The next step after 3 TMP pipes are up and running in the same corridor, will be to remove/replace the original old line and replace with a new 1 million barrel line. Ongoing capital payback from recent/coming additions financing the upgrade (primarily capital roll-over vs new financing), that also removes the environmental risk from old pipe. Ultimately, congestion will fuel the need for underwater pipe feeding offshore Vancouver Island loading, but not for a decade or so yet. Times change; demonstrate responsible wins elsewhere, reduce the environmental risks from collisions, and it becomes much less contentious. All good. SD

Less of the scholarship thing, as there just aren't the scholarships, and its not part of the culture. Hence the next step calls for improved soccer development infrastructure ... and only small grants to help with travel and living costs while you continue to train/develop. The bigger concern is the coach abuse and corruption within the sports organisations managing this very one-sided power arrangement. Changing now as the women's games are emerging, and they aren't putting up with it. Good on them. SD

Ha I mean the only thing really permeating of late is wondering why every single numb nut Fed official and politician wants to talk about the horrors of inflation because of oil(war...DUH!), or heck BBQ prices(meat derivative)...but we all dance along oblivious as to why memory prices are A-OK having gone up 10x as 3-4 main guys sport 80% margins....is Liz the Indian still hammering home how unacceptable BX's 40% NOI margin is on rentals, or about big builders still having 20% margins financed by double digit construction loans? The more things go on, the more it seems the masses are just totally losing track of the things that are relevant to whats happening.

Speaking only for myself, I think separation and an oil pipeline to central Canada are both stupid. The shortest path to tidewater is to the BC coast. If they build another million barrel line there I'll be thrilled. Even the transmountain new pump stations to increase capacity there is very helpful. Dredging for the container port and deeper draft tankers also makes a big difference.

@rogermunibond I asked it to make a project tracker in google sheets and keep track of projects and status and inputs required and create a scheduled task to review each morning if any changes or new projects need to be added. Does require me to review regularly but helps me keep the rolling project list. I also, have several other scheduled things. It summarizes each weeks worth of emails each weeks and sends me a summary email of the past week with any open things i haven't responded to. I have terrible inbox management. As well as a few other scheduled tasks related to projects i am working on where it updates the spreadsheets and or documents and sends me reminder emails to go review them and provide inputs.

I'll put a marker down and say he can't do it for reasons I've laid out before. But beyond on that, I'm not sure why this should even be an objective for the Fed. There's no upside and only downside since too many reserves isn't a problem, but even a tiny bit too few reserves and things immediately go haywire in the Fedwire payments system and the short-term interest rate the Fed is trying to control. Meanwhile as the US (and global economy) grow(s), the demand for central bank liabilities grows organically so the objective has an ever so slight headwind. Bill

That's just it; I didn't complain non-stop about those with whom I had disagreements (i.e., Biden), and I readily acknowledge disagreements even with those I support (i.e., Trump). Last I checked, COBF didn't exist when Clinton was President(?) but there was a lot there to like in those days. Too bad he would be a pariah among today's democrats.

Nothing I post should be taken as seriously as the typed words suggest. If or when you meet me in person you'll find that I'm conversational, that's in print and speech. I mostly enjoy interacting with those on the other sides of issues than me, there's nothing more of a let down than hanging out with like minded's...it puts me to sleep. The only things that bother me are the intense extremes, which tend to be over-displayed of course by our news sources. But they sell ads and selling is what most news today is about.

LOL, when you do return with a political post? It will be one to remember Greg!

When you start posting that Bill Clinton was responsible for both the late 1990's market and the budget surplus then I'll better understand where you are coming from.

Man I havent even really been posting here that much, not deliberately, just cuz things are quite boring politically of late, and outside having to briefly come back to curb stomp some turd covered gnat(whom detests my political commentary yet then begs for it when Im no longer giving it) and still, the sirens songs of COBF keep trying to pull me back in!

Haha yea I know I'm just so scared of punishing short squeezes man, hoo boy they're bad

I'm sorry to see how this not well thought out comment of mine, with no real value, has triggered this exchange, despite both gents Charlie [ @dealraker ] and @73 Reds are handling it well. A token of the basic and severe division inside the American society, I speculate. - - - o 0 o - - - I think it's about 1½ years ago, I did put on a 'personal silencer' in this topic on myself related to domestic US politics [not US foreign politics] and US general conditions, but it unfortunately still happens regularly, that a quip unintentionally escapes between my rips.

Is there any practical benefit to owning the 2024 copy, besides the novelty of having a physical book? Unlike a discontinued publication like Walker’s Manual, this handbook is still actively updated. Having a 2024 edition is like holding onto a Value Line investment survey from two years ago, most of the data is completely stale. Even in my limited experience looking at more recent handbooks, the companies currently surging are highly specific to today's market, like pachinko parlors or export businesses capitalizing on the weak yen.

What are people's expectations of the Warsh Fed? If he wants Fed reserves to be at a much lower level, doesn't this naturally imply that he wants some form of interbank lending to take over the provision of liquidity? And given the size of the liquidity need that's not even possible now.

LOL I was being sarcastic. These chip stocks are one of the easiest shorts Ive ever seen here

We all share opinions. Ours differ by miles. The way I see it, one of us is here on this thread complaining to no end while the other is an optimist about pretty much everything. If that is intellectually dishonest, consider me guilty as charged.

Come on all you guys on this board talk all them financial figures on top of all this technical mumbo jumbo and I stay silent because I'm too fucking dumb to understand I shorted last month at 1231.87 and covered in the 1160s for 70 points and yesterday I shorted at 1000 and covered this morning at 919.23 for 80 - I call that good eating baby, all without having to sit through the terrible short squeezes like I had to endure with EWY this year Oh look, it's really selling off now and I covered too early - the story of my life, just another episode in the longest running comedy I'll ever see...

For sure in the US, not sure how Canada does it vs. GTHL hockey. 16 years ago, but it still applies.....

@dealraker +1

Ice Hockey is great, but it's a rich persons sport and you only see the best players of that available. If mom/dad weren't rich enough to constantly get you the equipment as you grew through it, the extra coaching, to/from the practice and away games, etc, etc .... you never got to the farm/pro levels. The best of a small and rich population. Soccer isn't much different, but it's cheap enough to play that even the very poor can play it. Scouts have a bigger pool to draw upon .... if they can get past the bias. That next Ronaldo could well be that kid from a refugee camp, or a war-torn area ... but if the scout never looks. The best of a much bigger population. The more people that can relate, the bigger the market, the more corruption, and the higher the eventual ticket price. But even an interfering president can't overturn a 4:1 loss; the US was just sh1te SD

@Longnose how do you keep track of all the tasks and assignments that Spark is working on?

Reds...my view and yes 100% my filter and it may be completely inaccurate: When I read your posts over the years I read "this poster is consistently intellectually dishonest." There's nothing wrong with going full bonkers far right with Gregmal, it isn't something I enjoy reading but it is a guy being honest with himself and others. Again, my bias and filter, but it is what it is. I give Trump no credit for the market or economy. Generally he significantly harms the entities he's involved with AS IT/THEY relate to others involved - while making good for himself. For the US? Yes, I think he does the same.

@chenisheng I didn't get the full tour. I just talked to one of their analysts. They have this really cool Nike Shoe Dog art work in the lobby.

Bro, its still at 7.75x generational cycle peak EPS if you extrapolate the most recent Q....
