3Q21 Earnings

Note: this is, hands down, one of the most boring things I to do each quarter. I doubt anyone really looks at it but the day I quit doing this will be the day I miss posting something important. The word "important" is used loosely. Very loosely.

This is so boring that I actually didn't record a thing for 1Q20, but that over a year ago. Maybe things have changed. LOL.

A lot of anticipation and excitement over this quarter's earnings reports. We're continuing to come out of the global pandemic; the lockdowns began in March, 2020, about a year ago. The stock market has had an incredible run since the presidential election about nine months ago. 

The big problems now:

• supply chain disruption;
• record lack of workers;
• energy crisis in Europe, UK
