Damn, SENZA! Now Starbucks and Pepsi have jumped on the bandwagon and have suspended business in Russia.

SENZA, you may have started something. And now Coca Cola Suspends Business In Russia. Hours after McDonald’s announced plans to shutter every restaurant in Russia, Coca Cola followed suit, announcing on Tuesday that the company would no longer sell its products in the country, according to Bloomberg.

That’s Great News Rich,

Yeah, Sir Kaiser, as I just mentioned to Major D, the penny is now worth over 3 times its face value! As of today’s (3/8/22) current circulating coin values, the penny (cent) Melt Value is 3.1 cents with a Metal % of Face Value = 311%. Time to bust open the coin jars and empty those jugs (and fire-up the furnace [not]).

Mickey D just closed their 850 food joints in Russia today nearly 2 weeks after the invasion. Their food may be fast but their pulling out wasn’t fast enough.

Canadian 5 cents were 100% nickel when I lived there in the ’70s. I still have some. My oldest is 1937 when the beaver design was first introduced. Now Canadian 5 cents are nickel plated steel. That’s an option the mint could take.

Major D, the explosive, parabolic rise in nickel prices continues today with Nickel Halted After Historic 250% Surge – here is the latest update: Commodity trading houses and hedging producers are being forced out of their short nickel bets adding to an unprecedented short squeeze that had sent nickel prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) up as much as 250% in two trading days above $100k per ton, before the exchange issued an unprecedented trading suspension on Tuesday morning.
FYI, by today’s current melt value, a penny is worth 3 cents.
