"the definition of a consultant is someone who borrows your watch to tell you the time", well maybe, but if you had a watch and you were asking what the time was, that has to be at least partly on you.

Will risk the ire of the market gods by taking a small victory* lap here, but this is now just a hair short of a $1B market cap (has been there before though).
(Fwiw, have been a net seller for the past few months).
Salad shooters + ammo.

Am going to risk posting about a name on the smaller side here.
$NPK, current market cap $580M.
Should be a familiar name for old time Berkshire holders (won't rehash history here). The contemporarily relevant observation here is due to @extrapolationcm.bsky.social
Quick snapshot of the B/S:

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

I did not expect Bill Gates to be in so deep in the Epstein mess. When he quit the Berkshire board and had the divorce, I dismissed speculation that it was Epstein related as pure tin foil hat conspiracy theory. Seems I was pretty wrong about that.

I definitely got it wrong: had assumed that Twitter would eventually be owned by the debt holders. Should have remembered it's all Elon Co. (headed the way of Solar City).

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

Question for the natural born Americans seeing this:
Do you keep a copy of your birth certificate handy at home?
As in, say someone showed up at your doorstep and asked you to prove your U.S. citizenship. How do you do it?
Passport does it. Drivers license doesn't (but plus birth cert does).

Our fiscal response to the pandemic was a lot more robust than that of a lot of European countries. S-tier honestly. I wish our welfare state was also S tier.

I regret to inform you that the decision to invade Venezuela for It’s oil is actually most likely an example of ass-backwards state autonomy, rather than of state capture by the oil companies.
