Texas Gains Two US House Seats -- Monday, April 26, 2021

Census results are in. Link here.

Congressional seat changes:

  • gains 2: Texas (+2)
  • gains 1: Oregon, Montana, Colorado, Florida, and NC (+5)
  • loses 1: California; New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois (- 7)
  • yup, the math works.

Corn, from social media:

  • after a staggering year-to-date rally, corn is now knocking at the $7-per-bushel door.
  • record imports by China and concerns about the weather are boosting prices
  • spill-over effect into the oil and refinery market via ethanol
  • note: a reader wrote me saying it cost him upwards of $6 - $8 to plant/fertilize/de-weed/harvest a bushel of corn

All things being equal, this looks superb. I would love this. A one-year holding period to be considered capital gains as it is now, I've always thought somewhat ridiculous.
