Enerplus Reports Its "Cat" Wells In Moccasin Creek Oil Field -- May 21, 2018

Exhausted: I'm mentally exhausted. It's hard to know where to begin.  I've been driving all day and listening to Sirius XM Radio all day. SXM comes with the rental; it's the first time I've ever listened to Sirius -- it's quite good, I guess. I did not listen to any news or talk radio, just music stations, and checked in with CNBC very briefly. I kept up with the market today by frequent stops at McDonald's.

The market: The Dow was up almost 300 points today -- the trade war between China and the US is "over." Actually, it never started. Sounds like China will buy all the farm products they can from the US. Winners: Deere and US farmers and ranchers. Losers: South American ranchers (especially Argentina) and non-US farmers around the world. Something tells me Canada will cry foul once they find China will substitute US grain for any Canadian grain it might have planned to buy.

Tesla: most recent "2025, un-callable 5.3% coupon" bonds trading for $86.75. It may not be the all-time low, but it's awful close. Bloomberg (or someone) raised TSLA's target price from current $280/share to $500/share. TSLA shares rose significantly today after that announcement.

Futures: So, futures. Look at this:


WTI: solidly above $72. And that's despite a strong (and strengthening) dollar. A strong dollar generally means less expensive oil; not this time.

Basketball: the Boston Celtics squandered a 2-game lead in the conference championship series (led 2 - 0 after the first two games) by losing two games in a row to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The series is now tied, 2 - 2. Boston was seeded #2 and Cleveland was seeded #4 in this series. Before the series started, I had no favorite. I would like to see Cleveland win now -- LeBron and the city of Cleveland "deserve" it.
