CNN Article on Strait of Hormuz
Posted by Boomer Rick on 8/18/26 at 5:12 pm

If CNN is saying Trump and the U.S. are gaining the upper hand in the Strait of Hormuz, my God, you have to wonder what the reality actually looks like. More than 80% of recent vessel transits are reportedly using the Omani route under U.S. protection, and effective oil flows may already be back near 15M barrels/day vs. 20M prewar. Iran may be unintentionally teaching the world how to move its oil without Iran’s permission—and a couple more bypass pipelines could make that lesson permanent.

No joke. One year in my son’s youth football league, the preseason scrimmage took place on a beautiful day and we even had a little rain.
Then every game that fall was a scorcher.

He gets attention because Christian Bale is an amazing actor and he played the Hollywoodized role perfectly.

Good.
I hate to see people lose their homes, but the housing market was being manipulated and it caused problems. Maybe the increase in inventory will improve affordability.

Just a quick hitter. No explanation should be needed to tell you a sub 1 billion battery company in 2026 is dog shite.

It is a shite company and I got downvoted like crazy for a simple expression of the truth.
There isn’t a company with a magic battery and right now with the pressures on manufacturing (see FLNC as well for a better option with problems) battery companies have huge hurdles to meet their own expectations.

Good for him. I think Amazon will be a winner. In it myself but not to his level at all.

Cramer going nuts this morning. Hard to listen to and he doesn’t want to own tech. Probably a sign that tech is ready for a run lol.
re: Everyone wants more money. But how much more would you actually need to change your life?
Posted by Boomer Rick on 7/20/26 at 8:34 am to SlowFlowPro
A higher income of 100-200k would be great but not life changing.
However, a doubling of my net worth would change my pace of work.

No one has a clue on pricing this company. The ones on here who act like the do are lying.
