I originally had a podcast guest lined up for yesterday, but work roped him in, so he will be coming on next week. There wasn’t anything groundbreaking from Sable Offshore’s $SOC 10-Q, but there were a couple things worth mentioning in there. I also went into a couple other things with oil, and a couple pieces on broader markets that I found interesting.

Podcast Summary

* Thoughts on the 10-Q (nothing earth shattering), mainly that they have enough cash to get things started up without further dilution.

* Why I’m not worried about the 10 day waiting period that comes after OSFM signoff, and some of the nuances there.

* Short interest ticking up at the end of July.

* ZeroHedge: How Oil Production Might Help California Meet Its Environmental Goals

* Ranting on the recent IEA forecast.

* A quick update on Cenovus’ bid for MEG Energy.

* Jorge Arjona’s Thread on Oil (a good Twitter account to follow).

* Thoughts on what assumptions are baked into market valuations

* AI and the massive capex spend, and why I don’t think it will be that much different from previous spending booms.

* Tariffs and the restructuring of the economy, and why economists might need to revisit some of their assumptions.
