    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Well that's an interesting negotiating strategy. Do exactly what your opponent wants. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-us-blockade-hormuz-131017333.html

    Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics

    Good article that sprinkles in some of the problems facing the timber industry that highlights how making an impact on the ground will be hard. https://www.vox.com/climate/484972/trump-logging-forests-timber

    Sen Mike Lee as AG?

    ...Summer, Lee's public land amendment was locking up the OBBB. There was a conversation between the two, after which Lee pulled the amendment. Trump is transactional and Lee is transactional (and smart) so I just assumed there was some promise on something. Sure, promises mean very little, so I...

    Sen Mike Lee as AG?

    Everyone is a nobody to Trump eventually. But if enough people can often get in his ear and convince him of doing stuff, anything is possible. Makes me wonder about what Mike Lee thinks his future is? 15yrs as a congressman. The AG job involves a lot of public scrutiny- press, Congress, etc-...

    Burgum headed for Secretary of Interior

    ...revisit these threads and see if people still have the same reactions. Does anyone else ponder why the Sec of Interior is making trips to Venezuela to promote their oil...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Same as usual. Debt and the amount of it is not a left/right issue. We all agree the path is not sustainable, but no one wants to tell Americans the truth, which is we have to pay for it. It becomes one when the election rolls around. My Rep was all about attacking "reckless Dem spending" and...

    And I will add that Trump is still using the equity index prices as a proxy for his greatness. So that helps…

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    Sorry. Bored. Yeah, I think is a top 5 dumbest threads on HT. Might have a subconscious goal of killing it, but I will step away to respect your wishes.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    ...of the risk. Only so many tankers in the world, most are full of oil, and building new ones takes a while. Government Geico won’t matter. Trump and Xi meet later this month. He is going to tell China to just buy our oil, which they will gladly do (and why WTI is $110) if the tanker capacity...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    Doesn't matter if traffic stops because of the threat of getting sunk or it can't get insurance because the of the threat of getting sunk. It has mostly stopped. US Insurance isn't going to fix the problem. Few shipping cos are going to send a crew into the Straight. I also heard the US navy was...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    ...news that this article is pointless. He said it the weekend of the strikes. I watched him say it and was shocked he would admit to it. But he’s Trump and there’s a microphone and he can’t stop himself...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    Whoever Trump wanted in charge. I assume they're a little more friendly to the West. Maybe that is big assumption?

    US and Israel attack Iran

    Yes. If someone still thinks that today, it tells me something. They are preferring a known terrible outcome (or ignoring such) to a complete unknown (probably by making up a really bad scenario to justify their decision).

    US and Israel attack Iran

    That was the craziest thing I have watched in 6 months. And I watch Trump do news conferences.

    US and Israel attack Iran

    ...Kind of makes some of the comments on this thread from guys that were old enough to know about that a little humorous. Edit: Oh, and my rule is - if it is an official statement, just assume it is a lie. If it is Trump answering a question in real time, he is probably saying more than he should.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Even Miran is changing his view. This stuff is hard to measure but when the one guy who was sure inflation was under control changes his view, it is hard to ignore. https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/2026021910137/feds-miran-now-sees-a-less-accommodative-rate-path

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    Just a difficult thing to even compare. In 2018 prices were $3 to $3.30. Today they are about $3.25. It's a well supplied market. The most recent spike was a quirk in the severity of the cold snap, the fact that the spot contract was rolling off at the same time, and everyone was under hedged...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    The WSJ is very Hoover-Insititutish, so it tracks. A good number of the Op-eds come from Hoover people. I note that the WSJ also supported the appointment of Powell in 2017 as a pragmatic choice that had more real-world business experience and less reliant on economic model-driven theories. This...

    ...that found their spine after announcing they were not running again. Anyway, then Warsh would get Miran's position and get elevated to Head in May. Then Trump would need to name two to replace Miran and Powell (if he chooses to leave the Fed entirely, which he probably will) positions in May.
