Notes From All Over -- Part 1 -- October 5, 2021

Breaking: WTI goes over $79. No doubt Resident Biden is calling OPEC this morning. I don't know what Biden is calling OPEC but it's probably a four-letter word. LOL.

Road to New England: link here. ISO NE.

Streaming: in passing on CNBC --

  • teens: 32% of ther video consumption is from Netflix; down "slightly" from 38% in past years
  • only one streaming company was mentioned: Hulu consumption is increasing (at expense of Netflix?)
  • cable television dropping way, way back

Dividend increase: Centerpoint

  • bittersweet
  • huge cut in dividend mid-2020
  • now gradually increasing that dividend again;
  • announced a penny increase in the dividend to 17 cents/share
  • record date: November 18, 2021; payable in early December (December 9, 2021)

Awards: nominee for "Doofus of the Year, 2021” award:

  • total mileage, mostly highway: 1,516 miles
  • total gallons of regular unleaded: 42.135 gallons
