Nothing I post, repost, like, etc. should be taken as financial advice. Don't listen to me, I'm not rich.

The Toronto Circus Riot broke out on this day 170 years ago — sparked by a brawl between angry clowns and firefighters at a Victorian brothel. Here's my annual thread about one of the strangest stories in Canadian history...

A lot of the posts I see are from a Bluefin starter pack I followed a couple of years ago. Does anyone have an updated version of this? Maybe I'm just not savvy enough to keep it updating?

One of the most spectacular tricks that the “wellness” grift has managed to pull off is convincing people that their industry is untainted by money. That they are all doing it out of their deep concern for their customers’ health. Yet the global supplement industry alone is worth $177 billion.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox. “In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

Probably should be a bigger deal that Musk, the richest man on Earth who is essentially acting as the leader of the GOP, endorsed the pro-Nazi AfD Party in Germany in a tweet the same a day a supporter of that party killed people in an act of terrorism. The VP Vance just supported Musk's tweet.

Tariffs could really help Chinese companies selling on Amazon , Walmart etc because their Cost of goods sold is lower than their competitors. So the tariff paid will be lower. Increasing the price advantage Gonna be interesting www.theinformation.com/articles/why...

No Democrats should even be remotely close to supporting Pete Hegseth for SecDef. Beyond his many moral failings, he is completely unqualified for the job. You have to be out of your damn mind to think he has any place leading our troops.

You can look at pricing-led margin expansion as gouging or you can look at it as companies trying to build cushion in an environment of extreme uncertainty, but either way aggressive pricing did lead to an expansion of margins--what Sam Rines called PoV strategy (price over volume).

If you voted out the incumbent because you thought gas prices were too high, I have yet more bad news for you. The petroleum industry is well-integrated across North America. In the American Midwest, most refined petroleum products come from Canada bsky.app/profile/gasb...

Canada is sending the US nearly 4.5 million barrels of oil per day, and a quality of oil (heavy sour) that the US can not easily replace.

A 25% tariff on Canadian oil would have huge impacts to #gasprices in the Great Lakes, Midwest and Rockies, which are the major markets where refiners process Canadian oil. Refiners can not simply process lighter oil overnight. It would take huge investments and years. More US supply wouldn't help.
