    January Inflation

    Actually, I looked it up after the fact, and my suspicion is correct. You can look it up, if you are interested enough. There are quite a few states with higher oil consumption per capital, compared to Canada. The states that bring down the average are states, similar to New York, states, with...

    January Inflation

    It stands to reason that a country with great geographical distances, with a sparse population, and a colder climate, would use more oil, than a more densely populated, warmer country. I suspect that Montana's oil usage per capita is higher than Canada's per capita consumption.

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    They're working their way up to the sort of fun Twin Cities law enforcement has had on the job.

    January Inflation

    Speaking to the oil refining, the refinery that I retired from was designed to handle heavy sour crude. This was the type of crude most available, when the refineries in the northern US were first brought on stream. There are advantages to running heavy sour crude. That type of crude is less...

    January Inflation

    I did just check to see my retirement accounts. More winning, maybe enough, for now. What an own goal, we have not shot ourselves in the foot, we have shot both of them.

    January Inflation

    To be fair to Trump, he did say that at some point, we would get tired of winning. It's just one more promise made, and promise kept. I have not looked at my retirement accounts today, to see whether I'm growing more tired of winning. Today was leg day at the gym, so I'll have to divvy up the...

    NR Upland Seasons (LC3901)

    I have had a horseback field trial habit, going on for over twenty years now. In all of that time, no dog of mine has caught a young bird. I am sure it has happened, somewhere, at sometime. It is a training setback, whenever a dog does manage to catch a bird. It gives the dog the idea that...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I don't want to be glued to the market, all day, all the time. I do try to pay attention as to what's been going on. I look at your first approach as a sunk cost trap. I've been guilty of it. I held a position in Nutrien for a long time. I was under water with it for most of the time I held it...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Which is why I am very much a buy and hold sort of investor. I have made a few moves that made me some decent returns. Some years ago, Target reported disappointing earnings and dropped 17% that day. I bought a 1000 shares the next morning. Three years later, I sold them at triple the purchase...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I guess you could call it a flat day. I'd call it a reflection of the steady leadership and messaging from the WH.

    Verify that you hunt

    That was a long time ago.

    Verify that you hunt

    My outdoor journey has several chapters. The first was waterfowl hunting in North Dakota, while in high school and college. The impetus to move to Montana, was for the chance to hunt big game. The first ten years or so, I did that with vigor and also fly fished for trout. Somewhere, along the...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    The market is jumping around today, like a fart in a frying pan. What are the chances that the orange one is sharing his announcements in advance, so that they can make some hay. Nah, he wouldn't do that, he's far too honest.

    Verify that you hunt

    It is obvious I'm longer in the tooth than most of you.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    It did not fly the first time you posted it, and doesn't fly now. Of course the market was going to hit a rough patch sometime, for something. This one is on TRUMP. He alone has knocked the apple cart over. The opposite of TDS is an addiction to Kool-aid.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Nice try. This is an own goal, no matter how you slice it. Trump willfully created the bad news, you claim is making things healthier. Since we are talking health, this is just the start of making the market "healthy". The inflation and job losses are a month or three away.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    My apologies for editing your post. It is also an attempt to assert some sort of market savvy.

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I agree with much of what you post. We did blissfully allow a large share of manufacturing jobs go offshore, with our governmental policies. There is no doubt that the middle class has been hollowed out. What is unknown is if we could have held on to most of them, with different policies...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    We'll find out in due time, I guess. In the meantime, I am enjoying the cat fight between Musk and Navarro. It isn't really a fair fight, since Musk has a huge platform. Earlier, Musk posted that Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks. I am not always simpatico with Musk...here, we kinda agree.

    the hook that drug me to Alaska

    Thanks for taking us along on a grand adventure. I often dreamt of moving to Alaska, when I was a young man. That, I have never even visited yet, is an unfilled bucket item. Our move to Montana, 44 years ago, largely quenched the dream of living there. I wish you good luck on your new chapter...
