A Texas man is taking World Cup tourists four-wheeling, dancing, horseback riding, and shopping at Buc-ee's to give them the best American experience.
Drew Haas of Texas is taking tourists to his 30-acre property to help them make the most of their travels.
"We love this lifestyle. We enjoy every second of it. We just wanna, like, soak it in," one tourist said.
Amazing.

Most investors focus on what management says.
I pay more attention to what management does.
That’s why this announcement from $QTEX is interesting.
The CEO, chairman, and senior leadership team have indicated they intend to use their own money to purchase up to 2 million shares over the next 12 months.
Not company money.
Personal money.
That’s an important distinction.
Executives already receive salaries, stock awards, and incentives.
When they voluntarily buy shares with cash from their own pockets, they’re increasing their exposure alongside shareholders.
Think about it this way:
If you owned a restaurant and believed business would improve dramatically over the next few years, would you be buying more ownership or selling it?
Management purchases don’t guarantee success.
But they can reveal conviction.
What’s especially interesting is the timing.
QTREX is positioning itself around quantum computing infrastructure, cryogenic connectivity, advanced electronics manufacturing, aerospace, and defense applications.
These are industries that could experience significant growth if quantum computing moves from research labs into commercial deployment over the coming decade.
The market often focuses on quantum processors.
But every quantum computer also needs supporting infrastructure.
Connectivity.
Packaging.
Interconnects.
Cryogenic systems.
The companies building those “picks and shovels” may become just as important as the companies building the quantum computers themselves.
Of course, investors should remain realistic.
This is still an early-stage company.
Revenue growth, commercialization, customer adoption, and execution matter far more than insider purchases alone.
But insider buying can be a signal.
Not of certainty.
Of confidence.
The deeper lesson is this:
In emerging industries, the future is uncertain.
When the people closest to the business choose to increase their ownership, it’s often worth paying attention.
Not because they know the future.
But because they know more about the business than anyone else.
Sometimes the strongest statement management can make isn’t in a press release.
It’s with their own wallet.
BREAKING: President Trump says the deal with Iran is “now complete.”

On April 20th 2020, something "impossible" happened: oil futures prices crashed through the floor, settling at MINUS $37.62 a barrel
The reason? Because of lockdowns, demand for fuel crashed, oil tanks filled up, and no storage space was left, so those who held oil for delivery had to dump contracts at any price.
Important to notice how, in 2020, speculative traders were positioned heavily long on Oil futures under the assumption lockdowns would not have lasted long and demand quickly spiked as soon as they were lifted, propping up the depressed crude oil prices.
What would it take for the exact opposite to happen and for oil prices to suddenly skyrocket? Logically speaking, the answer is: SPR, Commercial, and Cushing inventories all at critical lows at the same time while demand remains strong and supply is in deficit.
Does anything I said sound familiar? Of course it does, because that's exactly where we are right now. Those who say all-time low SPRs don't matter might be right. Those who say low commercial inventories do not matter might be right. Those who say Cushing hitting tank bottoms do not matter might be right too. Yes, they might be right if you consider these factors in isolation.
The problem is that all-time low SPRs, low commercial inventories, Cushing about to hit tank bottoms, while demand remains strong (otherwise monster drawdowns would not happen) ARE ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.
Beware: trading models are always based upon what happened in the past, but they aren't the right tool to try to predict something that never happened for the simple reason they have no data points to be built on. This is the reason why those who just looked at their models and charts could not see coming what happened in 2020.
The same is happening today; that's just how the system works. Furthermore, opposite to what happened in 2020, speculative traders are holding a significant amount of short positions, effectively betting against the laws of Mother Nature, exactly like in 2020.
