FWIW: Trump is Raking it in: $2 Billion in “free” Advertising. “Go Trump”

Posted by silverngold @ 8:28 on March 21, 2016  

Donald Trump has earned close to $2 billion worth of free media attention during the 2016 campaign, eclipsing the total value of media attention given to all of his Republican competitors combined, a new study finds.

The findings show that Trump earned more than six times as much free coverage as his closest competitor, Ted Cruz, and more than two-and-a-half times as much free coverage as Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side.

The study, which was conducted by The New York Times using mediaQuant and SMG Delta data, offers evidence that the American news media has given vastly more coverage to Trump’s campaign.

The report will fuel arguments that media coverage has played an instrumental role in Trump’s rise to becoming the Republican presidential frontrunner.

But, of course, not all media attention is positive. The heavy coverage of Trump has included sharp scrutiny of his controversial views on race and sharp critiques of his policy proposals on issues like trade and immigration.

In nine months of campaigning, Trump has earned $1.898 billion worth of media attention from television, print and social media, the Times study finds. Cruz, by contrast, has received just $313 million, and the remaining 12 Republican candidates received even less.

Taken together, Trump’s 13 Republican competitors received a total of $1.159 in free media coverage, more than $700 million less than Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump has spent only $10 million on television advertising, accounting for half of one percent of the total value of his media attention.

By contrast, Jeb Bush spent $82 million on advertising, while Marco Rubio has spent $55 million. Bush earned just $214 million in free media coverage, while Rubio has earned just $204 million.

Trump’s free media attention also eclipses his Democratic competitors. Hillary Clinton has earned $746 million in free media coverage, while Bernie Sanders has received $321 million. Both Clinton and Sanders have spent $28 million on advertising.

My weakness in the Past

Posted by Ororeef @ 16:01 on March 20, 2016  

has been ,not in stock picking or  lack of Patience ,but in not taking profits off the Table at tops …especially short term tops  .I.v had many 10 baggers in the last 40 years ,but as the GURU of Berkshire Hathaway sez….His secret is “Dont lose money ” ,He admits his mistakes and takes his losses before they become catastrophes.My mistakes were not taking profits, then not having enough cash when the cycles turn bullish again.

And from what I hear here that seems to be a Universal problem ! Buy and hold for years is well and good in a long BULL Market ,but poor management in Bear Markets.So …WE are in a GOLD BULL MARKET ,but raising some cash on the down cycles which will occur seems to be a better solution if it affords me the cash at bottoms to take advantage of Bargains ! So hedging at the TOP and going all in at bottoms makes some sense  even in a Bull Market.,NO ? It my solution that I hope works for me ,but everyones situation is different to start with.My time horizons have shortened somewhat  because of age .Government interference in markets throws everything into chaos because they try to pick winners and losers so thier actions now have to be takin into account .They allow metals to run until it effects the Dollar value then they interfere,which is another reason to hedge at the top ,in my opinion.In the long run Gold will win out,if you survive it ,live long enough,and Government dosent disintegrate ! In the mean time ?

Thanks for the Feedback

This shortage may be partially nature caused but it’s not nature which is propelling Venezuela towards the stone age.

Yeah, they should of brough the swatt team and a paddy wagon and locked up the lot of them. There could of been a woman in labor, a doctor on there way somewhere whatever and there’s these idiots that couldn’t even justify what they were doing. Attention seekers and brain dead at that.

Equise, Thanks for the Hamilton report

Posted by silverngold @ 1:03 on March 20, 2016  

I normally don’t read Adam because he is pretty long winded, but on your recommendation I did read this one, and I found his thinking very similar to my own…….. only he is good at presenting his thoughts and I am not. I was quite surprised to find that he has an identical HUI target of 1000  that I have had now for several years. I just did not anticipate having to go to 100 to get to that 1000, but IMO it is in the bag within, as I said, about 2.5 years.  All the Best to You Equise…….Silverngold

In my opinion, one can get a better appreciation of the importance of the 0:41, 19 March posting by Silverngold if

goldielocks – They arrested 3.

Posted by commish @ 20:06 on March 19, 2016  

Sheriff Joe Arpaio at a later rally in Tucson mentioned that 3 of the protesters were arrested.  They used chains to secure themselves to their cars to block the roadway. The rest of the protesters scattered once those 3 were cuffed up and the road was once again passable.

Arizona blocks traffic endangering people’s lives to block Trump

Posted by goldielocks @ 13:24 on March 19, 2016  

They seem to be taking their time removing the cars and arresting them.

The establishment with their propaganda are using citizens to act like Kent State military to stop Trumps first amendment rights.not to mention the citizens tired of corrupt beaurcratic unionized system and brokered elections. Now using these creeps to impose their will on others. This is a bipartisan big government Attack. The GOP is finished so moving away from Tump just helps voters move to him. They will throw this election to Hillary in their arrogance.

Good luck Rich!
