Up up and away

4 years ago you got me into this one. We endured the punching bag period and very slow permit process for Florence.
I hold the core .93s from the 2020 and flipped the lower 2s twice this year.

GM Tom, Another bank

Scotiabank raises $EPD PT to 31 from 30. Banks know where to put money, even though they wish it were in your accounts with them.

Each month banks give a tiny fraction of the 7% tax free distribution, as those pennies appear rather miniscule on our statements.

At the very least TDS will wither a bit when they choose 87 at the pump.
Me thinks the least narcissistic guy in my lifetime was J Carter who could not win a second term so I must agree

Yup got me one them wives too. But she was swayed by her teacher's union friends no doubt.
50yrs this year so we agree to disagree. I feel sure she will not vote for Brandon again though, so maybe RFKjr, and I wont ask :o)
K2... you're right we all saw though that choice for VP too. Thank you BobbyJ!
On the other hot topic... How could a container ship "accidentally" drive into a bridge support? Seems crazy to be on purpose, too... And the insurance waver granted by the fake prez? Maybe he didn't use his cue card, sounds just like something he would say. He is a complete blundering idiot, alway has been.
Love it if they call NJ for Trump before the polls close out here in fly over.

Barclay's is a bigger name player than Truist, with the latest upgrade which you probably noticed.
Barclays upgraded our steady $EPD to $31. I moved the long term sells higher after selling 8% which were short term. None left to take off the table.
I started a position in MPLX to compliment my energy long term passive income with MLP's strategy.
Bought the dip...

Because ECTM is OTC there is a lack of news flow and few know the generous dividend coming in three days. .03. 29.26% annualized
I am talking to myself here.
Bank to be made on ECTM now they have built up the cash to increase acreage in The best Natural Gas play in the eastern USA.

Time for someone to tell Robinhood?

The trust paused last 2 Qs to add cash for more acreage.
...O dividend, the .006, and in spite of low prices and current admin negative on natural gas,
Truth is different on Natty Gas than the narrative. It runs the world cleanly.

Few news services and brokerages are yet talking the return of ECTM to healthy dividends. Volume will tell the story.

Thanks for letting me know. Good luck to you as well. I have flipped short term shares that were up more than the generous dividend and plan to get them back. The long term core is 2/3 of the position, untouched for years. The rest I treat like the 1500 institutions that are invested in EPD. They move the money in and out to increase the earnings and cover their fees they charge clients to invest their money. Today is the last day to earn the .515 distribution because of the + 2 day settlement.

Enterprise Products Company, formed in 1968 by Dan Duncan and two partners as a wholesale marketer of natural gas liquids.
It became the current Master Limited Partnership (MLP) in 1998. It could be you knew it back in the 80's as the name you said. Those shares would not be the same now. I have held it all the way back to my father's time last century.
Hope this helps.

From The Bee:

U.S. — In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that it's now illegal for the Texas National Guard to guard Texas or the nation.

"Using the National Guard to guard the nation is an egregious misuse of the National Guard," wrote Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who sided with the majority. "When the federal government has decreed that the nation not be guarded so that millions of illegal immigrants will swarm the border and settle in cities across the nation to swing the 2024 presidential election for Biden, states have no right to disobey that decree by guarding their states."

As a result of the ruling, Texas is being ordered to open its border completely and let millions of people flood the state and the rest of the country until everything Americans hold dear is left a smoldering ruin. "It's the compassionate thing to do," said Jackson.

At publishing time, the government had asked the National Guard to return to its normal task of fighting endless foreign wars.

I added to a long strong position on the early session floor with RSI under 20. As usual "sell the news" followed the declaration. 3% increase works for me!
Owned EPD for over 20 years. It is better than a bank. Pays you way more to park money, but I also trade the swings. Core is about 70% of current count.
GLTA!

Florence

Many of us have been waiting for two years for the recently approved permit, which saw a short spike to $1.60 here.
No mention?

Harmony, Aley and Prosperity may be part of TGB's future.

Florence is their Focus now. It is NOT open pit and IS going to be the game changer for TGB,

Rep. Mike Johnson
@RepMikeJohnson
It is the honor of a lifetime to have been elected the 56th Speaker of the House.

Thank you to my colleagues, friends, staff, and family for the unmatched support throughout this process.

It has been an arduous few weeks, and a reminder that the House is as complicated and diverse as the people we represent. The urgency of this moment demands bold, decisive action to restore trust, advance our legislative priorities, and demonstrate good governance. Our House Republican Conference is united, and eager to work.

As Speaker, I will ensure the House delivers results and inspires change for the American people. We will restore trust in this body. We will advance a comprehensive conservative policy agenda, combat the harmful policies of the Biden Administration, and support our allies abroad. And we will restore sanity to a government desperately in need of it. Let’s get back to work.

The live feed did not show Johnson so it must not have been live

Good Luck and Congrats to Mike Johnson. Now get rid of OBiden! My stocks demand it!

He will definitely get more of the Quebec vote and French speakers in general.

Trudeau got in on the French name only by a hair, and his father's shirttails. Good news for Canadians they have their answer for the French... COMMON SENSE.

I am in Canada at the moment. The whole world is waking up to the Soros agenda and rejecting it in large numbers. The sooner the better.

Closing up the summer cabin.... Thanks for the Birthday notes folks.

Keep up the good fight, and like I told the doc on vaccines. (I survived 2 Pfizer shot to get over the border)
Just say NO!

Earmarks are the single most insanely corrupt government self enricher we citizens pay for. No wonder their salaries are meaningless when they are allowed stupid narrow focused bribery to get paid and re-elected, then become quickly the rich elite blinded by $$. Liars about what they said before they were elected. I won't vote for any incumbent till it ends.

Earmarks are “corrupt, inequitable and wasteful,” said Thomas Schatz, the president of Citizens Against Government Waste. He added that trading votes for personal spending priorities is “legalized bribery.” Is it 98% of Congress like Assange says? Just a couple examples from the link below include $50 million for an indoor rainforest in Iowa, $500,000 for a teapot museum in North Carolina and $223 million for the now infamous “bridge to nowhere” in Alaska.

Thanks, many here knew but even murder? This guy put it well: From the comments:Charles Edward Schneider

I had a conversation with a registered nurse in late 2021 who worked at a hospital in the Fort Lauderdale area. She told me that the hospital was withholding prescribed medications from many elderly patients and even going so far as to not feed them or keep them hydrated. She was very disturbed about working in such an environment. I asked her why she didn't report this to the authorities. She said that if she did, she would never be able to work in her profession again. It's not hard to figure what was happening in light of the federal incentive payments for Covid-19 diagnoses, following the CDC protocols, and eventually death attributed to Covid-19. Like a restaurant that wants to turn over tables, the hospital wanted to turnover the beds so they could maximize reimbursements from the feds. The faster they could turnover the hospital beds, the more federal cash would pour in. So they minimized the time the unfortunate patients spent in their care by basically killing them. It is hard to believe this is real, that this could actually happen in the United States. I think this is why there is such a long delay in widespread understanding of the corruption that resulted from these perverse Covid-19 incentives. Clearly the obfuscation by the mainstream media is part of the reason. But the media cover-up is easier because the truth is so hard for most people to comprehend. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/09/funny_how_those_covid_causes_of_death_have_dropped_off.html
