Hey @grok, how long would it take to get flow drilling some oil wells in Taranaki Brownfield areas assuming a state of emergency is declared due to a supply shortage. And how long would it take to get refining operations going?

yes there is volatility, however does the exchange expect renewed price interest in trading their contracts with these hikes or is this protecting the clearing firms from a player who may be in trouble?

It's not an exaggeration โ Chinese is just amazing!!! Listen to this poem where almost every word is pronounced "yu" (of course with different tones and meanings), yet it still tells a detailed and vivid story:

Yu Yu wanted to go fishing. He came to my house and found me. He said to me, "I want to go fishing in the shallows of Yushui. Will you go with me?" I replied, "I plan to sell a piece of jade. Yu Yu wants to buy it, so I have to go to his house." So I went to Yu Yu's house together with Yu Yu to meet him and try to sell the jade. Just then, it started to rain heavily. The rainwater flooded Yu Yuโs house. I said to Yu Yu, "I originally planned to go fishing in the shallows of Yushui โ should I fish now, or sell the jade?" While taking shelter from the rain at Yu Yu's house, I sold the jade to him. When the rain stopped, Yu Yu and I slowly left Yu Yu's house and went to the shallows of Yushui to go fishing.

โWhen #silver moves, it is a truly spectacular event. You have an asset class that can triple, and that increase can be magnified two or three times in the higher quality equities around that asset class. The rent you get paid is so extraordinary that the holding cost of maintaining a position in anticipation becomes negligible.โ
