This will cause gasoline prices in the midwest to go much higher due to the amount of gasoline imported from Alberta. Will he go out like his idol William McKinley??
"We don't need anything from Canada"
- Donnie Demento
@rforno, good comment on the end of importing Canada's wood products. Where does he and his moronic sidekicks think most of the lumber here comes from?
“The Lumber Fairy. People are saying ‘sir, she’s a beautiful provider of all things lumber. You …
Yeah, go ahead and add that poll to your bogus lawsuit, Donnie -- because once again, your slip is showing, and you're too embarrassed to admit it.
Grampa can't let anything go, be it yesterday, last week, last year, or years ago. He just craves…
@rforno If you don't mind the question, why did you sell WES?
It's the smallest of my pipeline holdings and I've been thinking of moving that $$$ elsewhere in the pipeline space .. it's the only MLP I trade in/out of b/c it's more volatile than th…
Sounds a lot like a certain MFO poster, doesn't it?
I would respond to that comment, but I'm suffering from TDS while simultaneously ensuring my investments are always perfect and adjusted well in advance of major market moves, because like our dear…
Little behind on posting this week due to pre-semester crazy.....
Sold my small position in WES
The other day I bought starter in INR for growthy exposure to the Utica/Marcellus regions. Might compliment that with MPLX on any major pullback, too.…
I am using Perplexity Pro more and more for internet research and basic analysis. I especially like how it "cites its sources" so you can see for yourself where the results are coming from.
For example I will ask things like
"Speaking as a [TYPE…
How long before Donnie has ICE and DHS 'investigate' this fund and its shareholders? Because, ALIEN!!!!
I predict this thing will be on the ash-heap of thematic ETFs within 18 months.
Apparently Donnie claims he has Concepts of A Plan(tm) for Greenland with NATO, so he's TACO'ing off his tariff threat on NATO countries ... which remember, he admitted making on incorrect information, according to his recent call with the UK PM.
S…
BBG: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Deutsche Bank AG Chief Executive Officer Christian Sewing called to dismiss a report from one of the German lender’s analysts that had suggested European investors may dump US assets.

"presidential library..."
That comical. He can't even read.
LOL
His 'library' will be letters to himself, 'beautiful' love letters shared by fellow dictators, and a MAGA-curated display of his zillions of 'wins' as 'president.' And oh yeah, don'…
CNBC reporting:
Anders Schelde, AkademikerPension’s investing chief, said the decision was driven by what it sees as “poor [U.S.] government finances” amid America’s debt crisis. But it also comes as tensions escalate between the U.S. and Denmark af…
Stock market across the globe fell today while the precious metals spike significantly. Libration Day 2?

So much winning...
Relatedly, down is up, winning is losing, and we've always been at war with Eastasia.
Apparently, in a weekend phone call, Donnie told UK's PM Starmer that he didn't really know what was happening with the EU military buildup on Greenland when he frantically announced his NATO tariffs.
Turns out, the EU had announced the exercise w…
He's now threatening tariffs on Macron/France if they don't pay-to-join his liddle fake UN club* for $1 billion. If SCOTUS was smart, they'd see this clown is far beyond using tariffs for any legitimate national security purpose (which he repeated…
Maybe I did a good thing last week buying more international bonds?
J. Gundlach for sure agrees. In last week's annual Just Markets webcast he opined that the sell-America trade (tho he didn't use those words) is still in early days, and laid out…
What will they do if the world decides they can get along without the US and simultaneously starts unloading their US bond holdings.
@Anna, exactly!
The world economic order is already changing - trading blocs* and agreements are being inked that …
FWIW Saying I suspect he'll stay on as governor either to spite Donnie and/or for the good of the Fed/country/economy so that Donnie can't fill his seat juuuust yet.
Forget elected officials. How can so many Americans be so sick. This is actually happening by request of (almost?) half the American people.
I really think the majority of those who voted for this had no idea what they were REALLY getting into. The…
Repugnant senators always chicken out. It’s as predictable as waking up to bad regime news every morning. At this point what do you check first each weekday morning? The market?Bad regime news or is he d___ y__?
It's even easier to make a loud, ou…
The stable genius is actually a horse's ass.
'People' are saying 'Sir, it's the most beautiful horse's ass they've ever seen. So powerful and strong, they were in tears admiring it."
If you had bought GLOFX a while ago you would be laughing now to see it running ahead of the 500 these past 12 months.
I have a modest slice in the taxable I bought in 2022. Dumping it from the IRA in the quest for "simplification" was one of the …
But but but the GQP/MAGA told us that weaponizing the government was wrong, bad, and shouldn't happen.....
Yet another distraction from his LATEST failure/fiasco/f*ck-up
Donnie says he’s leaning toward excluding Exxon from his Venezuela plan, saying he was displeased with the company’s response to his initiative. Says “I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute.”
No, it's because Exxon's CEO told the g…
First the TACO, now the EMPANADA. I'm sensing a theme here....
Per POLITICO:
"Companies may follow the playbook of promising the White House they are interested in investing in Venezuela just to stay on Trump’s good side but ultimately not follow…
Exploding the War budget , as opposed to fixing Social Security or health care, really illustrates where this maga GOP is heading! Like flashing strobe lights of warning to all the folks who thought they were going to be helped with much higher cost…
This is LMT just BEFORE the close and just AFTER. LinkedIn
Yes, b/c Donnie's out with a big screed about how he (and the Congressional GQP) supposedly want to increase the defense budget by 50% in 2027 to 1.5T ... all the big names are markedly hi…
Nope. I sold my US defense ETF (IDEF) a week or so ago when Dear Leader was first musing about "doing something" to influence the defense base. Glad I did that.
My European defense ETF, by contrast, is doing juuuuuust fine.
IMO this gives reason…
Now let us ask ourselves, "If this is such a windfall, why would it be necessary to promise taxpayer dollars (more debt!) to entice oil companies to participate?"
Yup! I have an initial buy order on CNQ at $30 (and better) b/c I think Canadian maj…
