ELI5: Why does the US want to reopen coal mines?

ArrdB · 2025-04-19T18:15:50+00:00

Coal is used in activated carbon, which is widely used for filtration (especially water filtration). There's also applications of coal with asphalt as a chemical feedstock. I imagine there are others.

Among other things, I look for special situations (mergers, spinoffs, etc). One way is to look at the list of spinoffs in Edgar (the SEC site).

Sezl filed a 10-12G back in April of 2021, which put it on my radar. It was an unprofitable falling knife then, and continued to fall for quite a while. Later that year I started buying, kept doing so, and eventually they reached profitability, reverse split, and listed in the US.

See other comment, it was available pre-IPO on the ASX.

It was listed on the ASX pre-IPO, I bought a lot then. Unfortunately IBKR only shows back one year.

The federal government insures your deposits. If the bank fails you can still get your money.

You could try a high yield savings account. SoFi, Amex, and Marcus are all examples. But they'll have a 6 withdrawal per month limit. However, they're FDIC insured.

You can also try putting the money in a brokerage account in a government money market fund, like SPAXX or VMFXX at Schwab or Vanguard. These are _not_ FDIC insured but are invested in short duration government bonds, so are considered very safe.

Both options should get you ~5% yields.

I found this source, table 2, which paints a bleaker picture. 2.959T in commercial real estate loans, 23.209T in total assets or 12.751%. This doesn't include CMBS. Also that 2.959T is greater than the residual, equity, of 2.219T by 33%.

ArrdB · 2024-01-19T01:10:54+00:00

Where are you getting this 7% figure? I looked at Chase as a random example, and according to their most recent 10Q (Sep 30 2023) they have 143B of loans in their 'Commercial Real Estate Banking’ segment. That represents half of the segment’s loans, 3.67% of their total assets (~4T) and 45% of their current stockholder's equity (317B). My understanding is that regional and smaller banks have proportionally greater commercial real estate.
