In this article they make a big deal out of the fact that he's the only shareholder. (him, and his family.) He seems very proud of providing good jobs for the people that work there, but he hasn't shared much of anything. And now he is going to be a gazillionaire. Does sharing equity even matter?? Are all of these games with equity compensation and stock options and restricted stock units and everything else actually just a waste? Do we have real solid evidence that sharing ownership of the company really does boost long term performance?? This guy hasn't shared much of anything and it seems to be working out great.....for him. #equity #stockoptions #equitycompensation #entrepreneurship

Thank you Phil for sharing. In light of the recent news about the sale of the federal helium system in the United States, it's pivotal to discuss not just the transaction itself, but the broader implications it has on markets, both domestic and global. Helium, far beyond its familiar role in lifting balloons, plays a crucial role in various critical industries—from space exploration and border security to advanced manufacturing and scientific research. The presence of about 6 billion cubic feet of helium in the Bush Dome underlines not just its abundance but its strategic importance. The decision to sell this vital resource brings to the forefront discussions about the balance between public and private sector management of essential commodities. Helium's unique properties—its non-reactiveness and non-combustibility—make it indispensable in high-risk and high-tech operations. This transition could signal a shift in how we value and manage resources critical to national security and technological advancement. Pulsar Helium Inc. #helium

When David Otte and I became friends we had just learned how to ride bikes. He was the thoughtful one, I was the erratic one. He grew up to raise a Marine and I grew up to raise a Nashville touring musician. He built a couple successful companies and I'm still trying to figure out this thing called amortization. After his very early retirement, he joined my brother and me a decade ago to bring rationality and QAQC to our flagship report, the Oilfield Market Report. My work was getting sloppier each year and I needed to be replaced. His mandate: Determine the quarterly product line revenues of every oilfield service company on the planet and forecast them accurately. Otte gets better every year, aging like a fine Cabernet. With today's earnings release from Halliburton (and like last week's SLB release) we see his accuracy is around 99.2%. And HAL releases 2 numbers - drilling & completion - while Otte releases 96 product line estimates/forecasts throughout the year. The table below is his full work for 2023 for Halliburton. Clients of Spears & Associates have had these numbers for a very long time already. David has them forecasted by quarter for several years into the future. If you are not already, you should consider becoming a client of our firm: https://lnkd.in/eUditvuk

The Power of Networking - It's not all about YOU! 🚪Networking is a valuable professional skill that can help advance one's career in meaningful ways. Connecting and building relationships with others in one's industry or field provides opportunities to collaborate, assist one another, stay informed of new developments and openings, and support each other's work. When done respectfully and authentically, networking helps foster goodwill and can open doors that otherwise may have remained closed. 👏🏼Rather than view it as an uncomfortable obligation or a way to primarily promote oneself, it is best to approach networking with an attitude of giving first. Reach out to others not just to request assistance but to provide insight, introduce people who may benefit from meeting each other, share information of interest without expecting anything in return. This builds trust over time, as people come to see one as reliable and helpful rather than self-serving. Quality connections formed through genuine engagement and showing interest in how one can help others will often lead to unforeseen advantages down the road. 💪🏽While networking requires effort, the rewards can be highly valuable for career progression as well as personal and professional fulfillment. Maintaining important relationships takes ongoing care and communication. When done right, networking elevates all participants and strengthens the connections between people. Thank you to Load Monitoring Systems, Sinclair Bay Subsea Limited and the many many others that helped make Offshore Technology Conference (OTC)'24 week, a valuable one, we can't wait for next year!!

Throughout the last month, I've been digging deep into the under-appreciated rail freight market in central NJ and couldn't be happier than to have C&D as my first client. After leading an initial business development kickoff with their management team, we discovered several existing customers were receiving trucked commodities that make perfect sense to be on rail. A more granular analysis was needed to uncover the low-hanging fruit to target. Available space is also at a premium in the Northeast, particularly along rail corridors, but we are identifying new sites to prep for projects that need to be within the massive NYC/NJ/PHL consumption zone.
