HaHa! , OK got it.

How have you positioned yourself by now, SD [ @SharperDingaan ]? -Btw, the way I overall understand Canadian economy, superficially only by now, isen't it good for the Canadian economy?

HaHa! - Somehow I knew this would get entertaining, when I realized there is only one @Lotsofcoke, and not a gangsta!

@backtothebeach, My primary sources on such stuff like this are Reuters and AP News. Western MSM are severely biased, and a lot of stuff is copied from domain to domain, without any fact checking and skeptisism. I actually donate to AP News every year to keep them going. I do use a lot of other sources too, but try to dive in a find the primary source, if it's important. High velocity stuff like wars is a challenge for us all.

Direction of the plane? [Yeah, it can turn, do u-turns, whatever ..., - anyway]

Elon in Friday mood, also :

Congrats, @frommi !

Now that's really mean! -and then on a Friday and at Equinox!

I get drepressed and frustrated from reading this topic today. - Hey, it's spring equinox today in the Northern Hemosphere!, it's Friday!, and, and, and ... Life is great! <John, reporting from the dog house >

Charlie [ @dealraker ], Duly noted.

HaHa! In a relationship with another human being, there are always ups and downs. I have been in the dog house a bit lately, trying to work on it, to make it up. I screwed up dearly at Valentines day. I never stray from her, ever! I've taught her never to drag our disagreements into the bedroom. It's a demilitarizied zone! No discussion there! Never let the sun go down on your wrath! Only good times and rest, sleep in the bedroom! No matter what, I always sleep next to her at my spot in the bed. She always know where I am, ETA home again said while leaving, if deviations from expectations, I call or text her. Her deceased only hubby ever and father to her two kids [adults today] failed her in some respects. In the early years in our relationship I could clearly feel she had challenges ever to trust a man again, so I had actively to work on gaining it, and now, it's just a habit. - - - o 0 o - - - Rough dental work can really be a downer, but it normally gets better i a few days!

Real men, cut out of a piece of genuine hardwood, don't sleep on the sofa, just because wifey behaves like a solar eclipse, no light on in the bedroom at night anyway, most of the time.

Yes, But it's a stable, non-moving, large - target!, also. Hard to defend.

Jorge simply need to work harder, much harder, but same salary! Please tell him that! Now please provide a photo of his face, when you've just told him that!

I still remember the first oil crisis, quite clearly. It's basically the same happening now, just in a much more violent version. Sheik Yamani back then simply just ordered some oil valves shut, to teach the Western World a lesson. We had 'car free sundays', one could play on the high way if inclined, and in Danish classes in elementary school we were asked to write essays about 'how to demonstrate societal attitude', taking cold baths, letting the car stand every day, taking the bicycle to work instead every day to work, and all such stuff, so there were enough oil to keep Danish industrial companies running.

@Spooky, The only difference to our usual modus operandi is you added '... the end of ...'. - Just a minor opportunistic adjustment, not to think too much and deeper about.

@Hektor, I really admire your stamina, perseverance and endurance. It's a huge task. I still remember how many kJoules and teeth it pulled, because you also have to relate to the actual investment environment back then when posted, not when you read it, so a lot to understand and relate to, lots of other stuff to look up along the way, in stead of 'just reading' in a constant flow. I.e. BAC back then at 6 post GFC is certainly not the same as BAC at 48.50, add to that BAC has materially changed, developed! - and so on, with everything! Please carry on, but please also think about to be ready to draw a line, when enough is enough. The marginal gain from continuing reading over time is in my opinion dwindling over time, but that may just be me.

I don't think you will succeed in your endavour! - - - o 0 o - - - -CofB&F is expanding the same way as the universe! Faster and faster for every moment! You will likely never get to the last topic! - - - o 0 o - - - In a few few years, the idea to form a SPAC here on CofB&F will enventually crystalize, it's name will be CofB&F Gaia Online Holding Inc., then we pool our capital and in a corporate raid, we will succeed in a hostile take-over, getting control over Gaia Online! . We will use 38 layers of capital in the capital stack, including lots of private credit provided by Marc Rowan, Bruce Flatt and Howard Marks, the debt will placed in an intermidiate holding company under the SPAC with no recourse to the SPAC, so we can screw that, too! Likely POTUS will become aware of what we're up to, and try to intervene. Then we'll call Mark Rowan, Bruce Flatt and Howard Marks again!, saying : 'We need access to more money!' They will ask : 'For what!'. We will reply : 'We need them to bribe POTUS to leave us alone!'. The payment will be booked as intangible with no depreciation, naturally! Next we'll milk, starve out the shareholders holding the shares we dont control in Gaia Online, taking them under with all the dirty Brookfield tricks,- options to us and such -, that we know of, squeezing them out! After taking Gaia Online, we go for World Domination! YouTube : Leonard Cohen - First We Take Manhattan (Official Video) You heard it here first. I really think it's a great plan! Gaia Online board statistics, right now, it's a phpBB board modded the the crap out of, beyond recognition!

@Hektor, The first three years or so I was a CofB&F member, I did spend them on reading the board - so to say - in 'another dimension', from the oldest topic to the then newest one, everyone of them, reading everything! All while I was working on getting my own snowball rolling. About half of that time span I was also working my butt off in a paid job [with a huge bonus for delivering!], that required much more than normal working hours. I simply had too few hours available in a night and day, the solution was to cut back on sleep! There is a reason I call CofB&F 'my classroom'! It's callled 'Do what it takes!' - Absolutely hell bent! -I inially had an enourmous handicap, by being a nitpicking Danish CPA, not focusing on what matters for the future. It took quite some time to shake, peel that off me.

Awesome with some good humor, all while our portfolios are on their way, headed, to zero, into armageddon!

For those CofB&F members, who may not know. -Enjoy!

HaHa! , Thank you for the reply!

@Lotsofcoke are you that @ lotsofcoke, that I have 'heard' [read] Sanjeev [ @Parsad ] telling funny stories about now many years ago? -Your posting style could indicate it! - - - o 0 o - - - No edit here! I was cursing Cloudflare for ruining my posting again using '@' feature, untill I found out that I had typed 'lotsofcake'.

This topic is so funny today! -More dirt, please!

HaHa! [<- Ray-Ban's for the beach to Greg [ @Gregmal ]!]
