@AdamSchefter Santa Clause sled that’s pomegranate red

Texans are debuting their new Battle Red jerseys and Battle Red chrome helmets Sunday night vs. the Detroit Lions.

@CarolWalshReal1 @mwmoedinger This describes about 70% of my clients right now. Young families that would typically upsize, but are locked into low interest rates on their current homes and do not want to double or triple their mortgage payments.

Interesting to see the West picking back up above the other regions. But I think so much remodeling was pulled forward during covid in terms of homeowners. What will be interesting to watch now with so many rate locked in will they just decide to do an addition etc rather than move?

Let's talk about the Architecture Billings Index. Today's monthly report came out, showing the 14th straight month of decline. That ain't good. Architecture firms are an economic leading indicator - a canary in the coal mine - if billings are down, that means not as much stuff is getting designed, and that means that 9-12 months from now, that stuff won't be getting built. The ABI a monthly report that shows whether architecture firms' billings are increasing or decreasing compared to the previous month, and is widely used within the industry [and beyond] as an economic indicator. Here is March 2024. Anything below 50 is bad. This data has been collected for many years. Here's a graph showing the ABI since 2008. You can see the long climb out of the recession, and stable billings until the crater of 2020. Then, a quick recovery, followed by steady decline. The yellow line is baseline - anything above that is good, anything below that is bad. We want to be at or above the yellow line. We aren't, and haven't been for a while. What's interesting about that is that even though developers aren't building [ahem, interest rates], they're also not teeing up projects. Architects can stay busy in downturns doing feasibility work for developers who are lining up projects that they can "press play" on as soon as the lending/financing environment becomes more favorable. We do plenty of that work, and have a few developers doing that as we speak. But most have stopped. But, developers aren't the only ones who hire architects - institutions, homeowners, government, and businesses all hire architects - and when billings are below that yellow baseline, it usually means every sector is down. Here is a graph of billings by sector [black = institutional; red = commercial/industrial; yellow = residential [incl. multifamily] Remember, anything below 50 is bad. And here is the same graph, by region [yellow = midwest; black = south; red = northeast; teal = west]...again, not good no matter where you are. Anecdotally, architects report in this month's ABI that they have an average backlog of 6.6 months, so the pipeline isn't completely empty...but it's not exactly robust. Running an architecture practice is a tough business is tough in the best of times...and the data confirms, it's been especially hard the last 12-16 months. If you are in the industry, and/or just interested in the economy, you should subscribe to the monthly report. Google "architecture billings index AIA" and you'll find it.

@tomecurran Not sure it matters what they do at QB with this O-line and these receivers

🚨 QUICK SLANTS SHORT ESSAY 🚨 Give me your concise three-step plan for how you'd proceed at the QB position over the next six months if you ran the Patriots. Please. And thank you. (Concise! And we'll read the best at 6ish on Quick Slants)

@ZoandBertrand are we sure Judge isn’t going to be Dwight Shrute, Assistant TO the head coach?

@dunkindonuts what happened to the glazed stick?

@WillBrinson It will cost +$40mm/yr and two draft picks. Maybe teams are more interested in rolling the dice with more cost controlled prospects.

Not one single NFL team even wants to TRY and acquire 26-year-old former MVP Lamar Jackson????? Super weird!!!!! cbssports.com/nfl/news/no-nf…

@billbarnwell is McKinnon sliding for sure the right play? It seems weird that scoring at any time could ever hurt your win probability.

@HipHopArch @ACEMentorBoston

@tomecurran Need to ask if it was conveyed to them in the huddle to NOT do that in a tie game?

Feels like that was a bad idea. TBH

@barstoolsports Guy needs to invest in the synthetic oil…cut that oil change number by more than half

@nationalgridus what is the phone number I need to call to ask about moving a gas meter in Brookline, MA?

@Ria_Martin @BarstoolBigCat that you?

Is this man smelling a diaper behind me on live tv? You bet he is.

@datageneralist @NY_Rangers1024 @ayeedayy @ScoreInvestor @theScoreBet @theScore based on the career page of their website, they are trying

@NY_Rangers1024 @ayeedayy @ScoreInvestor @theScoreBet @theScore Wow. That would be incredible. They really need to ramp up hiring and implement some of these obvious improvements.

$MS' bull case for $SCR stands at USD $68 which accounts for only 1.5%.0.75% sports betting / iGaming share in the US, and 15%/7.5% in Canada Their bear case sits at USD $5 based on the acquisition price of The Action Network.

@ScroogeMcBux I’d actually be averaging up if I buy now, which is why I’ve been looking at different options scenarios

@SlamWilliams With this being said in a situation like $SCR you have two choices. If you can afford to sit on the money you can buy calls and shares and average down when it dips. If you can’t sit on the money you wait until right before the next catalyst to buy in.

If you’re just buying $SCR calls without buying shares you are doing it wrong. Ya filthy animal.

@ScoreInvestor My options would prefer it happened by Dec 17 😂

@SlamWilliams 12 months

Credit Suisse $CS coins $SCR THE KING IN THE NORTH while the legalization of SESB in Canada will also benefit companies like $DKNG $PENN $MGM Ontario is a larger market than any other US state with private operators & will provide a cash flow engine to allow SCR to grow in the US

@ScoreInvestor What is the time frame on that target price?

They also reiterated their target price of USD $50
