been found to have ports open that allow people to connect to them over the internet using telnet.
For years, Linux desktop users had it easy. Their Windows brothers and sisters had to deal with an unending stream of malware; but other than a handful of exploits aimed mostly at Linux servers, there were no real Linux Trojans or viruses. Oh well, all good things must come to an end.
http://www.zdnet.com/linux-desktop-trojan-hand-of-thief-steals-in-700001...
Hand of thief still has no reliable means of entering into a Linux system. The only way that the hand of thief developers recommend is trying to send an email to the victim trying to convinces them to click on a link that will download the malware. As you all know, this does not work very well anymore. It’s still not like Windows and BSD malware where they could just pass through an open port using a worm.
Also, Linux is being targeted because it is getting more popular.
If there is to be any meaningful rebellion against the current system, then privacy must be secured as much as possible for those who fight.
It can be done, but it will be a tough fight.
As for OS, either Debian or Qubes are your only two options of hope right now.
http://qubes-os.org/trac
I will do that just to get rid of the gigantic piece of shit that is Windows 8.
Thanks for the link ;-) I'm getting ready to buy some new laptops and dread using that 'Microslop Windows 8os'.
I knew if I kept reading I'd get to a Bitcoin post from you. Still, three non-Bitcoin posts in a row shows your therapy lessons must be starting to pay off.
So I SHOULD wrap my thermostat in tinfoil then? Or just the Smartmeter outside? The Ford?

Not only is an IP based system better it helps solidify the global internet against government spy agencies.
fonestar is emulating the spirit of this article very well. Sheer Idiocy.
Its like ZH has caught an STD with fonestar comments flaring up all over.
>>> Its like ZH has caught an STD with fonestar comments flaring up all over.
1. LOLOLOL
2. Makes you wonder the agenda behind that, doesn't it?
So fonestar -Why is that the Federal Government had a mandate actual deadline for IPv6 in early 2007 and never implemented it?
Too many other IP security and name service protocol standards through the IETF since 1999 that are out there but haven't been used by the likes of AT&T/NSA, Verizon/NSA among others...
Wouldn't this help bolster Bitcoins use if those service standards were finally put in place or perhaps a roundtable of European and Asian concerns that are already way ahead of North America in using them to develop the next generation level of IP and name service security in those protocol(s)?...
If you want to build confidence in using networks and computer systems that have been exploiting the hell out of our privacy you should be looking for a plan to build that level of trust which means making those providers of those services responsible, reliable and accountable -No?
My own feeling is that ipv6 was delayed by people dragging their feet and not by any conspiracy. People only act when they are absolutely forced to act and yes, ipv6 will offer better inherit secuirty.
Why would the powers that be "drag the feet"?...
Better than 90% of the Fed has implemented to the core, but why did they just stop cold turkey?...
It's not exactly a trivial task for companies, organizations all over the world to start writing, re-writing code for all their devices for ipv6.
No it certainly is not. But if you have service standards of more than 15 years already available but not activated and mandates to implement those IP networks to make them more secure but for some reason chose not to follow through -it raises many questions conspiracy believer or not.
Once in place it sure as hell will beat the pants off of NAT!
I rest my case!
Part of the problem is that the Client-Server Model fits like a glove to the NSA at this point.
It's time to engineer everytime to a more P2P format.
Bitcoin was a nice step, but we need more.
Uh, what "Client-Server Model" would that be? And how do you figure it fits like a glove?
when you consider that equipment and software is used as 'agents' then the answer is YES millions or tens of millions
"How many agents does the NSA have working for them? Millions? Tens of millions? Billions?"
Is the info on our smartphones and computers(and any general appliance with a chip) which is sent to a data crunching algo bot counted as an agent? If so, then billions
Fonestar, i really do hope your posts are limited to 21 million.
Each of my 21 million comments can be further broken down into 1 million spamtoshi.
I would reply but I'm afraid the NSA is locking in on my current location.
Google is partners with the NSA if not part of the NSA now... do the math.
A few years back some flash memory company made a wi-fi enabled SD card for use in cameras. It turned out to be a problem for those who took pictures of wifey in a naked condition, because walking around with the camera exposed the pictures to anyone capable of receiving the wi-fi signal.

I think somebody is stealing your bitcoins as we speak....
I just checked my QT client, they're fine.
how do you know they didn't mirror the site and redirected you to get your password?
DARPA made the internet. P2P made the internet equal.
So, you think that key logging on your hardware's BIOS/motherboard is unpossible?
No, it's far from impossible and one of the reasons I am so against TPM and trusted computing.
.....except for the fact most of you don't even have a freaking clue what that means.
You smug prick.
What do you know.
What can you make.
What can you PRODUCE?
I hope you are the computer genius you imply that you are so you can protect your precious.
I don't "produce" anything. I don't make anything. But then again, I never promised much to begin with.
Are you another dumb farmer or something?
No not a farmer
But you might just be .
Plant your little bitcoin seeds in the speculative hope that they grow.
Good for you
.....except for the fact most of us don't even give a fucking shit what that means.
There, fixed it.
I see. You want to engage in technical discussions while admiting you don't know or care what you're talking about. That's kind of what I thought.
Bad enough to be a bankers shill
But to be an unwitting bankers shill,that's not cool.
But hey oh,each to their own.
Now go pump those bit coins for your beloved leader.
At least the North Koreans know who their satoshi is
In talking about TPM, Trusted Platform Module, the concerns include the abuse of remote validation of software,where the manufacturer and not the user who owns the computer system, decides what software is allowed to run and possible ways to follow actions taken by the user being recorded in a database, in a manner that is completely undetectable to the user.
Yes, beyond disabling TPM in the BIOS I highly recommend physically removing the chip from your motherboard. This can be done fairly easily by anyone with a steady hand and a schematic diagram. Just remember, if you already have a windoze install it will no longer boot.
Safely investing in Bitcoin sounds so easy even a farmer could do it!
Do I install your counterforensicthingamajigs before, or after physically removing the chip from my motherboard?
Stop talking bullshit, it shows you have not once used a soldering iron on a printed circuit board in real life. Goddammit why don't you crawl back to where you came from and while we are on the subject take your insane clown posse with you when you go.
I have removed three of these chips so far myself idiot.
Perhaps links to educate would be good contributions to ZH.
Just a suggestion unless you like negative feedback.
Most of the chips are made by Infineon and clearly marked "TPM" right on them.
OK.
That was simple enough, once I found the one I think you are talking about.
I yanked that "clearly marked" fucker out of my PC and the screen went all blue. Now what?
If I had known that safely investing in bitcoin was going to be so much fun, then I would have done it months ago!
How am I going to be able to install the counterforensicthingamajigs with the screen like this?
I hope my Quicken still works, because I will need to write a check to buy my bitcoins, right?
How do I start Quicken with the screen all blue?

Oh shit!
I did a restart...now I got nothing!
What should I do, fonestar?
TPM chips are nothing more than an smartcart in a chip, soldered on your motherboard (some are removable, in a slot). It does nothing more or less than any smartcard does.
Now, to say that Windows is more secure when you have TPM is naive. Windows is designed in such a way as to permit execution of any code signed by "special keys". Microsoft claims they are only their own, but folks have found references to NSAKEY in Windows code and ... it was already reported hackers had access to Windows code signing keys ..... so, take all this claims with a grain of salt!
Windows executes such code without any warning or indication. It's "code from the vendor", trusted...
Now, some "speculation":
This alone means that at least Microsoft has the ability to execute any code on your computer. You should already know, that Microsoft is an US corporation, that always follows orders from the US Government. If NSA asks Microsoft to run some software on your computer, they will. And because when NSA asks such things, they provide gag orders, Microsoft will not be able to tell you.
So make your own opinion out of this. Can NSA run code on your computer, or not.
end of "speculation".
The TPM chips have some other "nice" feature. One of the especially "nice" feature of TPM chips is that unlike any sane HSM, they can export keys to another TPM module. Nice eh?
Also, the TPM module contains an signature fingerprint, which is unique. By virtue of being soldered on your motherboard, it makes for an very handy unique identifier for your computer. Any software on your computer (hint: Windows) that has access to the TPM chip, can transmit this identifier where it chooses... to Microsoft, to let them know what software you have installed (licenses, etc trivialities), or to any web site that asks... kindly enough.
Further, the TPM chip is a very nice feature that software vendors (including Microsoft) appreciate: it can be used to license specific software to specific computer only. Even make it so that the software can't run on any other computer, even if you copy it, because it lacks the required signature etc..
There is more, of course....
to paraphrase Lily Tomlin, no matter how paranoid you get, it's just impossible to keep up with them.
That's like politicians, get caught in a lie and tell two more to get out of it.
No, cocaine is a helluva drug.

How's it going man. I see the barking seal trolls are out in force, red-arrowing their little hearts out. Funny how it doesn't make a difference, you know? We've got some big things brewing in Bitcoin land, and I guess they'll come kicking and screaming eventually.
Not that it matters to my bottom line, sitting pretty well with Bitstamp at 848 - looking for some more basing action before it breaks out of the channel we've been in for the past seven days or so.
Overstock was a great help, not really giving a shit about the Wells Fargo news though - they're just trying to get regs passed to stifle competition, no doubt. Part of the "study your enemy" phase.
Anyway, don't mind the fools. One of the pre-requisites of changing someone's mind is assuming they have critical thinking skills and the logic to work through counter-arguments. In this case, I'd say that assumption would be deeply flawed.
Saves us from having to fix the front door since there is no need for them to kick it in.

my new metaphor for what berdonke is doing to the economy:''
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81814410/
The big lie...The FED or congress cares about unemployment". The FED has backed itself into a corner and only cares about keeping interest rates low since a jump in rates will cost US Govt. billions, maybe trillions over a few years. So the BS about caring about job creation is pure BS. QE is a zero sum game. Initially it gave the economy a boost by jump starting housing. Now the ZIRP means less income for savers while SPX goes parabolic.
First thermostats, then thermometers. Would you like to be a beta tester for Google's new wi-fi enabled rectal thermometer? It even has a built-in DNA tester. Only 2 inches (50.8 mm) thick. BOHICA.
Relax..........Just a little pressure.
now's the time to go long on NEST
suckers
And I bet they reverse the trades because big bank algo scum enriched the small time shareholder in Nestor!!!
Its a pity when a fine upstanding company like Nest which makes (self)important doodads and doohickeys for the (overly)well-heeled is mistaken for a pathetic two-bit operation that makes something so unessential to mankind like .... traffic lights. A pity.
Besides, the NSA probably monitors video feeds from all the traffic lights already. But what will they do after an EMP strike? I've seen conspiracy theorists claim there will be a false flag EMP event, but why would they do that and lose all the intel they get? Or is all the country's infrastructure already hardened?
AND SUDDENLY EVERYBODY WANT'S A traffic system...
yeah...
because everybody loves traffic... and systems... and stuff... google...

"No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people." - H. L. Mencken
Sure, there's no scope for insider mischief here at all. Third time'll be the charm.
... US is dumbing down at accelerating speed. If the FED ever start to normalise the size of its balance sheet (i.e. not taper, but actually shrinking the amount of assets it bought) equities will tank at least 50%
Reducing their balance sheet implies they will be selling toxic MBS back into the market at inflated prices or Treasury debt whose interest payments used to be paid back to the Treasury by the Fed. Just the poison we don't need. The can only reduce its balance sheet with writeoffs or lies. It can only grow as they allow the fraud to continue.
In future news: Google/NSA advised that you are only allowed to take a dump on Monday-Wednesday-Friday, no flushing will be allowed on off days, also thermostats will be controlled only by NSA (jump F#$kers)
I wonder when the NSA will come up with an app to control when I poop.

edit: oh wait, at 2 cents a share, maybe they're multi-hundredaires.
The trading was 2MM shares at $0.02. A little over $40K, not really newsworthy....
exactly. hyperbole is real.
I'll take that trade.
Just imagine it all turned off - all wireless access, ATMs, checkout counters, credit cards, gas pumps, EBT ... This is how they will condition the masses; three days no noncash access. National guard at every pump and Safeway front doors. Wake up to it Monday morning, too late to do a damn thing.
That is all it would take and the very great majority of Amerikans would very quickly form a line for Govt. cheese out the back of a deuce-and-a-half in the Safeway parkiing lot.
You could come up with any excuse that would fly and the most would accept it; just get the machines turned back on.
Voila, instant consensus. I personally feel quite confident we will see something like this. Imagine it and prepare accordingly.

Google would have been better off buying the Rhode Island traffic light company. NEST's technology has a short shelf life. Someone else will come up with a better high tech thermostat in short order. And how many times do you buy a thermostat?
Google won't be as lucky with this NEST acquisition as Exxon was when it unloaded its Reliance Electric Unit in 1986, seven years after it bought Reliance. Exxon lost money on the deal, but not that much. And Exxon bought Reliance mostly for its PR value, to show everyone Exxon was interested in energy efficiency. Exxon could afford the purchase, it made tens of billions in excess profits overcharging American consumers in the late 1970s, daisychaining the price of oil shipments. As well as cheating the governnment out of royalties on unreported oil wells on government land. Remember then President Carter wearing a sweater as he made a televised national address about conserving energy?
Google is joined at the hip with the NSA, so this purchase could be a way of helping out the NSA, by showing that privacy is a costly privilege that doesn't exist in the 21st century.
Until, of course, Snowden releases his crown jewels, where he shows how NSA tracking information was provided to hit squads.

Exxon Will Sell Reliance Electric Unit for $1.35 Billion and Pull Out of Field December 12, 1986|Associated PressNEW YORK — Exxon Corp. said Thursday that it is getting out of the electrical equipment business by selling its Reliance Electric Co. and other companies managed by Reliance for $1.35 billion.
Analysts hailed the move, long expected as the likely end to what had been seen as an embarrassing, mistaken venture by the world's largest oil company.
It came just one day after Exxon said it will join Rockefeller Group in selling Exxon's 54-story midtown headquarters to the Japanese conglomerate Mitsui & Co. for $610 million. Exxon said that deal would give it a one-time gain of about $246 million in its fourth-quarter earnings.
Together, the two sales represent the latest steps in a continuing retrenchment by Exxon in the face of new economic realities brought by the yearlong oil price collapse.
Earlier, Exxon cited that reason in announcing a major restructuring of its worldwide oil and gas operations, a 26% cut in capital and exploration spending and a plan to cut 6,370 workers from its staff of 146,000.
In Thursday's statement, Exxon said it would sell Reliance and the other businesses to a group of investors composed of Reliance management, Citicorp Capital Investors and Prudential-Bache Securities.
The deal should be concluded by the end of the month, Exxon said, adding that it expected to generate an after-tax gain of more than $275 million from the sale.
Company spokesman Bill Smith said it was not clear if all the gain would be recorded in the fourth quarter.
Exxon bought Reliance, a Cleveland-based manufacturer of motors and other electrical communications and weighing equipment, for $1.236 billion in 1979.
The company was hoping to profit from technological developments contained in an energy-saving device for electric motors, for which it held commercial rights. But the technology eventually proved to be commercially unfeasible.
Called 'A Great Move'
"This has been viewed as their largest discrete acquisition which clearly was unsuccessful, and to their credit, they're owning up to it and going to write it off," said Sanford Margoshes, an analyst who watches oil companies for the Shearson Lehman Bros. securities firm. "Good for them."
Bruce Lazier, an analyst at Prescott, Ball & Turben, called the Reliance sale "a great move."
"They lost a little pride, because it didn't make them look like great technical geniuses, to invest all that money into a gizmo that didn't work after two years of research," he said. "But at least the value of Reliance improved enough over the years that they got back their principal."
In announcing the sale, Exxon took pains to note that the Reliance acquisition did not lose money.
"Taking into account Exxon's original purchase cost, movements of cash, and property between Exxon and the Reliance Electric group in the intervening years, and the proceeds of the sale, Exxon's investment . . . over the period 1979 through 1986 will have provided a substantial positive net cash flow to Exxon," the statement said.
Includes Other Firms
The Reliance Electric group of companies was expanded to include other Exxon activities in 1985, the largest of which was Gilbarco Inc., which makes pumps, measuring devices and service station dispensing equipment.
I have a spare thermostat for my 1992 toyota corolla and last month I had to replace the distributor. The alternator, starter and battery are new and most of the light bulbs so I should have an NSA free vehicle available for sale to the Sinaloa Cartel in a few years. Restore you older vehicles. They'll be needed.
"Idiocy" is a word that is not appropriate.
Its Cause and Effect. Oligarchy wants to protect its gains by any/all means.
Its gone to the extent of making the asset/commodity/ money Markets its Harem Bitches; all doused in spicy, derivative perfume.
We are now in OLIGOPOLISTIC markets that belong to the money aristocrats. Harem Sultans.
Change your language accordingly.
The Market is now a hooker who performs for the RICH.
As Libertarians you have not realised that this is the logical conclusion to Pax Americana's march to an APEX society. Means and Ends; you're in the wrong paradigm.
As perceived from their Olympus you or I don't count. And the market is now just a mechanism to raise TRIBUTE to the rich from the poor; the exact contrary to the redistribution of taxes in a welfare state construct. We will rue the day we lost honest representative government that shared out the wealth of nations to within the constraints of self supporting economies.
In their old Welfare state world, money like water flowed downhill espousing gravity.
Our bitchy oligarchy market is now PUMPING money up to the APEX, against gravity; more and more.
One day gravity will have the final word like in Zorba the Greek!
Never forget Greece's legacy even if you be an Internet geek.
In times of Awesome social regression, its good to remember those who made the world go the OTHER way.
