re <<the dividends to Alaskan dwellers should be rising sharply this year?>> Maybe. Although state oil revenues are rising sharply this year, the annual dividend calculation is based on a five-year average of the ($70 billion) Permanent Fund's performance. So the dividend amount in the next few years could be negatively affected by falling investment values and high expenses for inflation-proofing. The dividend is paid out in September, but we'll likely get a preliminary estimate in August. re <<Yellen Signals Openness to Paring Tariffs on Imports From China>> Let's watch and see how that idea plays out during the mid-term election.

re <<the dividends to Alaskan dwellers should be rising sharply this year?>> The Alaska legislature just voted to authorize a 2022 Permanent Fund dividend of $2,550, plus a $650 one-time energy relief assistance payment. This amounts to $3,200 per person, so a family of four would collect $12,800. If the governor signs off on this compromise, we'll have a big spending spree in September when the money hits the street! ;) It's a large payout, but the governor wanted even more: $5,500. That would be like distilling your seed corn for moonshine, while depending on a bumper crop to replaced it. I'm quite happy that the legislature also authorized $400 million toward upgrading our crumbling port. But I think we'll need oil prices to remain high for a few more years to complete that project.
