I missed US Steel on the way up, but there may be a bit of volatility in its future.

    1. Let’s just make this way easier for everyone…
      – The TLDR: Harris wants US Steel (X) to be a US company
      – This has ramifications for the Nippon Steel offer to buy US Steel which now has a higher chance of being blocked
      – The real discussion then is if blocked: What’s next? Who wins? Think about the other US domestic steel players and what happens with them

      And no, “X” in this case is not the 🐦

      Most logical outcome is that the deal falls through, stock drops, and then a US company acquires it for a comparable price/share (this all occuring over a year or longer).

    3. It’s already priced for no acquisition. They were offered $42 a share just for their Big River asset. The company can be broken up and sold, a joint venture, or somebody else buys them. There is no actionable news here.

      Who’s got puts on twitter they can sell me. My wife’s boyfriends lover can meet you behind Wendy’s to hash out the price.

    5. A Presidential candidate says whatever they need to in order to push votes their way in a swing state?!?
