Cybill Shepard and Bruce Willis are back Moonlighting – Breaking News

Dear Fellow TV Enthusiasts.

Have you ever wanted to step into a time machine and relive the golden era of television? Well, dust off your shoulder pads and tease up that big hair because "Moonlighting" is back, and it's now streaming on Hulu! Grab your popcorn, and let's take a stroll down memory lane.

For those of you who might not have had the privilege of experiencing this gem the first time, "Moonlighting" was a TV show that aired from 1985 to 1989. It was a perfect blend of mystery, comedy, romance, and the unmistakable charm of the 1980s.

Starring the charismatic Bruce Willis as David Addison and the ever-so-lovable Cybill Shepherd as Maddie Hayes, "Moonlighting" followed the misadventures of a private detective agency, Blue Moon Investigations. The electrifying chemistry between the two leads made this show truly special. Their witty banter, on-screen tension, and undeniable chemistry set the standard for TV couples for years.

And let's not forget the iconic musical moments. The show introduced us to some memorable musical performances featuring Cybill Shepherd's incredible singing talent, with episodes dedicated to song and dance. Who could forget "Big Man on Mulberry Street" by Billy Joel, performed with dazzling choreography?

But why did the Streaming executives not jump on this great peace of TV history before? One great thing about Moonlighting is the music – it is loaded with it! The problem is that none of the music rights have been sewn up, and Disney, who owned the show, believed it would be cost-prohibitive to get them now.

Not so Hulu – they went for it and got it! Hulu got the right for most of the TV show's songs, specifically for the songs sung on-screen by Shepard, Willis, and the supporting cast.

So whether you're revisiting "Moonlighting" or diving into it for the first time, you're in for a treat. This show has something for everyone, from its sharp writing to the nods to classic Hollywood cinema and the dynamic chemistry between Willis and Shepherd.

So, kick back, hit play on your Hulu subscription, and get ready to be swept off your feet by the charm, humor, and nostalgia of "Moonlighting." It's the perfect way to relive the 80s and be reminded of why this era was truly unforgettable.

As the theme song goes, "Some walk by night, some by day, Moonlighting strangers who just met on the way." Don't miss out on this iconic TV show now streaming on Hulu. It's a nostalgic journey you won't want to miss!

Happy watching, and stay tuned for more blasts from the past!

The SEC’s Consolidated Audit Trail – a Threat to Liberty and Privacy

In a world where data privacy is paramount, an alarming development is poised to reshape the landscape for American investors. The Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT), a comprehensive surveillance system created by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in response to the 2010 "flash crash," is set to collect and store vast amounts of personal and financial data of every U.S. investor. While ostensibly aimed at monitoring market activity, this initiative raises significant concerns about the erosion of individual privacy and potential security risks.

The CAT's Unprecedented Scope

The CAT, conceived in 2012 and launched in 2020, was designed to meticulously record every order, cancellation, modification, and trade execution for exchange-listed equities and options across all U.S. markets. While its initial purpose was to enhance market oversight, the CAT has evolved into a data behemoth that gathers American investors' personally identifiable information, including name, addresses, and birth year.

Data Security Concerns

The CAT's colossal size poses a significant data security risk. A breach of this magnitude could expose investors' trading activity and personal information, opening the door to potential exploitation by malicious actors. In a world where cybersecurity threats are a daily concern, the lack of robust safeguards for such a vast database is deeply troubling.

A Threat to Financial Privacy and Civil Liberties

Beyond security concerns, the CAT's creation infringes upon financial privacy principles and civil liberties. Trading is a form of value expression, and the CAT's sweeping surveillance interferes with Americans' Fourth Amendment rights to be free from unreasonable government searches and seizures.

The Need for Alternatives

While the SEC has legitimate reasons to monitor market activities, some alternatives would protect individual privacy without compromising its law enforcement ability. Suggestions include prohibiting personal information from the CAT database and allowing the SEC to request data from brokers on a case-by-case basis when necessary. Other proposals advocate for a more limited database focused on institutional investor trading or improving existing systems.

Stay informed and vigilant as we continue to monitor this important issue. Your privacy and civil liberties matter. Investors who want to protect their data from CAT must take measures. We will gladly support you in establishing your personal trading LLC.
