The PMOBUYALL is a bit interesting this morning. Good luck out there!

You caught me with a bored moment... Article

Thanks for sharing. 

I'd love to see the TS workspace as well. I have been adding an ES renko window to try and shore up some of the logic in one of my automated strategies. Thanks again for all the work you guys put into the site and systems. -Lee

Thanks. I use TS and TD for my main accounts, but I do like that lay out.

I'm sure you've said this, but I've slept and had a few drinks since then. Which platform are you using in this screen shot?

Great idea, and looks like a good mock up. you might add the date the stock was added to the story stock list

Any good soy products to short? I would expect some retaliation, aka trade war, from china.

Don't forget about seasonality and fundamentals when playing NG. We are in a wicked time of year for the instrument due to  weather forecast volatility

you're so punny

Unimin to buy shale sand supplier Fairmount in cash-and-stock deal  - Reuters News

12-Dec-2017 09:19:33 AM

HOUSTON, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Fairmount Santrol Holdings Inc FMSA.Nsaid on Tuesday it would sell itself to Unimin Corp in a cash-and-stock deal to create one of the largest suppliers of sand for use in hydraulic fracturing to shale oil and gas producers.

The deal, which is expected to close by the middle of next year, will create a company with about $2 billion in annual revenue and will supply more than 45 million tons of sand annually. The new company will also supply industrial coatings.

Sand, known as proppant in the oil industry, is used as part of the fracking process to hold open tiny cracks in shale rock in order to allow hydrocarbon molecules to escape. Oil companies typically shop for various shapes and sizes of sand to suit their geology. That has made the sand industry appealing to investors in recent years.

"Together we will serve our customers more efficiently and effectively with a broader and more diverse product offering, greater technical expertise, improved scale and geographic diversity and an expanded logistics platform," Fairmount Chief Executive Jenniffer Deckard said in a statement.

Deckard is expected to be CEO of the new company, which has not yet been named.

Fairmount shareholders will receive $170 million in cash and own about 35 percent of the new company after the deal closes. Unimin, a division of Belgium-based SCR-Sibelco NV, will own the rest.

Shares of Fairmount rose 4.6 percent to $5.27 after the deal was announced.

Unimin received financing from Barclays Bank BARC.Land BNP Paribas for the deal.

If my memory is correct... HCLP is liked by goldman and FMSA is not. 

The good old days for sure. I still have memories of using a TRS-80 my parents bought me when I was in first or second grade. Thanks for the idea!

Yes, a happy belated birthday Steve. Great newsletters tonight

Off topic question. Anybody have a good reference to start educating kids on the markets? I have always been interested, heck  I remember reading the stock quotes in the Everett Herald when I was a kid, but not sure how to inspire my kids. I'm open to any and all good ideas. With an 11, 5, and 2 year old I have lots of time to make mistakes in educating them.

December 18th and her's a link to the announcement.   http://www.cmegroup.com/media-room/press-releases/2017/12/01/cme_group_self-certifiesbitcoinfuturestolaunchdec18.html

TD Ameritrade is a pretty good overall broker (and back a few years ago I used them for futures), but it really depends on what you're looking for. I use Tradestation for futures, but I have also heard good things about IB. 

There are some extensions for Opera and Chrome (and I'd assume Microsoft Edge) that auto refresh every so often.

thanks... 

Thanks. Do you recall which report this was in? I'll try and pull the whole report when I get back to the office and see what else they post.
