… for farming, and having a daughter in FFA? Where do you think your gyros come from?
Dude just deployed 4,000 troops on top of 5,000 personnel in a carrier to a little island thats akin to a FFA map on CoD after saying that
Who is going to stop them? It's FFA once Trump takes Cuba,
I actually ran the split: pre-2020 (2018-2019) is 11 trades at 63.6% WR and +4.8% avg return. Post-2020 (2020-2026) is 31 trades at 74.2% WR and +7.5% avg. So the edge is actually stronger in the later period, not weaker. 2018 specifically was rough total 5 trades, 40% WR. That's the first year BDRY existed and the signal was likely noisy. But 2019 onward every year except 2024 has been above 60% WR. On roll costs BDRY is only used as the signal trigger, not traded. I am buying GNK, not BDRY. So the AUM and roll drag don't affect execution , I just need BDRY to directionally reflect freight futures, which it does since it holds near-term FFA contracts directly.
OTLK, FFA non-approval, this ia going to tank
Okay but if we start bombing Venezuela then who am I going to Nex FFA with?
> Fusion power startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems has raised $863 million from a long list of investors that includes Nvidia, Google, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and more. > “We’re continuing our trend here of looking into the world and saying, ‘How do we advance fusion as fast as possible?’” co-founder and CEO Bob Mumgaard told reporters in a call this week. “This round of capital isn’t just about fusion just generally as a concept, but it’s about how do we go to make fusion into a commercial industrial endeavor.” > The Massachusetts-based company has raised nearly $3 billion to date, the most of any fusion startup. Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) previously raised a $1.8 billion round in 2021. > Fusion power has long been promised as a nearly limitless energy source, though it wasn’t until recently that investors considered it a bet worth placing. As advances in computing and AI have quickened the pace of research and development, the sector has become a hotbed of startup and investor activity. > Inside a fusion reaction, atoms are compressed and heated until they form a fourth state of matter known as plasma. When the plasma reaches the right temperature and pressure, those atoms begin to fuse, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in the process. > CFS is currently building a prototype reactor called Sparc in a Boston suburb. The company expects to turn that device on later next year and achieve scientific breakeven in 2027, a milestone in which the fusion reaction produces more energy than was required to ignite it. > Though Sparc isn’t designed to sell power to the grid, it’s still vital to CFS’s success. > “There are parts of the modeling and the physics that we don’t yet understand,” Saskia Mordijck, an associate professor of physics at the College of William and Mary, told TechCrunch. “It’s always an open question when you turn on a completely new device that it might go into plasma regimes we’ve never been into, that maybe we uncover things that we just did not expect.” > Assuming Sparc doesn’t reveal any major problems, CFS expects to begin construction on Arc, its commercial-scale power plant, in Virginia starting in 2027 or 2028. > The Sparc and Arc designs are both tokamaks, a type of fusion reactor that uses powerful superconducting magnets to confine and compress plasma. Tokamaks are well known among the research community. > “We know that this kind of idea should work,” Mordijck said. “The question is naturally, how will it perform?” > Investors appear to like what they’ve seen so far. The list of participants in the Series B2 round is lengthy. No single investor led the round, and a number of existing investors increased their stakes, said Ally Yost, CFS’s senior vice president of corporate development. > Existing investors that increased their stakes include Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Emerson Collective, Eni, Future Ventures, Gates Frontier, Google, Hostplus, Khosla Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, Safar Partners, Eric Schmidt, Starlight Ventures, and Tiger Global. > The new investors include Brevan Howard, Morgan Stanley’s Counterpoint Global, Stanley Druckenmiller, FFA Private Bank in Dubai, Galaxy Interactive, Gigascale Capital, HOF Capital, Neva SGR, Nvidia’s NVentures, Planet First Partners, Woori Venture Partners US, and a consortium of 12 Japanese companies led by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation. > Such a broad base of investors may prove helpful as the company develops its supply chain and searches for partners to build its power plants and buy electricity from them. So far, the company has inked a deal with Google to buy 200 megawatts from Arc. > As the first of its kind, Arc is likely to cost more than subsequent power plants, Mordijck said. > And while Sparc will help prove the science is sound, it will do more than that for CFS, Mumgaard told TechCrunch. “That’s very important. But it’s also to know the capabilities that you need to be able to deliver it. It’s also to have the receipts, know what these things cost.” > The new round will help CFS make progress on Sparc, but it will not be enough to build Arc, which will likely cost several billion dollars, Mumgaard said. At this point, the company doesn’t know exactly what shape the funding for Arc will take. > “The fact that it’s a first of a kind technology is a wrinkle that then has a big impact on where the capital will come from,” he said. “We’re not entirely sure, but we are pretty committed to doing this. And our investors are pretty committed to doing this.”
Really though the cost estimates can only account PA fees and FFA spot prices. Unless you have their COAs there’s no real way to know. I haven’t looked but a better way may be just to compare yoy expenses in their 10-Qs divided by the tons ore production and if operating margins are going up or down. It really doesn’t make any difference knowing how they’re hustling shipping contracts to save a dollar or not.
Isn't US on the same side as Russia? Should be US+RU+NK vs UKR + EU vs Iran vs Israel. Fucking FFA
What I’ve learned is we don’t have enough air traffic controllers, they gutted the FFA and the economy is in precarious hands. So no, we aren’t planning any air travel in the near future.
We’ve always had child labor in Florida , especially in the agricultural communities.. I’m Gen x and me and a lot of my friends grew up bailing hay, working cows, picking and boxing fern and working in nurseries. It’s how the FFA and 4h kids made money if they didn’t want to work at publix or fast food.
this guy will take over Verizon over the FFA with Starlink for a few billions dollars after a few accident right after been on power position. he is attacking a lot the defense budget, so he will take another few billions in another government contract making some bullshit tesla dron with some guns incorporated . And only 2 months go by so far. Who know how many other governments contracts he will get in the 4 years , 10 months left. We see what he attack next, and for sure is because he will sell something he can build to the government .
one of my super cheap long shots RONN has a interesting PR on stock titan today, might be worth throwing in a coupe bucks. FFA, DD [https://www.stocktitan.net/news/RONN/ronn-inc-jv-partner-hes-secures-mega-project-agreement-in-south-olvh1654fviu.html](https://www.stocktitan.net/news/RONN/ronn-inc-jv-partner-hes-secures-mega-project-agreement-in-south-olvh1654fviu.html)
So with the fired FFA people, puts on airlines and calls on BA (due to higher demand for replacement planes)?
So what about HOVR makes you think it can’t accomplish the same thing in highly congested areas? They can land in either a runway or on a tennis court with fan assist. BUT… I see them as a good option for private pilot ownership. The design, seems to have an easier learning curve for flight, opening up more private pilot use. Helicopters have a huge learning curve for private pilots. Because of that safety is lacking. HOVR is based in Canada. They have a lot of rural pilots there. I honestly don’t see a major push for private pilot use in congested areas. I see its use in more rural areas being privately owned aircrafts. In congested areas a dedicated pilot, emergency response and businesses is more of the market. Which is why I think JOBY has a bigger market than ACHR. My FIL was a private pilot who owned a Beechcraft bonanza. He would travel from Santa Barbara to SLO weekly for breakfast. But even when he was flying regularly (now he is 92) he didn’t enjoy flying into Palo Alto airport to visit my parents. The congestion there was insane with SFO, SJC and OAK. I can’t imagine it now almost 20 years later. He flew with a volunteer doctors group headed to rural Mexico, flew sheriffs to Sacramento etc… He was a very accomplished pilot. If you’ve ever been asked to check for traffic that is around you and descending…but not squawking… yeah. I don’t see anyone but professional pilots in these in congested areas. FFA will have a lot to say about the increased traffic and requirements for towers and hand off. It’s been fun looking over that information too.
What we all need is a massive net defense system. Fuck mesh networks, you can hack that. Need some good ole fashion nets. Low key, seeing MQ - 9 reapers take off in person, they are terrifying. But the biggest threat is how cheap consumer drones have gotten and how good 5g is. DJI sells popular models that don't even need to be registered with the FFA. Curious to see how long that lasts.
It's been 5 hours without Fortnite, I can’t stop shaking and I’m having severe mental breakdowns. I woke up today trying to log onto Fortnite but the servers were down, I had a major panic attack but managed to calm down after a few hours. I couldn’t go to school today, I am so worried that I even took my dad's gun from the shed, thinking of killing myself. I am nothing without Fortnite, it is my life, it is my destiny, without Fortnite, I wouldn't be able to do anything. Fortnite is the best thing ever made and I can't get rid of my addiction to it, it is the best game in existence. I can't stop trembling and crying, I am very worried. I can't reach 20 kills in un-filled squads. I can't play FFA box fights, I am trembling more than the marleyans experienced when the rumbling was around. Shivering in fear of losing my progress at my weekly missions. I am so scared that I might lose my mind and go insane. I want Fortnite back.
Do you already own it? Does it have water supply or other utilities? Family garden to feed yourself is probably best return. Market garden maybe. Might see if there is a local FFA or 4H with youngsters that need some land. Just donating use of land to them will probably help fill your freezer and pantry if they do well.
I think you misunderstood. I said, the FFA has not granted flights or SFAR certification for any eVTOL in the U.S. to date. As such, Archer and Joby are seeking to have passenger flights as quickly as possible and will do so in the UAE if approved to. If this occurs, it will add tremendous safety data for the U.S. FAA certification process for in U.S. flights.
This is the way. Diabetes and weight loss drugs for all the FFA eating Cheesecake Factory.
Great, the other points still stand. Come back when your country isn’t a FFA GTA lobby.
They’ve talked about this for years. I believe it was the FFA who put the kibosh on the design. There isn’t CURRENTLY a way to pack more folks on that aircraft and accommodate rapid evacuation… thank god for it. Southwest has been on a race to the bottom against spirit airlines in recent years from a customer service perspective. I can’t imagine they’ve found a revolutionary way to make more money without further degrading the user experience. Couple that with inflationary pressures tightening purse strings. I’m bearish.
Nah clearly theyre into a little FFA action
>Wasn't snap also the first to come up with innovative ideas like Stories? Which then zuck copied shamelessly and kept Instagram relevant.. Thats the game, if theres no IP wright on it, then its a FFA. consumers gonna consume how they want and if business doesnt meet it, it dies.
because the FFA Allows them to continue fucking up?
Ok so what’s it worth? Show your work FFA
Why not do a FFA cage match and throw in Bezos?
FFA. I know Im going to kick myself. I bought ELF and AMD to start long positions. Looking at CAT by Thursday. Also added to SPY. I dont like money this year.
Board meeting on the FFA approval process. Should be early next week
I did horse judging one time in a high school FFA contest and the girl on our team who did the best said she just ranked them by penis size.
1) I get timeline concerns 2) a routine investigation is "up his ass"? The FFA were completely aware it would break up. 3) Rebuilding the launch site is of minimal concern.
Is this now FFA between Russia, Wagner and Ukraine?
They ran it Juarez and Baltimore. There is no reason for a drone to do it instead in the only fixed wing drone FFA cleared to do so. Management is criminal.
MCRB seres therapeutics. Got FFA approval today & went down a buck. Did a 250 million finance no dilution. Read about it if you're interested I think 12 to 14 near future.

*results may vary. Do not take recessions if you are breastfeeding, have type I diabetes, or are on average inhibitors. Pending the release of information that was attempted to be hidden for 75 years, the FFA may reverse their stance on recessions at any time.
Currently its FFA battle right now, everyone is building their 4x4 bases, and fire caught on their wood buildings and its collapsing.
Yeah sure and the FFA is great and all but couldn’t they be a little easier on the pilots and ctrl tower workers - all those rules make it so complicated
Everyone dose. Untill the SEC steps up its a FFA.

Wake up. Eat peanut butter and honey sandwich. Drink coffee, place 4th in my call of duty FFA match. Take a fat shit. Browse option chains, planning on how going to spend my $700 to get a modest 20% gain today. 9:34 hits, FOMO into AMD 130 5/20. Sit back and relax: +17%, my limit order is almost filled. Russia invades Ukraine. CPI leaked early, its over 12%. Biden is still sleeping. Circuit breakers are triggered. Wife drops off divorce papers. Car won’t start, can’t get to work. Wendy’s assistant managers calls me and says “sorry, this isn’t going to work.” Watching my AMD 130 5/20 drop 57%. Yet I still have a smile on my face because at least I didn’t place 5th in my CoD match 🥰

Got bumped up to business class on an international flight once. I cleared 3/4th a bottle of Jameson in the lounge and remained incredibly polite throughout the entire process, including when they declined to serve me on the plane until we were in the air -- which I did not know was a rule. On another international flight when I was a student, I think I consumed 12 or 13 beers with my fellow students being similarly drunk. Again, polite the entire time -- so polite that one of the flight attendants showed up randomly and was like "Oh, I found these kind of beer in the galley and thought you guys might like to try it." Ain't nothing wrong with drunk people on planes. Drunk assholes are the problem -- sober assholes are less likely to cause a problem. I've been on a flight that I was expecting to get grounded/severely delayed because one specific group brought their own booze to openly consume on the plane, instead of politely ingesting their booze in accordance with FFA regulations. If you're going to be a drunk, one should aspire to be a professional drinker which as been a thing long enough for Plutarch to describe Marc Antony as one.

FFA rates have dropped recently leaving most big money players hesitant.
The kryptonite in the capesize forward freight agreement (FFA) market is the relatively large volumes of call options that have been struck in the last couple of weeks at prices between $27,000 and $35,000 per day for November and December contracts.These were likely bought early in the year, when there was a more bullish outlook to the market — all of which changed around a month ago, when concerns surrounding China's economy and commodity demand intensified. If the market moves below these levels, this exposes the sellers of those calls to the downside. And during the day's trading on Tuesday, it seemed as though the moment had come. Bidding for November contracts was at $29,800 per day and for December contracts was around $26,500 per day. One trader likened the potential downside squeeze to the GameStop short squeeze "but in reverse", referring to the extraordinary 1,500% increase in the retailer's share price during two weeks in January. Now FFA traders are worried that hedging this exposure could create even more wild moves in the paper market. "The potential for extreme volatility in cape FFAs is there, as the volume of open option strikes sitting 15-30% below the current market could create hedging trade flow above and beyond the liquidity available in the futures market," one trader told TradeWinds. "A lot of fresh puts were traded over the past six weeks." In the physical market on Tuesday, Baltic Exchange panellists assessed the 5TC average capesize spot rate $3,965 lower at $43,985 per day. Philippe van den Abeele, chief investment officer of Consortium Maritime Trading Ltd, sees a critical threshold approaching. Looking at the derivatives market from a technical point of view, the capesize spot market has maintained a resistance line of around $38,000 per day over the past 10 or 12 years, he explained. In other words: "Every time we've reached that \[level\] over the past 10 years, capes tended to turn south with prices dropping quite consistently for the next three to four weeks." An exception came in July, when the capesize 5TC assessment broke through the $38,000 level and kept on going until it reached the multi-year high of $86,870 per day on 6 October, van den Abeele noted. "I'm not saying I think it will happen, but I'm watching it like a hawk because I am convinced that if it breaks $38,000 \[per day\] convincingly on the downside then you will see a fresh bunch of sellers coming in to the FFA market," he added. "The possibility of bouncing higher from that level is equally feasible as we have reached a pivotal level in the recent cape freight pricing rollercoaster, as dry bulk prices tend to be mean-reverting over time." Acceleration There is a psychological element to this potential watershed too, van den Abeele said."Just imagine, until three or four weeks ago the majority of the people out there held long cape positions for December delivery or at least til the end of November, believing that the Chinese congestion combined with exuberant Chinese steel production was going to last until then," he said. "When that crowd realises 'Oh, it's not going to happen', it's like you're going through a funnel — they all want to get to the exit but the door is very small for everyone to go through it." Once the market decides to sell, everything tends to accelerate, he explained. "Shipowners start to panic in the physical market, the FFA market also panics, therefore the shipowners see the FFAs go down and it goes faster and faster," he went on. "That's why we have this massive drop — because the equilibrium at which you reach $86,000 per day is fragile, very fragile," he said, referring to the spot market's zenith. This acceleration effect was visible in the FFA market last week, according to Kerry Deal, head of business development at Freight Investor Services."The fall in capes \[last\] week was admittedly steeper than some expected, with a storm of bad news driving sentiment lower on the paper, which included further issues at Evergrande, concerns on further Chinese steel production curbs, and Vale trimming down \[fourth-quarter\] production guidance against falling iron ore prices," Deal told TradeWinds. Sorry for the block text but this will give you an insight on why FFAs died.
You can make gainz without playing in wild west. This is not gambling, its FFA
The Midwest tradition of buying a box of fucking 25 pears from your co-worker's FFA kid...
SPCE - haha smart “Branson sold 800M in stock before investors knew about FFA” wish I could do that and FTC looks away.
I’m a little confused. If you see potential FFA approval within the next 1-2 months, why buy call options expiring next week? Can someone please help me out here.
They’re going to need to sell something to survive, because they really haven’t been selling much in the way of vans. Their patents also mean jackshit if they aren’t needed by anyone. Dominos is piloting an automated delivery bot FFA.
Wow, these are both good informative links FFA. I appreciate it! The Ben Felix video is both so counterintuitive, yet mathematically I see where he is coming from. The one about Ark is also somewhat of a "reality reset," it's helping me reconsider some things. Out of curiosity, would you consider yourself a value investor, growth investor, both/neither? I think these kinds of things make one naturally migrate more to value. But is emphasizing value and abandoning growth leading to a less balanced investing approach?
Blue origin and SpaceX both have had FFA approval for the past 5-10 years
Ya pretty sure its an announcement coordinated pump n dump, FFA announcement at like 4am and institutional pump it what like 30% premarket? Retail fomos all day and everyone who missed out gets weekend boners for another small retail bump monday ..then hedgies short and dump in the afternoon. Puts on this shit monday imo.
SPCE received FFA approval to the moon
Yada yada yada ok I'll buy 100k FFA!
It's not a team game! this aint TDM, its FFA

It was higher on hype, now that a tangible product is present and validation of the technology continues, it is time to buy because 3 more successful test flight should send this to roughly $90-$100/share based on market euphoria alone. Should crater a little after the last flight and FFA approval before going orbit with commerical flights in January 2022
It’s a company, with absolutely no profits, no foreseeable profits until 2022 at the earliest, no FFA clearance, a 400k per price trip price point, and the chairman sold his majority stake. And I own some.
It’s FFA, do what makes u few good.
Holy shit BDRY is about to gap up so hard this morning 🥵🥵🥵 Freight futures popping OFF #Capesize Jun FFA +10% to $45k/d #Panamax Jun FFA +4% to $27k/d #Supramax Jun FFA +3% to $27k/d 🚢🚢🚢🚢🚢
$CTXR, phase 3 is coming up, was fast tracked by the FFA, analysts predict $4 to $8 price target (currently trading in the $2.30s) and the management is very successful and invested in it. You can find a lot of good DDs on reddit.
Do they have the rights to distribute a non FFA approved drug in Canada?
That should be a class like FFA. FDHA!!!
Millions haven't had JNJ,'s retard. You really ought to read 21 US Code (part of the US Constitution, if you don't know). I don't trust any gov agency, but NONE of these "vaccines" are FFA approved. No one. You also ought to do some DD on all of them. Its in your best interest.
Fair assessment but APPH has formed deep connections in KY and both local/state governments are committed to helping them expand. Their overhead and risk is much smaller in comparison as a result of the support they have garnered. APPH is even expanding into KY high schools through their FFA programs and helping them build out vert farming facilities.
I'm still remaining in position on my view of it (which is long term) but i apricate your input on the subject. There's a fair amount of growth room for improvement which is reflected in other drone related sectors (in terms of a higher weight capacity up to 440Lbs) , its more so a legal limiting factor currently with the FFA and CAA wanting more proof of safety. And i agree in the states where the majority of your guys fields are fairly large blocks i get the view of it'll never work but in the UK where field sizes are 12-19ac and spread over 30/40 mile radius most UK farmers currently certainly have a different view on it, and the uses. But yes there's defiantly a promising future for mapping/data collection
No doubt, volume is currently by far the factor which is preventing it being rolled out so to speak as 5gal is relatively nothing. How ever I suspect in the UK we will be seeing it far sooner with the average size of a field only being around 12-19ac with fields dotted on average over a 40mile radius from the main yard for arable operations. Biggest factor for the capacity limit currently isn’t the drones there self as company’s such as ‘Xfoldrig’ produce a drone capable of carrying 440lbs of weight but is instead due to the FFA and CAA limiting the capacity until there’s been more data to be able to give it a further safety go ahead for larger License simply as it’s a relatively new concept I do completely agree though that at this very moment boom/bar spraying is the best and pretty much only commercial/instantly available choice. I do think it will take a bit of time to be seen In the states based of the field size difference alone, but with companies such as Fendt looking at implementing a similar trailed docking and refilling system for drones utilising basically a drone version of green star like there Xaver units and drone manufacturers already developing high capacity drones. I don’t think it’ll take 10-15 years as tech like this always seems to snowball in speed of development. In the UK at least the expectation is to start seeing it more within the year and then a pretty commonly used set up within the next 3-4 years
Elon said that Bill Gates lost a shitload of money trying to go short on Tesla. They don’t really get along. Get your popcorn ready, and watch a future titanic fight between Gates and Musk. Bill Gates has already used his pull with the FFA for environmental protection to slow down Musk from testing his rocket engines in Texas.
They said they were in close communications with FFA and that it would come within a few months (back in October/November I think). So I suspect we’ll hear something in March, or April at the latest.
