Later, 2:54 p.m. CT: this is fascinating. I can park my cash in "T" and earn 6.06% and leave a boatload of "T" to my heirs. Meanwhile, money market funds:

Yes, I know one can find better money market rates.

Note: I use "T" generically -- there are other equities other than "T" that pay nicely, also.

Clearing Out The In-Box -- March 19, 2023

High cost; little return: is this why Amazon is re-thinking Rivian? From The WSJ

Mercedes and EVs from Reuters today:

Trader Joe's beating out conventional supermarkets. Link to The WSJ. Inflation? What inflation?

Covid: we dodged a bullet -- but it wasn't luck. Link to The WSJ.


EVs: if they didn't buy them when money was free; why would they buy them when interest rates are surging. Link to The WSJ.

Nvidia last week. A reminder

Tech is now a defensive play. Link to Barron's.

Apple: to break another records -- iPhone 15 Pro Max with thinnest bezels on a smartphone. Link here.

Got octane? Link to Bloomberg.

Gasoline Demand -- March 19, 2023

The most recent EIA weekly petroleum report was posted here.

Then, today, I received this from the reader who follows this more closely than anyone else, as far as I am aware:

I would also be interested in how gasoline production could fall by 446,000 bpd and the net output of other products also be down at the same time during a week when refinery throughput was up by 430,000 bpd, as it was this week (March 10 data)....

It looks like the EIA needs more "fudge factors." 

Which reminded me. I did not post this week's report on "gasoline demand."

So, what was the most recent gasoline demand data? Gasoline demand, 2023, has now reached 2022 levels but will likely drop again next week:
