A nice well in Divide County brought to my attention by a reader.

Exciting Times, Quick Notes -- April 5, 2025

Locator: 48427GDP.

Wow, I'm jazzed.

I don't think folks get it.

There's a reason the Dems are so upset with the tariffs, the markets, the price of oil. 

Most important: JPow and Federal Reserve don't seem worried. 

They're afraid Trump's instincts are correct.

His timing was perfect.

If US House and US Senate could get their act together ...

The headline from Ted Cruz yesterday was appalling ... he doesn't get it either.

First question: how much more did it cost you today -- how much did your cost of living jump today -- now that tariffs have gone into effect? 

Quick!

  • in dollars, what's the US GDP?
  • in dollars, how much does the US import every year, we'll call that figure xI?

No one can get their heads around the US economy -- well, maybe Musk can and Jamie Dimon, but that's about it. 

So, in dollars, at a minimum of 10% in tariffs, what is [(0.1 times xI)/12]?

People need to be reading some books.  This is what I'm reading.

****************************
Airport McDonald's

I'm blown away what I can get for $6.00. At the airport! 

Compare it to $8.00 at Starbucks.

And the speed is absolutely amazing.

My hunch: McDonalds will blow away the competition this year.

WTI Plunges; Settles Below $62; CLR With Four New Permits -- April 4, 2025

Locator: 48425B.

Tiktok: is becoming more and more irrelevant by the day. Close to a deal (?) but then China says "no" after new Trump tariffs; Trump extends waiver for 75 days. Having said that, "75 days" might be an important "line in the sand."

JPow and the Fed: the fact that the Fed is willing to "wait and see" speaks volumes.

Cowboys:

*********************************
Back to the Bakken

WTI: $61.99 -- a reminder, Trump has been advocating for much lower crude oil prices, so no complaining.
