A (Little) Deal With The Devil

The diesel supply agreement with Russia is a very very temporary respite (though a great headline and discussion point in the business media!!) to a difficult demand/supply situation that must have other resolutions to be lasting.

By my estimates the diesel agreement is less than two days usage for the U.S. — it is a Band-Aid.

The immediate response was for about a 4% decline in the price of diesel.

I am expanding my shorts on the news.

About That New iPhone…

There is currently a discussion on CNBC regarding the value and ultimate demand for the new Apple ($AAPL) iPhone offering.

As I mentioned previously there are not enough changes to rationalize the $1,800 purchase, imho.

And I have a new one, so I can testify to this!
