I’d like to correct some inaccuracies in the July 26 edition entitled  JFK Invented It, Harris and Datascension Are Perfecting It.

As many faithful have pointed out, I mistakenly claimed the 1960 Presidential election was “won handily” by JFK. I made the mistake of working from memory, which has failed me. Perhaps the eventual popularity of JFK skewed my thinking. 

I have done the research, and now wish to publish the correction. The 1960 Presidential election was one of the most closely contested.  Only 118,574 popular votes separated Kennedy from Nixon. The popular vote was 34,226,731 to 34,108,157. The electoral college was not as close: 307 to 219. 

Despite my lax research, this reinforces the importance of polling and surveys. One could easily argue that Kennedy’s adoption of polling technologies gave him the edge that yielded the Presidency.

On the plus side, DSEN has enjoyed a nice little pop today on the news, albeit on anemic volume. The stock, which had traded below the $.30 mark is now back in the $.37 range.

Based on my long history of involvement in the microcap world, I believe this stock would be trading much higher volume and to much higher levels had this news come in September or October. The smart money participates when no one is watching and no one cares.
