i hope he is wrong, but fear he is correct. And most people these days are being fed nothing but happy economic news by the media they consume. As an example, check out Mathew Yglesias on the "miracle of Bidenomics." |

I hope you bought a bunch of Microsoft last month Code, it's up $20 today. We're all going to be rich!
Seriously, that is a core stock to hold basically forever.

And as long as people like your product, and can pay (or trade) for it, you're set. Congratulations.
As a kid, I was fascinated with our local limestone quarries. They made great swimming holes. They are generally excavations done horizontally from the level of our incised creeks. Nearly vertical cliffs of Burlington Limestone on one-to-three sides and a hole in the middle. Ground water kept circulation up ... and lime is a natural anti-bacterial (I didn't know that then). None of us ever got sick ... and only the show-offs ever broke anything.  Potentially great building sites if properly landscaped. Alas ... the city filled in our old pool and built a warehouse on it. Yes, quarries and mines are fascinating places, fun to pick around and see whatever you can find. We have found arrowheads and a few other Indian tools (on top of the rock and under the sod), and many Paleozoic fossils. Our rocks are very old, I think it would be more interesting if it were late Cretaceous or so. We did close on the second lease, and have been producing out of the first. Well, that land has turned into something of a bonanza, news travels fast and two other large companies have begun quarries on that ridge. One I can see from the highway miles away. My lease I think is the best one. Putting it up for sale now. I am getting the mining permit done, and had a land man out there today. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon hike in the woods last September. |

Those perma bears are like the broken clock that's right twice a day. The recession talk is so old news, we've been in a recession since most of 2022.
Microsoft had great earnings but sold off after guidance talk. I might get a little more.
