It's got to be an act, right? It simply has to be. Nobody can be THAT ignorant about that many subjects, right?Anyhoo ... It's the Investing Thread, folks. I hope it's been a fruitful year for everyone!
It was. Life is good.
I am into long term investing. Haven’t looked at any of my portfolios in 6 months. Guess i will do that on Christmas morning and see what has happened . Had lunch about a month ago with one of the largest bank CEOs ( one of top two) . He told a small group of us that he was lobbying hard with the Fed for a soft landing . Seems like he is successful. We are seeing heavy handed regulation all through our industry . My peers are reluctant to make capital commitments unless a project is absolutely necessary. Also , while Oil is pumping , it is hard to obtain new drilling permits. Gas prices are down as they always are this time of year. When summer driving season kicks in they will be back up. Election in 2024 will have a lot of consequences .
So many unused leases as big oil is not inclined to drill as they don't think there is a long range future for petroleum. Stupid market forces. I am of the opinion that, due to the charging grid not being ready to handle full electrification, the transition to electric cars will be slower than expected. Not enough chargers. My bottom line prediction is that big oil will start cautiously drilling on the most promising sites in the next couple of years, as they decide there is still money to be made.

Does he also post 70 links a day to a college basketball message board?
lol. What?
And in a few months those Ivermectin studies will be coming out, too.
you do understand that once a regulation is implemented, you will not feel it's affect tomorrow, yes? that's all
I realize a lot of people have their internet personas. But is any of them less believable that Herman?
MUFINY tore himself away from posting NY Post links long enough to allow Brian Moynihan (or maybe Jamie Dimon) to have lunch with him. Turns out the Fed was planning on a hard landing for the economy until Moynihan (or Dimon) lobbied for a soft landing, upon which the Fed said, "Oh, OK, I guess we'll try for a soft landing."After lunch, MUFINY went back to tracking the hourly movements of the Hausers and Aaron Rodgers.
I had lunch with an interior decorator this week. She and her sister companies are inundated with work redesigning offices in the Midwest. Corporate spend on non-necessities is up.According to my bud that runs a global 3PL firm there are still plenty of soft spots where companies haven't recovered from the recession, but other industries are growing so rapidly that the 3PL firm is having to unexpectedly shift resources around.Good news, anecdotally.
