Manic Monday -- October 21, 2024
Locator: 48614B.
Election: two weeks tomorrow, it's over. We could know outcome by 8:01 p.m. EDT. But if the East Coast doesn't give us the answer then we wait for Wisconsin, CDT.
Two weeks before the election (although early voting has started across many (most?) states.
US equity markets: Dow and S&P 500 will open at record highs and immediately drop 0.5% to 1.5%.
Kenvue: shares surge.
Boeing: machinists reach deal with company?
Hubris, smugness, IYKYK, hope springs eternal, an inflation hedge: it may be, but there must be some reason why folks still invest in oil.

RBN Energy: Shell's Pennsylvania petchem complex finally firing on all cylinders.
Shell’s petrochemical complex in Western Pennsylvania has had plenty of challenges on its way to startup and full operation. Announced a dozen years ago, the project was set back by COVID-related construction delays and a rougher-than-expected production ramp-up. But that’s all in the past now (fingers crossed) and the ethane-rich Northeast finally has its first big ethylene plant. In today’s RBN blog, we’ll examine Shell’s return to plastics and what it took to get there.

More Examples Of Deflation / Disinflation -- Local Time, Tel Aviv, 2:17 A.M. -- October 20, 2024
Locator: 48611ARCHIVES.
Disinflation / deflation: again, another Amazon product on sale. I ordered this one -- without even looking at the price -- I was going to buy it regardless. I was on my bike at the time. When I got home, I received the message from Amazon that the order had been received. And that's when I noticed the price. This is for Sophia (it's a surprise; don't tell her). She wants to be a marine biologist and study at UC-San Diego. I'm thinking maybe JCU, Australia -- see below.
Eggs, by the way, are down to $2.69 at Target today --- and surprise, surprise! They're almost sold out.
Yogurt? Chobani is on sale. Regularly $1.49 for 5.3-oz single serving; being sold today for $1.00 -- is that 33% off per serving? Sugar per serving? I''ll get back to that later.
GoogleAI: what is the best school in the world to study marine biology?
