Not entirely, the vast most of the industry doesn't compare to be sure, but there has been some interesting options showing up in recent years. Cruse wine is making sparkling more in the style of independent growers in Champagne, as well as Rhys which is doing both big producer house blends as...
With anything fuel related in California you have to wonder about what types of phuckery from Sacramento could be in play.

I've bought a of fair bit of Champagne this year, there's been some good producer direct shipments of past vintages that I jumped on simply for scarcity and provenance. With the tarriff announcement/threat a couple of weeks ago, I got lucky. It'll be interesting to see what this does to the...
Some of our suppliers (medical) have warned about potential higher costs, but of the products we get that are manufactured outside the country and relatively inexpensive to begin with so I'm not seeing it have a material effect, but still remaining cautious about potential blindspots. It's not...

That 465M ATVM load revitalized the NUMMI plant Toyota GM shuttered in early 2010. Workers got back to work and the loan was paid in 3 years benefiting taxpayers.
Ford got almost $6 billion and it was repaid in 2022.
Alcohol is a fascinating space right now. Broader talks of lower consumption by younger generations, wine overall is down and with spirits there's been a massive shift towards artisan producers (beer too).
But with small batch production, distribution is a huge challenge based on previous...
I thought your link was going to be about the significant about vacancy rates for real estate from a study a few years ago.
Floridian cities have some of the highest vacancy rates. Cities in Florida make up one third of the top 25 spots, including Pompano Beach (21.7%), Fort Lauderdale (21.4%)...
Absolutely, I've calculated many times how much money I would have if I instead bought Apple at $.17/share instead of spending $399 on my first iPod. I've also cursed myself manytimes since 2010 that didn't start buying Nvidia on the regular when I was free of Independence issues because they...
Dumped the last of my direct holdings in Tesla, yesterday.
I bought in 2022/2023, sold a portion in 2024 for a 30% gain, bought PLTR currently sitting at 274% gain, with 43 days to go for LTCG.
Yesterday I sold the rest of the lot for a 96% gain, and split the proceed between Verizon and FIBK...
