A "New" Shell; A Huge Penzey Misstep; Saudi's OSP; And Amazon Prime -- January 31, 2022

First things first, truckers in Saskatchewan headed towards Ottawa. Link here

Now, back to regular programming.

Shell:

First it changes its focus, then it changes its name, now it completes simplification with single line assimilation. Link here at Rigzone.

The company formerly knowns as Royal Dutch Shell plc is now, simply, Shell

As of early this morning, still two trading symbols, RDS-A and RDS-B but both appear to be trading at same price. It will probably take awhile for company to make the administrative changes for a new single ticker symbol. One would assume they would drop the "RD" from the RDS ticker.

Penzeys 

On April 20, 2021, I mentioned that "Penzeys BBQ 3000 is my go-to rub for Cornish hen."

Now this, "the spice company -- Penzeys -- that called Republicans racist begging for gift card purchases after losing customers."

I assume greater than 50% of their market self-identifies as Republican.

No further comment.

Amazon Prime

Subscribers need to brace for a $20-increase in annual subscription cost. 

Our younger daughter recently sent us a very light, small package from Portland, OR, using USPS. That very light, small package cost $17.91 to ship.

I don't think a $20-increase for an Amazon Prime subscription will break the bank. 

In addition, I"m watching a lot more Amazon Prime Video these days. I watch no Apple original programming.
