What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBloomberg says Dangote's mega-refinery IPO is a big deal for Africa, a major capital markets moment for energy infrastructure.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining us is a retail trader who bet the wrong way. Tyler, welcome.

  3. Tyler BrisketThanks, Vera. Yes, I am Tyler Brisket, and I put my entire tax refund on the refinery never going public. It felt like a lock.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTyler, Bloomberg's angle is that this signals energy independence for Africa. Where exactly did the never-happening thesis come from?

  5. Tyler BrisketA dream, Vera. I woke up sweating at three in the morning and just knew. Turns out the sweating was a bad shrimp taco.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo your whole position was based on digestive distress. I respect it. What is the damage?

  7. Tyler BrisketI now owe my roommate rent, my sister a kidney's worth of apologies, and I am eating dinner out of a gas station microwave.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTyler, this is a dip. A gift. Your losses are temporarily unrealized, and I will not be taking questions on that.

  9. Tyler BrisketVera, I sold the position yesterday. It is very realized. My taco is also still winning. We will have to leave it there.
