    Mrs Mo is 9 months from retirement and I'm 1 1/2 years away. Our financial advisor recently said she is going to start slowly moving some of our money to things with more predictable returns, but probably less chance for higher returns. With everything at all time highs, it looks like the money gods have been kind to us.

    That the purported independence occurred in Trump’s 3rd year?  I’m not sure that’s the message you want to convey to your CR buddies on the Dark Brandon thread. 

    Regardless, it’s a totally meaningless sign. One that signals we have a glut of gas that isn’t compatible with most of our country’s transportation energy needs.  The graph doesn’t tell anything other than that. I would argue it’s a BAD sign that your champion’s energy department has that much gas in its borders, and puts policies in place that show it has zero idea had to administer that tremendous resource. 

    On the other hand, GOP folks keep crowing that we WERE energy independent under Trump (based on the same "net exporter" metric) but that Biden has crippled it. Trump lately has been dusting off the  "we're gonna drill, baby, drill" line as one of the top priorities in his 2nd term. All of which is pretty fucking dumb given current production levels and import/export numbers.

    By and large, people outside the industry, both on the left and right, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about when mixing politics and O&G.

    Did it come with spandex, or do you have to buy your own?

    Spandex, hair spray, men's makeup kit, and kilo of cocaine ordered separately.

  4. Silly new guitar day for me yesterday. I now have a dedicated  "80's shredder." Jackson DKAM (Transparent Red) delivered yesterday.

    Been learning a bunch of cheesy 80's hair metal solos lately. Style of playing definitely calls for 24 frets and a double locking Floyd Rose. Maple fretboard plays quicker than the Pau Ferro on my PRS and the jumbo frets make for cleaner tapping.

  5. Never bothered me much as a younger man, but I've noticed the past 2 or 3 years that it takes me a solid week to get adjusted.

    Sleep has been all kinds of fucked up the past 3 nights.

    12 bips now. I saw the 275 number and worried and then saw no big deal and breathed a sigh of relief. 

    Solid jobs number in the February report, but wage growth was soft. U3 went up, but so did prime age population/employment ratio. Overheated January report revised down closer to initial expectations (both on jobs added and wage growth). 

    I would assume pretty much exactly what Fed was looking to see this month after the January surprise. Markets believe a June rate cut is more likely than it was at 7:29 this morning.
