1/ From a dataset of 4,003 executed and planned ICOs,
which raised a total of $12 billion in capital, nearly all since January 2017.
Average returns were 179% from the ICO price to the first day’s opening market price, over a holding period that averages just 16 days.
2/ Even after imputing returns of -100% to ICOs that don’t list their tokens within 60 days and adjusting for the returns of the asset class, the representative ICO investor earns 82%.

HODLING generated average buy-and hold additional returns of 48% in the first 30 trading days

"It's a symbolic threat that people feel, not to their own economic well-being, [but] to their group’s dominance in our country over all.”

Study finds Trump voters (white, Christian and male) were driven by fear of losing status, not economic anxiety
nyti.ms/2vI2b4j
The research debunked the "Left Behind" thesis: the likelihood of voting for Trump was *not* affected by real or perceived deterioration in one's financial situation (loss of job or income between 2012 and 2016; harm from foreign trade; unemployment etc)
Dr. Mutz reviewed other data, including National Opinion Research Center (University of Chicago) surveys, that supported this finding: anxieties about retirement, education and medical bills had little impact on whether a person supported Trump.

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)

Wow lot of big news out of Saudi tonight. Reports of big names being taken into custody (Waleed bin Talal, Khaled Tuwaijri, Waleed Ibrahim).
#PT MBS appears to be making move for whatever remaining power wasn't already under his control:
#PT Wow, this is really entering unprecedented territory for Saudi.

A few comments to follow on political dynamic driving federal Iraqi forces move into Kirkuk, now largely complete today.
First, the operation which began Thurs/Friday was telegraphed ahead of time by PM Abadi as an operation to restore joint control in Kirkuk.
If you thought the op was sudden, not planned by Iraq or out of Abadi's control, see his presser last Tuesday.
