lj: We don't have Wally World's up here in the Yankee north!
lj: My guess is that they will declare a ceasefire for 24-48 hours starting on December 24.
The big problem now is what should be done about the Houthis.
The Saudis allegedly are declaring peace with the Houthis, which is not good for the West. (The enemy of my enemy is my friend.)
lj: A whole lotta frackin' goin' on:

lj: Filled up at $2.95 at a small, independent oil company. They are a retailer, of course, selling and delivering oil for home heater as well as running a chain of gas stations. On the main highway, the same outfit was was selling the 87 octane for $3.00.
On another note, they say the Red Sea looks like a parking lot.
nelson1234: BELFB
I'll put a conservative price target of $80 on the stock.

r59: Let's see whether the Feds try to block the sale. IMO, it is a BIG national security risk to have foreign ownership of a steel company.
al44: Good post. Well said. Hunter, imo, is headed for the big house.
Is this a distraction from what the J6 tapes reveal? IMO, that should be the MAGA Republicans' main focus--the J6 black flag operation--not impeachment.
al44: Yet another reason for impeachment of Biden: he took the Houthis off of the terrorist watch list.
Look, if Biden is impeached and convicted, Harris would be President with the same people running the company.
Impeaching AND convicting him would accomplish nothing. The Republicans in the Senate aren't going to vote for conviction.
But what the House is doing exposes his crimes to people whose news sources are Dem-controlled. The New York Times, e.g., has to report on the flow of transactions. Comer has proof of 4 payments to Old White Joe's bank account that can be traced to Hunter's "alleged" grifting.
(When I confront my liberal friends with the evidence that is coming out, they immediately shutdown the conversation. The liberals who voted for Biden cannot face the truth. After they run and hide, I send them a one-line message: "As Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., said, 'The truth is out there'."
(But will it see free those poor J6 people who are rotting in jail?)
al44: They help Republicans win elections!
lj: They don't have a crystal ball. But it stands to reason that the Democrats will do everything in the their power to keep oil prices low next year.
ksquared: Rich Dems will pour tons of money into the race to make she doesn't win.
al44: do morons like this guy understand that "phobia" means 'fear of"? No one fears him, the clown.
NYBob: The Ukraine War is pretty much over. The sentiment in this country is against further funding.
If Biden wants more money for Ukraine, he should ask Zuckerberg for the money.
lj: Gas p;rices
Finally saw gasoline below $3, at $2.98, but was in the wrong lane to stop at the station! Down to a quarter of a tank. I'm holding out for $2.95 or less!
lj: GRRR
Good find. Thanks.
Katie bar the door, err, border. Why is she sending troops now? According to the real Governor (IMO), Kari Lake, she took down barriers at the border after the election. Is she part of a Democrat conspiracy to undermine Joe Biden so he will not be able to run again? This woman is disgusting. The mop atop her empty head says everything you need to know about her. Very professional looking. https://www.yahoo.com/news/arizonas-governor-sending-states-national-005246707.html
lj: I notice that XOM went back down to $100 and change. That surprised me. If interest rates come down next year, the dividend yield will seem very nice. I think they WILL come down, because, imo, there will be a recession starting in Q1.
Peon thesis, as you say.
lj: I don't think fuel demand will dip. People run around like crazy doing last-minute Christmas shopping. College kids are home, driving here and there. People are traveling by car. Airlines are booked solid. Fuel demand should be higher, imo.
DD: See, you are not capable of impartiality. TDS. Comparing Hunter Biden to Trump. A new low. Pathetic. Sad.
DD: Rudy Guliani is a crook? You are living in lala land.
DD: Speak for yourself!
lj: REI and GRRR
REI: Bought shares today, but realized afterward I should have waited until next week when there will be a lot of tax-loss selling.
I wanted to get it at the 52-week low.
My plan is to sell it next year with a $1 per share profit. Don't think that is an unreasonable expectation.
GRRR: Increased my holdings by 1/3rd. IMO, the law of averages should get it back to $1 at some point next year.
So, this peon has been buying junk today! Also bought a very small position in HUM. It has been hit lately.
This is the time of year to buy crap for a swing trade sometime next year.
lj: REI
U might think they are giving away shares of REI. I am not in the stock at the moment. Still watching.
lj: XOM down to $100 and change, but the $98 puts for next Friday are pathetic. Tells me big money thinks oil stocks will go up next week. Serf thesis.
lj: GRRR Will give it a few more quarters to see whether they land more contracts.
The Biden Administration's goal is to have 50 percent of vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2030 EV's.
Delusional. I don't think there will be a market for all of the lithium that could be mined:

DD: I don't care about that stupid case. The woman named her
dog "vagina". Rape? Please.
lj: Oil had a good day. I didn't expect it to pop this week. Now I wish that XOM and VTLE would be put to me tomorrow at $98 and $40, respectively! If the contracts expire unexercised tomorrow, I'll repeat the exercise if the stocks drift back down.
nelson1234: BELFB
Have you seen the stock movement since Tuesday? I wasn't serious when I opined in a post to you months ago that it might go to $100, but now I am beginning to wonder!
NYBob: I love Epoch Times! Thanks for posting the news.
DD: Uh, Trump's indictments are the smokescreen. Why know? It is called lawfare.
The Republicans have the goods on Joe. Maybe not enough for a conviction in the Senate, but enough to make the general public aware of what a bunch of grifters the Bidens are. Hunter is headed to the big house, and he knows it.
lj: Only Marathon station I have seen around here is in Baltimore City, where I wouldn't stop, and the price is the lowest around.
DD: I am aware of the quote. They want to investigate Hunter, not Joe.
I have one word to say to you: Burisma. This is no way you can spin Joe's bragging about getting the prosecutor fired.
That is the smoking gun.
ksquared: More on the dance troupe--uh, oh! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12865453/Jill-Biden-White-House-Christmas-dance-troupe-radical-BLM-loving-activists.html
White House Christmas video:
Scroll down in the article to the video and check out.
It is being trashed mercilessly.
I really like it, believe it or now.
I am a fan of 1930's musical movies (love Fred and Ginger, Eleanor Powell). Christmas is really for children, and I think children will love the dancing characters.
You will like it or hate it. There is no middle ground.

DD: Burisma, Burisma, Burisma, Burisma, Burisma. Get it? Oh yeah, he should be impeached over the invasion at the Southern Border. Now go back to watching MSNBC.

lj: $2.64 at Shell is unbelievable! Gas is still hovering around $3/gallon here. I need to fill up today. Film at 11!
The $40 VTLE and the XOM $98 puts I've sold for tomorrow are almost in the money.
al44: Amen to that. On January 6 he would have been locked up. The people who promoted Byrd are evil, imo.
