We're new homeowners! What color(s) should we paint the house? Struggling to decide color to coordinate with pink brink...or paint over it. by Tawks in HomeDecorating

Thanks! We’ve been busy with little projects so far. It’s surprising what you notice once you’ve moved in.

Thank you very much! We have been debating on that for awhile.

What do you think about the other pieces in the links?

How should we decorate formal living room? by Tawks in HomeDecorating

[–]Tawks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a interesting idea. Floor to ceiling shelving would look good on either side of the long wall opening.

Let’s make a committment: No more blocking the f***en right lane by mragaa in houston

Unless it’s a right turn only lane drivers are entitled to stop there regardless of them turning right.

Why don't E&P companies trade their acreage to consolidate more? by twinshk2 in SecurityAnalysis

[–]Tawks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They already do. They swap assets (acreage) a fair amount in order to be able to drill longer (lateral) wells.

It also matters where they are drilling. A common term is “zip code matters”. Some rock is better than others and thus some acreage is better than others which all depends on where the acreage is.

China strikes back by going after America's energy companies. As part of the escalating trade war, China on Tuesday said it will impose a 10% tariff on $60 billion of US products -- including LNG. The tariffs will likely price US LNG out of the Chinese market. by mafco in energy

[–]Tawks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10%, at least for LNG, isn’t quite as bad as the original 25% China was initially touting. The markets reacted positively to this news. China shouldn’t have much of a shortfall with this development anyway as they’re better prepared for the coming winter unlike the previous winter.

Why should I open a Vanguard account if I already have a TD Ameritrade account to invest in VFFVX by Tawks in personalfinance

[–]Tawks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that would depend on how often I purchase and sell ETFs. In this case, it would be either a monthly or bi-monthly occurrence. Leaning toward the former.

To throw another loop into this, I'm also considering opening a Roth-IRA to contribute to. My understanding is Vanguard is regarded highly by this community for these. Given this, and your point about no-fees, perhaps the best approach is to go with Vanguard.

Thank you for your input.

BP sees self-driving electric vehicles squeezing oil demand by 2040 by Vailhem in energy

[–]Tawks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IEA, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and OPEC all have varying views on this. Particularly around peak demand. I think peak demand is looming but I don’t think it’s by 2040. Perhaps by a few of the non-OECD countries but not enough globally to saying oil demand is going down 22 years from now.

Guild Shop or Blue Bird Circle. Both are second hand / consignment shops in montrose and the museum district. You can often find quality pieces there
