GROK @ work
If you aren't on GROK you should be. Every single one of you.
Laurel Kenner does a great job in this article.
Check out her great writing.
HUNTING FOR DEAD AMERICANS
Imagine the number of people involved in the fraud and corruption.
The scummy bankers, attorneys, accountants, and an endless myriad of families.
Long live DOGE and Elon Musk!

Joe Kernen, CNBC
Dear Joe,
If you are ever in the golf capital of Tennessee, we have the course of your choice covered! You are like fine wine! The longer you remain on CNBC and batter these liberal nutjobs like you did today to Jeff Sonnenfeld, the more viewers will watch you!
What a complete take-down of Yale's finest liberal wacko!
You, Leon Cooperman, Ray Dalio, and a few others are the only people we turn the volume on when we watch CNBC in the Parisian Family Office.
Your career has wed common sense, great politics, a stiff attitude, intelligent discourse, and tremendous humor for decades.
When you quit, I quit. Keep hammering the lunatics!
With best wishes to the Kernen crew,
Dean Parisian

The Stock Market
Amazed how many calls have lit up my phone over a few days of selling.
Would you please relax? You haven't seen anything yet. When you have so much fear you can't even pick up the phone to call me, you will want to start working on your "buy" list.
We have some minor pullback action, entirely warranted, overdue, and much anticipated. Stock prices don't go to the moon boys and girls. There are metrics in valuation that you might heed but are worthless in an onslaught of selling pressure.
Please watch and listen to this YOUTUBE video to familiarize yourself with real fear and stocks getting puked out of portfolios with heavy leverage. I am scared of the carry trade crowd, not the school teacher in Mandaree, Crow Agency, or Pickstown.
FEAR in the Stock Market, LIVE!
I did purchase one name a couple days ago.
I bought 10,000 shares of Cleveland-Cliffs, CLF, at $8.625. Wish me luck.
I have no idea on the stock market, I know I own some good management teams, with good growth prospects, with good industry fundamentals. Greed and fear haven't gone out of style for about 10,000 years and shares don't know I own them and wouldnt' behave any differently if they did.
I like where President Trump is going. I am investing in that direction.
I get fleeced every day when I trade just as you do. Expect it and live with it.
Educate yourself, your commissions are not "FREE".

Gutless wonders at the SEC and FINRA
FINRA is the fox guarding the hen house. You see, the hen house has the hens that lay the golden eggs. The NYSE was toast after (it's anniversary today), March 7, 2006 of no longer being owned by seat holders. Today, it's been 19 years since the club sold out to other exchanges, dark pools, and HFT firms!
For over a decade I sat as a public arbitrator in proceedings between aggrieved parties, brokers, brokerage firms, and client/customers until the day all of the arbs in the NYSE and FINRA pools who were unbiased, fiduciary members/owners/employees of investment management firms were tossed out of the arb pools! It was shocking to hear but expected.
When the fox is guarding the hen house and the game warden can't protect the hens from honesty and truth, the house will do what they must to keep feeding the fox.
Here is more nonsense from regulators taking a few steps backward!
Joe Saluzzi is and has been at the forefront of market manipulation by HFT. Read his Substack here:
Tell me again why you wouldn't want the information to catch bad guys.
It's lonely at the top..........
Most days I get tired of winning. It's lonely at the top. Trying to share over 40 years of market experience with people who spend more time reading a newspaper than studying price action is futile. Nobody wants to do the work. Nobody wants to adopt an investment strategy. Nobody believes the purpose of markets is to take from the weak and give to the strong. Nobody wants to believe down markets are always TEMPORARY and the ups are always PERMANENT.
We have had a tremendous week at the Parisian crib.
We booked our largest gain on a private investment position (a multi-year long) in history!
Beat the State of Tennessee Department of Revenue at their own game.
We've had excellent workouts!
Had some delicious meals.
Started two rock tumblers with some beautiful petrified wood and agates.
Picked up some great reading material.
Scored the bull elk over the fireplace. (Boone & Crockett GROSS score of 354)
Made a 6 figure donation to what we think is the finest charity in the world.
Planned some outings with friends in Mexico.
Taxes are near completion.
Celebrated our wedding anniversary!
That's just to name a few! Yet the hoodlum critters in D.C. can't come up with 5 things they did in their jobs over 5 days? GMAFB...........
Oh, one more! Watched the greatest President of my lifetime deliver some stunning blows to the Democrat clowns in Congress and the Senate!
NOBODY CARES, WORK HARDER!

A.G. Pam Bondi on March 1, 2025
Democratic Filth in Crossville, TN
The Democrat crazies were out in force today. The liberals decided to make a few placards and join forces in front of the Cumberland County Court House today to let the populace know they can spell.
To be a Democrat, you literally have to care more about power, position, and personal enrichment than you do about our country and her people. No sane person would think destroying America's sovereignty with open borders was good, or that rampant crime and drugs pouring in and killing Americans was fine - or that almost bankrupting our country for wealth and permanent power was acceptable or that chopping off genitals of adolescents was decent. Democrats argue in favor of keeping fraud and waste of taxpayers' money. The party of boys competing against girls. The party of teaching preschoolers to be "trans" in school. The party of voter fraud and cheating at the ballot box. The party of Epstein and Diddy. The party who wanted 87,000 more IRS agents.Friday, February 28, 2025
Attorney General Pam Bondi and TRUST
So this was nothing more than a photo-op? Pam Bondi is now claiming the FBI is hiding files from her. Where I come from, this has just turned into one big clusterfuck of disinformation to throw off the American people.
If it was mostly just information that is already public, why on Earth waste the time and money to put it in fancy binders? What happened to Pam Bondi's interview where she said it was "sick" and that we'd be "shocked?" Only 250 victims of sex trafficking and the rape of minors and we get PHASE 1?
What we saw was a bunch of opportunistic “influencers” laughing about the contents of a binder that was supposed to expose child rapists. We are neither amused at their humor nor impressed by the evidence that materialized yesterday.
So Bondi only found out that "the FBI is still withholding documentation" after the public release from an FBI whistleblower? And not until AFTER she handed out the big, white, official-looking red herring loose-leaf binders calling it PHASE 1?

SAFARI, 2025
Come along for a couple of weeks on the African continent in the beautiful country of Tanzania. It was a great ride, and I would rank it a top-five adventure for the Parisian Family. Yes, it's good to go, but it's great to be home in the United States of America. With over 8 billion humans on the planet and over 345,000,000 now in America, you have about a 1 in 24 shot just at being an American! Imagine how lucky you are. You have opportunity, freedom, education, free speech, freedom of religion, a diverse geography, great healthcare, and world-class infrastructure. It is endless. There are big rewards for ambition, freedom, and innovation in America.
You can do whatever you want in America. The Creator has blessed you for being an American.
Nine time zones separate the Nashville, Tennessee airport from the airport in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. If you don't know jet lag it is tough on the body. The older I get the more impact it seems to have. We left Nashville, changed planes in Atlanta, boarded a Delta flight in a Boeing 787 to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, and again, changed aircraft, boarding a KLM (Dutch carrier) 787 flight for another 8-hour flight to Kilimanjaro. It made for a long 24 hours! I was very impressed with the service and the great food on the KLM leg.
My first job out of college was working for one of Curt Carlson's many companies in Minneapolis, Performance Incentive Corporation as a trip director helping companies send their top people to exotic places as a reward for being big hitters in their respective companies. It was a job I will never forget. To interview, I had bought a new suit but didn't get a great haircut as I had been trapping beaver most of the spring, so when I walked in with my resume the lady at the front desk was rather inattentive and asked me why I thought I should get an interview when the massive bookcase behind her was full of resumes just like mine. I replied very off-the-cuff that I was the guy they were looking for. I am forever grateful to Patti Schullo for arranging an interview with the President, Dennis Callister, and for giving me a shot.
All I wanted was a chance.
Those trips overseas taught me about life. Top hitters at companies were approachable, fun, had beautiful wives, and expected success. I had one major fiasco during my time there that was my fault. We had gotten into a European restaurant to have lunch much later than planned after an excursion, it was hot, and everyone was thirsty and hungry. The restaurant was understaffed and because of my outstanding collegiate training in tapping beer kegs, I got on the stick, tapped a keg, and started pouring beer to the hot and thirsty. I wasn't a pro at delivering beer off a serving tray by any means and proceeded to spill a couple of cold beers directly down the back of the President of Toyota America! His wife jumped to my defense and cooled him down while apologizing profusely for my ineptitude as a waiter. I have never waited tables again.
We landed at Kilimanjaro airport and were driven to our hotel in Arusha about an hour away. It was late in the evening and our bodies, given the 9-hour time differential were telling us to wake up and start the day! Exhausted, we hit the pillows and awoke in daylight. Opened the curtain to the morning sun and was looking at Mt. Meru, the 2nd tallest mountain in Tanzania and the 5th tallest in Africa at about 15,000 feet above sea level. Mt. Kilimanjaro is the tallest.
Tanzania is 365,794 square miles and is the 13th largest country in Africa, the 31st largest in the world. To give you a sense of comparison, the state of TEXAS is 268,596 square miles and Tanzania is roughly double the size of California! The country's population is about 70,000,000 people and is concentrated in a couple of areas. This is a staggering number to consider when 38% of the country is a National Park!
comparison.
Tanzania is one of the oldest continuously inhabited areas on Earth. Traces of fossil remains of humans and hominids date back to the Quaternary era. Here are some of the oldest footprints on the planet.
I want to give you my impression of the country. Those of you who've traveled in Tanzania may have a different view.
Impressive rigs. Not much plastic, fueled by diesel. They take a beating on the rough roads and being all metal they are built like a tank.
Looking into the Ngorongoro Crater, a massive volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife, often called Africa’s “Garden of Eden.”
