@JohnnyBateman7 It's just amazing that all that talent never had a winning season in Houston until only one of them (Wynn) was left.

@Catahoula_Value @shaskell12 @Ron284Ron I once visited $BLX in Panama and asked for decaffeinated coffee.
It did not exist there.

@shaskell12 @Ron284Ron A Wall Street analyst walks into United Bank in Atmore looking for 'synergies' and 'disruptive scale.' The teller offers him a sweet tea and tells him the lobby closes at 4. I don't think Excel models have a cell for “Southern Hospitality.” 🤣

@TimyanBankAlert Yes, but could have done both!

@notgaetti And even fewer mention that from 1929-1931, the Philadelphia Athletics finished 13+ games ahead of them every single year.
English
I know this sounds crazy, but still, somehow, not enough people talk about Ruth & Gehrig hitting back-to-back in the same lineup for years. Like, on any given day, either one of them could be considered the greatest hitter that ever lived. The fact that they coexisted is nuts.

@FredCam53180687 @OleTimeHardball @baseball_ref Number of years is a big part of it. 21 years for Ripken, 18 for Kershaw. Nobody is saying that George Sisler, Frank Robinson or Jackie Robinson wasn’t better for a few years.
English
@OleTimeHardball @baseball_ref Probably much proves that WAR is vastly overrated. I don't know that Ripken would be Top 5 for Orioles. Drysdale and Koufax were both better than Kershaw.

Lender First National Bank of Omaha took control over MoZaic West office building and Lagoon Cinema in Uptown Minneapolis with a $7M credit bid at foreclosure auction. MoZaic East goes to foreclosure auction in April. FNBO is owed $55.3M across 2 loans. In early 2025 FNBO sued to foreclose alleging default on the loans. "Uptown has continued to struggle after national retailers left during the pandemic and construction along Hennepin Avenue hurt businesses in the years following. The corridor also has experienced livability issues like open-air drug use." @Michele_Tafoya @KRobbinsMN -bizjournals #commercialrealestate

@balajis @PeterZeihan Yes. He's very smart guy but also tethered to his traditional sources' worldview.
English
Btw, I do give @PeterZeihan credit for talking about axes that few were considering 10+ years ago. Those constants like shipping lanes did become variables. I mainly disagree with the sign of his conclusions, in terms of what he expects to rise and fall.
x.com/balajis/status…
Balaji@balajis
Conversely, I do give Zeihan credit for identifying interesting axes, things that people took for granted as constants that he rightly recognized to be variables. Like US willingness to guard shipping lanes, or commodity exports, or geographical chokepoints. I mainly disagree with the sign of his conclusions, not the specific axes he flags.

@shortbus_ace Thanks for resurrecting this name. Hadn't thought about in a while. It's been a very well run operation since Sandy & Jamie fixed it 30 years ago.
But it looks like the stock was as cheaper or even cheaper in early 2025. What do people fear? Besides the poors?
English
look, I get it. you want to be bearish the lower-end consumer because the price of tanning oil is up a lot
that's nice, anon. I'm happy for you, but I don't care. this little food fight in Iran has presented an opportunity to once again buy maybe the best consumer lender in the country, OneMain Financial, at attractive multiples
maybe you're not familiar with the beauty that is $OMF, but this is a company that had a lower peak NCO% than $AXP during the GFC while lending to a much "lower quality" consumer cohort and does a 20%+ ROE regularly
oh and they currently trade at 7x earnings and a 8% dividend yield. do with this information as you please, but I plan to keep building a position
Thank you very little,
