Fired but the defense Budget didn’t drop. It increased for 5 years consecutively. Wouldn’t wanna be caught up by China. :s12:

The point is, whether they do war isn’t as important as whether they prepared for it. The preparation is the one that keep them rising. If war comes, it’s a bonus.

profit frm war chek ark leh.
but military traditionally has the largest budget and are at the frontrunners of tech. not just America.

Why The Old Rules On Interest Rates No Longer Apply
October 18th, 2019

Here we are: 10 years into the recovery in another Fed rate-cutting cycle. Historically, this cycle has usually accompanied a slowing economy. The Fed typically cuts rates to stimulate the economy and pull the country out of recession, or in rare cases fend one off. But it might be different this time.

This time is different they say :s22:

People fret about the recent yield curve inversion, where long-term interest rates fell below short-term rates. Historically, such a phenomenon has been reliably indicative of a slowing economy and the end of the recovery. But that’s when interest rates were a clear reflection of free market forces. Those days are over.

talk so much but like no conclusion.


but, this is same with other paid subscriptions and financial courses.
u pay a lot at the end they still no tell u exactly wht it is abt.
:s13:

why pay thousands to those financial course conmen?:s13:

recent years dividends seems to come out from higher payout ratios and higher debts.
maybe not quality dividends. would monitor few more quarters to see.

Notwithstanding this challenge, we generated record third quarter operating and unit revenues; solid margins; strong cash flows and returns to Shareholders; and a healthy profitsharing accrual for our Employees. I am extremely grateful to our People for their unwavering commitment to the highest levels of Customer Service, and applaud them for one of the best third quarter operational performances in our history.

Norfolk Southern (NSC) Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates, Rise Y/Y
October 23, 2019

NSC third-quarter 2019 earnings (excluding 9 cents from non-recurring items) of $2.58 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Moreover, the bottom line improved 2.4% on a year-over-year basis owing to lower costs.

Railway operating revenues in the quarter under review came in at $2,841 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,839.1 million. However, the top line declined approximately 4% year over year due to disappointing revenues at the coal and intermodal units. Overall volumes decreased 6%.

The sluggish volumes and the year-over-year revenue fall displeased investors. Consequently, shares of the company were down in early trading.

Alaska Air Group reports third quarter 2019 results
Oct. 24, 2019
Alaska Air Group Inc. today reported third quarter 2019 GAAP net income of $322 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, compared to $217 million, or $1.75 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of merger-related costs and mark-to-market fuel hedge adjustments, the company reported adjusted net income of $326 million, or $2.63 per diluted share, compared to $237 million, or $1.91 per diluted share in 2018.

"Our teams at Alaska, Horizon and McGee delivered industry-leading customer service and operational reliability that helped drive strong third quarter results," said Alaska Air Group CEO Brad Tilden. "Our adjusted pretax profit margin of nearly 18% was 3.6 percentage points higher than last year - fueled by our commitment to keep costs low and by the impressive 8% revenue growth that our commercial team delivered. I want to thank our employees for everything they're doing to make Alaska what we are today - and for helping us shape what we're going to be in the future. They are the best in the industry, and I believe these results demonstrate that."
