Liquidity can be broken down further into volume profile and net proceeds. 1) There is a good likelihood that a house and a stock portfolio can both be sold tomorrow, no problem. But you may have to offload the house at “fire sale” prices ,

I wouldn’t use rinse aid. It’s not good for you - damages your gut and may contain dioxane byproducts. I also would avoid detergents with ethoxylated alcohols (AEs). What to look for is any powder or powder-filled pod with a) no AEs and b)

Decent example of a basic (vs specialty) chemicals company, although they are huge of course and quite diversified, they make a crap ton (millions of tons) of basic stuff like propylene, ethylene, ammonia, methanol, etc

We call those “specialty chemicals” and it’s smaller volumes but much higher profit margins. Evonik (Germany) is another example. Things like- not the asphalt shingle, not the granules on the asphalt shingles, but a COATING ON the granule o

That’s not how markets work though. For instance, just because one share of AAPL sold at $270 does not mean all 15 billion outstanding shares can be sold for that price. If a sell order was put in for even 10k shares you’d quickly find out

I wasn’t making that argument. I’m rather inclined to Jefferson’s ideas (himself a severe anti-monarchist) of promoting individual human dignity and capability; the critical role of moral virtue and education; “small republics” and self-gov

The generational succession is VASTLY more predictable than a random one, considering the successor comes from the same house and has literally spent his entire life being groomed and prepared to rule.

It’s not a secret that there’s a legal loophole and how it might be used. And congress don’t need classified access to change the law. So I don’t see how any of that relates. The problem of effective oversight is likewise orthogonal to the
