Viewers can expect graphic descriptions of medical procedures, resulting complications, and candid discussions of negative effects on lifestyle and sexual activity. Corporations such as Bayer and DePuy Synthes, makers of some of the devices, declined to be interviewed for the film. The film acknowledges that all medical procedures have risks, but in this film, an errant government watchdog, the FDA, allows the marketing goals of corporate entities/lobbyists to supersede the long-term well-being of patients and their families. It has a strong message, which uses testimony from patients, doctors, and other professionals. This simpleton is a contented outlier.Parents need to know that The Bleeding Edge is a frank, illuminating film for adults about failures of the FDA and medical community to carefully vet new medical devices and track long-term consequences of their implementation. So Jeff Brown and his Silicon Valley cohorts, newsletter pundits and Geek-wannabes can just keep playing in their crypto playground. Not bad for a picks-and-shovels play, huh. Now at a year old and thanks to double-digit % price surges in cryptocurrencies this November, SI trades ~$33 as I write this. This past October, one month shy of its 1st year anniversary, SI’s price was still $2 cheaper than when I first bought it at ~$16-ish despite the pandemic recovery, so I reopened a position. But hey, the pandemic crash in March sent all stocks plunging anyway, and I sold my position. Ignoring the prudent advice of waiting about 6 months after IPO date, I risked volatility by opening a position a few days after the Gumshoe tease. Travis sleuthed out the following tease in February of this year: Based in Silicon Valley, it enables the movement of digital currency between exchanges and investors, on top of the usual banking functions. There are the picks-and-shovels plays, the more obvious ones being blockchain companies and semiconductors that coin mining depends on.Īnd then there’s my recent favorite, Silvergate Capital/Bank (ticker SI). That being said, I don’t believe all is lost if one wants to experience a little bit of the crypto action without joining the pesty newsletters. It didn’t help that this simpleton got spooked upon learning that any government can decide to replace its current fiat currency with ONE, official digital coin and deem all other coins and former paper money illegal. I finally concluded that I must be a simpleton for not being able to wrap my head around all that reading and video watching. It’s not for lack of trying to understand the mechanics and logistics involved with investing in bitcoin & altcoins. But wait, there’s more as these “rats and roaches” continue to multiply geometrically! Purging them from my Inbox has become a job in itself. Many of these newsletters have ended up in my Spam folder. Or reviewed by Stock Gumshoe, and any opinions expressedĪre those of the author & I echo your misgivings on investing in crypto’s, ranging from the high risk/high rewards pitched by newsletters to warnings of doom-and-gloom if we don’t subscribe to them. This is a discussion topic or guest posting submittedīy a Stock Gumshoe reader. I find it frustrating that these newsletters are saying we shouldn’t leave money in the bank, and then say we shouldn’t invest more than we can lose. These actions could soon trigger a massive change to money, as we know it…Īnd forever alter how we spend… save… and invest - practically overnight. Mark Zuckerberg is planning to launch a new technology.Īs you’ll see, Amazon is close on his heels.Īnd according to the Securities & Exchange Commission, Apple is getting in on the act, as well. Tech billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, is plotting a move so big, it’s hard to believe. I am wondering if you know anything about this and/or the blockchain and crypto investments he’s touting.įor hundreds of years, governments have kept tight control over our cash.īut soon, their money monopoly could grind to a halt. I have also had various other articles in my inbox warning of an end to the dollar and such. I received a bleeding edge newsletter with an article by Jeff Brown stating that a financial upheaval is imminent.
