It's cheaper, but still not cheap.

If you enjoy writing, do it as much as you'd like.  If you don't like it and merely feel obligated to do so, do it less.  But there's plenty of time in a week to watch both more ball games, and right many blogs.

Good read.

IE: retail isn't selling, so the price is in an odd spot Bullish.

If the GOP wins the midterms, they have hinted that they may cut off funding to Ukraine. If that happens, the tide will quickly turn in Putin's favor. And if that's the case, it may make sense for Ukraine to cut a deal now, while they still hold the advantage.

Of course Putin cares little for the loss of life on  either side. If the GOP wins, he'll likely just wait Ukraine out and for their funding to dry up.

You really think Russia would have honest elections?  In that case, I have a bridge to sell you.  Come on, I've read your articles - you are far too smart to really believe that.

1.  Musk's "peace deal" sounded like it was penned in Moscow. It gave Russia a clear win.  Maybe he should stick to building cars instead of trying to be an architect for world peace.
2. Russia has always believed  Ukraine was a part of Russia and has been picking away at it for years.  Hard to claim the invasion was due to recent Ukrainian aggression.

Great read, thanks.

Good article, and yes I agree that this is really just about the midterm elections.  Biden has to show he's trying to at least do something to bring down the cost of gas.  But I'm not so sure that had he lost, things would be any different now either.  I would say much of this is currently out of the White House's control.

What makes it suddenly at hand?  Seems like business as usual whenever I turn on the TV.  Besides, it is unfortunately not up to us.  Maniacs like Putin, Kim Jong-un, Khamenei, and others have no interest in world peace.
