Filmgoers born after 1997 are reviving cinemas’ hopes of survival. They tell us about the social experience where ‘there’s absolutely no commitment to chat’ People born between 1997 and 2012 are now more frequent cinemagoers than some older age groups, according to a US-based survey by Fandango , with 87% having seen at least one film in a cinema in the last 12 months compared with 58% of baby boo...
Filmgoers born after 1997 are reviving cinemas’ hopes of survival. They tell us about the social experience where ‘there’s absolutely no commitment to chat’ People born between 1997 and 2012 are now more frequent cinemagoers than some older age groups, according to a US-based survey by Fandango , with 87% having seen at least one film in a cinema in the last 12 months compared with 58% of baby boomers. With this in mind we asked young people about why they love the cinema. Continue reading...

Cuba said the country has completely run out of the diesel and fuel oil it needs to keep its power plants running, with civil unrest starting to break out amid a de facto US energy blockade of the communist-run nation. “The system has, once again, been left without any fuel reserves,” Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy said during a press conference late Wednesday. “There’s absolutely nothing.” While the island of 10 million people is using some domestic fuel production and solar energy to keep some lights on, the entire grid is now so fragile that large swathes of the country are going dark. Cuba’s electrical union said it could only cover about a third of national power demand. Social media reports showed sporadic protests breaking out in and around the capital of Havana before night fell on Wednesday, with people banging pots — and in some cases lighting fires — on darkened streets for hours thereafter. President Miguel Díaz-Canel blamed the increasingly dire situation on Donald Trump ’s pressure campaign. “This dramatic decline in conditions has only one cause: the genocidal energy blockade that the US has imposed on our country, as it threatens to impose irrational tariffs on any nation that provides us with energy,” Díaz-Canel said in a post on X . The US has cut off the island from virtually all fuel imports since January — only letting a single Russian tanker through. That ship, which docked in late March, allowed the island to reduce the frequency and length of blackouts, de la O said. But the 730,000 barrels of oil it was carrying ran out in early April. Washington blames Cuba’s economic failings on mismanagement and corruption and has said the 67-year-old regime needs to step down — or be ousted — before the economy can begin to improve. While talks between US and Cuban officials are ongoing, few concessions have been made. Both sides are now allowing the island’s small but growing private sector to import fuel to cover its own needs, but those shipment...

felixmizioznikov/iStock via Getty Images My last article on Infinity Natural Resources ( INR ) noted that this was a fairly new issue without a five-year track record. At the time, I liked the low debt and really expected the company to concentrate on operations. Instead, the Iranian situation came along while the company acquired assets from Antero Resources ( AR ) and Antero Midstream ( AM ) (a sixty percent interest) along with Northern Oil and Gas ( NOG ) (a 40% interest). Combine that with the fact that the company reported a first-quarter loss while many in the industry are reporting significant profits even if they report a hedging loss due to the strong commodity prices that were present during a La Niña winter. After the combination, the company reported a debt ratio of roughly 1.3. But that debt ratio did not include the preferred stock that was also issued to allow the acquisition. That preferred stock is also a superior claim for common shareholders. Therefore, many investors include that preferred with the debt ratio to come up with a ratio of superior "things" to the common. If that ratio is done by including the preferred, it goes above what the market considers acceptable. Since that is the case, then this stock will drop to a hold because management may be trying to do too much way too fast. Generally new issues need to be held to a higher standard of accuracy than is the case with more established companies because a lot tends to go wrong faster. Books like David Dreman's "Contrarian Investor" series of books cover how well over 90% of new issues are not around in any form 5 years later (roughly). This stock has already reported a first-quarter loss during a period of higher commodity prices (thanks to the La Niña winter). I very much understand that there was a hedging loss and that the acquisition itself has a lot of nonrecurring costs that can cause something like this. However, this is a new issue. Therefore, the situation needs to turn around ...
