Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

On Krispy Kreme. They seem to be very cultish nation-wide, at least in that part of the nation to which they've expanded. I follow them as much as anything because their stock has high short-interest; a lot of people betting it to go down, with a lot also betting it to go up. It's worth remembering when investing that there are a lot of people in this world who aren't you, but especially on the short side: a company that can get 5% of America absolutely enthralled with it can make a lot of money, regardless of what the other 95% think.
