If you own a business and use QuickBooks, make sure your clients are receiving your invoices. I found out today my corporate invoices are not being delivered to clients. I filed a complaint with the CFPB, the Federal Trade Commission and the North Dakota Attorney General. The issue is they never updated their software to comply with security features put in place by email servers to block pfishing (fake) invoices. Out of 31 invoices, i found out 13 never made it to the clients. This could cause a massive cash flow issue for you moving forward if your clients aren't receiving invoices from your accounts receivable department. Keep an eye out. QuickBooks has no answer. They said their engineers are working on a fix.
Netflix is targeting about nine 30-second ads per hour. So that averages to a 30-second ad every 6.6 minutes. At what point will people abandon the streaming services?
Acts 20:21: Paul summarizes his entire ministry by saying he testified of "repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ."
Matthew 21:32: Jesus points out that the religious leaders saw the work of John the Baptist, yet "repented not afterward, that ye might believe him."
Hebrews 6:1: Lists the foundational principles of the doctrine of Christ, starting with "repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God."
Acts 19:4: Paul explains that John the Baptist told people they should "repent" and that they should "believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."
Luke 24:47: Jesus instructs that "repentance and remission of sins" should be preached in his name—with "remission of sins" elsewhere being tied directly to belief (Acts 10:43).
And stress that even apartment dwellers can still plant a small garden. When we lived in an apartment, we had tomato plants, leaks, which are the easiest thing in the world to grow, peppers, and carrots. Every little bit helps. Also, support your local farmers' market. Not only is the food less expensive, but it is also healthier.
@WhitakerTA_ Son of a Farmer, Child of the Earth" by Eric Herm. This book was written many years ago, but is timely for today. Many of our issues could be resolved if people followed the advice from this 4th-generation farmer.
@iDenville@WhitakerTA_ The average American has no idea how to begin planting a garden. I am thankful my wife and I have one. I was raised on a farm in the 70s and 80s. Thank God, Dad taught me basic survival skills.
Last year our projects were wrecked by the tariffs, and this year they are being wrecked by fuel costs. At least the fuel costs are a little easier because of fuel surcharges. I bid a bunch of work last fall and now the numbers don't work. So far, no pushback from my clients. Why are fuel costs so high in Ohio?
@mrransomx@SullyCNBC Wow. I bought 5000 gallons for my trucks and equipment a month and a half ago at 75 cents/gallon less than it costs today. The fuel surcharges are adding tremendous costs to our projects. Going to be an interesting summer.
We can get more done with one rig today than we could with two rigs five years ago. The drilling efficiencies are far greater. We are drilling four-mile laterals now in the Bakken as opposed to two-mile laterals just a few short years ago. I do agree that the futures markets are being manipulated to artificially hold down prices. Who would have ever thought that with the Straight of Hormuz closed, we would see oil at $100? I remember when a hurricane would move through the Gulf of America, that oil would spike 10% because of a one-week shutdown of production. The markets are not reflecting the true risks. Plus, even bringing up new rigs is a challenge because we do not have the labor to support the additional rig count. Many workers have been burned by the ups and downs of the industry and have abandoned the industry as a whole. I own an oilfield service company in the Bakken, and finding laborers is nearly impossible. No one wants to come to North Dakota, particularly in the winter, to work on a rig.
You are correct. But a healthy market is not one in which roughly 90% of returns are driven by a single industry. Market concentration of these proportions is extremely dangerous. All it takes is one domino to fall, and the house crashes down around it. I understand the companies are wildly profitable. We will see what happens. I am heavily invested in the mega caps, so I have a vested interest in their continued success. However, I worked for Corning in the fiber-optics division in the 90's and have a very distinct memory of how quickly things crashed. Good debate, sir. Have a great weekend.
