BR With Three New Permits -- November 16, 2020

Monday Night Football: a 3 - 5 teams takes on a 5 - 4 team. One of the teams: the Vikings. I'll tune in for the start. Curious how long I last.

TCM:

• 6:00 p.m.: "Jailhouse Rock," 1957
• 8:00 p.m.: "The Diary of Anne Frank," 1959 (will put the current pandemic in perspective); 3 hours long;

Meteor shower: this will probably be the best show of the night. 

**********************************
Back to the Bakken

Director's Cut: should be released tomorrow, Tuesday, November 17, 2020, later afternoon. 

ICYMI: MDU increased its dividend for the 30th consecutive year. This time from 20.75 cents to 21.25 cents, or, assuming I did the math correctly, half a cent. If you own a million shares of MDU, you should receive ... one million x 0.005 = $5,000; record date, December 10, 2020, and payment date, January 1, 2021. What's not to like. I have somewhat less than a million shares of MDU. About a million less. I've held MDU off and on over the years, but generally have not been well rewarded. I guess my market timing is off. I didn't even do well with MDU during the height of the Bakken boom.
