LeBron James Is Buying Up All MSG Stock in Anticipation of Becoming a NY Knick
Jul 7th
As of 2:45 p.m., shares of Madison Square Garden Inc., which includes the Knicks and the MSG Network, were up 1.21 percent to $20.51, but the bigger story was in the options pits.
There’s been twice as many contracts sold to people betting that MSG stock will rise to $22.50 by the end of the month as compared to people betting it will fall to $20 by July’s end.
“There’s absolutely no justification for this activity other than the LeBron James play,” said Jon Najarian, co-founder of Trade Monster and a CNBC contributor. “People will most likely continue to speculate into tomorrow’s announcement.”
Meanwhile, at InTrade, the odds that LeBron stays a Cavalier has plummeted back to 50%. Is anyone trading shares of MSG and the Intrade contracts together as some kind of pair trade?

McDonald’s Places Condoms in Happy Meals by Accident
Jul 7th
Last week McDonald’s executives distributed over 5,000 Happy Meals with colored condoms instead of a plastic toy from the movie The Last Airbender.
The condoms were intended for the Provincetown, Mass. school system, which recently established a policy making them available for students of all ages; they were delivered to McDonald’s distribution center in Barnstable, Mass. in error.
Quote from the article:
| “They were so bright and colorful, they were mistaken for Happy Meal toys,” explained McDonald’s vice president of public relations Robin Anderson. “Unfortunately most of the workers there don’t read English, and they thought ‘Ribbed Latex’ was a character from The Last Airbender.”
“Who ever heard of The Last Airbender anyway?” added Jose Estevez, president of McDonald’s Distribution Union 8801, in defense of his fellow workers. The mistake led to an incident in a Brewster, Mass., McDonald’s, where more than a dozen 8-year-olds attending a birthday party Shrieks of horror ensued from several other patrons, and one elderly woman fainted when a condom balloon landed in her Filet O’ Fish. “She’d apparently never seen one that size before,” explained Brewster Police Chief Bradley Heffernan, who noted that there were some similar concerns when Congress instituted its “Cash For Condoms” program. The McDonald’s incident also caused problems in Provincetown, where the schools accidentally received the restaurant’s shipments of Last Airbender toys, and several were released to students who went into their school’s nurse’s office seeking condoms. |
Drink of the Day – Maker’s 46
Jul 6th
Maker’s 46 ($40) is an even smoother version of Maker’s Mark. It begins it’s life as normal Maker’s Mark which is removed from the barrel when it’s fully matured then 10 seared French oak staves are attached to the inside of the barrel and the Maker’s goes back for a few months to become 46. The process adds natural caramel, vanilla, and spice flavors without adding any bitterness. Only 25,000 cases will be shipped this year. So get your hands on some before @Jay_Brow buys it all.
