"Profitability and returning cash to shareholders have finally gained the upper hand over volume growth for the sake of volume growth." The companies I am involved with seem to be focused on returning cash and avoiding production growth, so glad to hear this seems to be generally the case.

During the huge run up in late 2022, several people were telling me to take what I had off the table and wait out the coming rate hike cycle. Because I'm a glutton for punishment I told them I was going to tough it out, after all, who needs a peaceful, stable, life anyway?
