I worked for Signode Corp, the company that invented those steel & plastic straps used to secure pallets & boxes. Before that I worked as a dialysis technician and only made $5.45 an hour. In Sept 1980 I was laid off when ITW bought Signode and got a job as a meter reader for $9.60 an hour. I got promoted to an Area Operator with ComEd and was making $28 an hour when I retired in 2005. This figures were from the Chicago region. A friend in Florida who was a tech for Southern Bell only made $9 per hour, so wages down south were a lot lower at the time.

A front light isn't enough in human‑robot mixed factories. When a robot turns a corner or approaches from the side, you don't see it coming. Multiple customers said the same: lights on three sides, not just the front. Signode (US), IS (Argentina), and others. SEER Robotics delivered in 24 hours — from FAE request to product update. Not luck. Mature supply chain. Standardized components. A closed loop from field to factory. This wasn't a one‑off. The same safety need came from multiple regions. Three‑side contour lights are now standard on EU and US models. Local regulations and usage habits — absorbed into the product. Turned into standard hardware capability. A good product isn't about specs. It's about giving the field what it needs. Fast. #SEERRobotics #WarehouseSafety #AMR #Forklift

El burka no precisa un debate para prohibirlo, tampoco la ablación femenina, ni el matrimonio de niñas...es un signode sumisión ejercida por el hombre hacia la mujer. La izquierda no puede mirar hacia otro lado, es una realidad minoritaria, pero real.¡Ay Campoamor! @compromis

fuck that ugly blue haired unknown bitch can signode revive and just kill him idc if they’re comrades pls kill dottore if his clone or whatever got ended it’ll happen again

Fwiw (more of an interesting anecdote than anything too important), some of the 'transit' (signode) sells into bevcan sector -- e.g. Ball actually buys plant equipment from signode

I think the Signode (transit) deal was a learning experience and prob good for them in the end from that perspective

$CCK earnings: Crown Holdings (CCK): Strong European Performance Drives Beat and Raise; Leverage Target Achieved Crown delivered a strong quarter, handily beating prior guidance and raising its full-year outlook for both adjusted EPS and free cash flow. The bull case is compelling: European Beverage continues to be a powerhouse, and the company has officially achieved its long-term leverage target of 2.5x, solidifying its commitment to shareholder returns. The bear case centers on the now-explicit “mixed” global beverage can volumes, with softness in Asia and Latin America offsetting strength elsewhere, and a YoY decline in the Americas Beverage segment income. Overall, the bull case is significantly stronger this quarter, as the guidance raise and balance sheet strength are concrete achievements that outweigh the regional softness. Themes, Drivers & Concerns Themes 🟢 Exceptional Financial Performance & Raised Outlook: This theme from last quarter strengthened significantly. The company delivered a 13% increase in adjusted EPS for Q3 and once again raised its full-year guidance for both EPS and free cash flow. 🟢 Disciplined Capital Allocation & Balance Sheet Strength: This has been a key highlight. Crown confirmed it returned over $400 million to shareholders in the first nine months and, most importantly, achieved its long-term adjusted net leverage target of 2.5x. This is a major milestone that de-risks the balance sheet and reinforces the company’s ability to focus on shareholder returns. Drivers 🟢 European Beverage Powerhouse: This remains the primary growth engine. Q3 volume grew an impressive 12%, driving a 27% increase in segment income. This continues to validate the secular shift towards sustainable aluminum packaging in Europe. 🟡 Strength in “Other” Segments: While not the main headline, the report notes stronger results in the North American tinplate business for Q3 and higher shipments in North American food cans over the nine-month period. This diversification provides a helpful buffer. Segment income for “Other” was $51M vs. $27M a year ago. Concerns 🟡 Mixed Global Beverage Volumes: Management was explicit that global volumes were “mixed.” The strength in Europe and the Middle East was offset by softness in Asia and Latin America. This confirms the weakness in Asia flagged last quarter is persisting and has been joined by softness in Latin America. 🔴 Americas Beverage Headwinds: The concern about challenging comps materialized. Americas Beverage segment income fell to $255 million from $280 million in the prior year, a decline of ~9%. This is a notable deceleration from the segment’s prior strength. 🟡 Transit Packaging Softness Continues: Transit Packaging (Signode) continues to face a difficult environment. Net sales declined slightly, and segment income was flat year-over-year, suggesting ongoing soft industrial demand is being managed through cost controls rather than top-line growth. Questions for the Earnings Call Global Beverage Volume Divergence: Can you provide more detail on the softness in Asia and Latin America? What are the key market drivers, and do you see these trends stabilizing or worsening in Q4? Americas Beverage Performance: Segment income for Americas Beverage was down nearly 9% YoY. This is below the “at or around” level discussed last quarter. What drove this underperformance, and what is your outlook for volumes and margins in this segment heading into 2026? Capital Allocation Post-Leverage Target: Congratulations on achieving the 2.5x leverage target. How does reaching this milestone change your capital allocation priorities? Should we expect an acceleration in share repurchases now that the balance sheet goal is met? Capital Spending Reduction: Your guidance for capital spending was lowered by ~$50 million for the year. What projects were deferred or canceled, and does this change your outlook for future capacity additions?

Absence of Jurisdictional fact-No authority can confer upon itself jurisdiction which it otherwise does not possess 'Jurisdiction' means authority to decide. Therefore, the fact or facts upon which the jurisdiction of a court, a tribunal or an authority depends can be said to be a "jurisdictional fact". If the jurisdictional fact exists, a court, tribunal or authority has jurisdiction to decide other issues. If such fact does not exist, a court, tribunal or authority cannot act. The existence of a jurisdictional fact is thus a sine qua non or condition precedent to the assumption of jurisdiction by a court or tribunal. Therefore, for assumption of jurisdiction by a court or a tribunal, existence of jurisdictional fact is a condition precedent. But once such jurisdictional fact is found to exist, the court or tribunal has power to decide adjudicatory facts or facts in issue. Examples of Jurisdictional Fact 👉 The question whether premium for renewal of tenancy was or was not paid was a jurisdictional fact and, therefore, was held to be a condition precedent for the lawful exercise of jurisdiction by a Rent Tribunal-R. v. Fulham, Hammersmith and Kensington Rent Tribunal, ex p Philippe [(1950) 2 All ER 211 (DC)] 👉 Whether the petitioner was an "adult" in adoption proceedings was not held to be a "jurisdictional fact" (Eversole v. Smith [159 SW 2nd 35]). 👉 The question whether construction was new or not was a "jurisdictional fact" and if the court wrongly decided the said fact and thereby conferred jurisdiction not vested in it, the High Court could interfere with the order. In Chaube Jagdish Prasad v. Ganga Prasad Chaturvedi [AIR 1959 SC 492 : 1959 Supp (1) SCR 733]. 👉 The question of limitation involves a question of jurisdiction. The finding of fact on the question of jurisdiction would be a jurisdictional fact-TW Signode India Ltd. v. CCE 2003 taxmann.com 382 /2003 (158) E.L.T. 403 (SC) 👉 Vesting itself with power under Section 74 is a question of jurisdictional fact- NCS Pearson Inc. vs. Union of India [2025] 178 taxmann.com 452 (Karnataka)[16-07-2025] 👉 Glance at provisions contained in Section 63 would reveal that the Assessing Authority is vested with power to invoke jurisdiction under section 63 inter alia in the event "taxable person fails to obtain registration even though liable to do so". Evidence available on record is silent about existence of such jurisdictional fact-Arupa Nanda Dhal vs. Additional Commissioner of State Tax (Appeal) [2024] 159 taxmann.com 684 (Orissa)[29-01-2024] The underlying principle is that by erroneously assuming existence of such jurisdictional fact, no authority can confer upon itself jurisdiction which it otherwise does not possess.

Whites need not apply - White Kids don't qualify! The Bidvest Group Ltd opened applications for their 2026 School Bursaries for employees earning R 15,300/pm or less, and guess what? Parents of White Children need not apply as White kids don’t qualify! Bidvest, South Africa’s 15th largest conglomerate with a $4.75 billion market cap, operates 10 divisions raking in billions, pushing products South Africans use daily. This policy, targeting a 7% minority, clashes with global norms. The US Supreme Court’s Ames v. Ohio ruling (June 5, 2025) declares discrimination on any basis—race, religion, or otherwise—unconstitutional under Title VII, setting a standard Bidvest ignores, while representing many American Companies and Brands like Hitachi, Signode, Spectrum Brands (Russell Hobbs), George Foreman, Ford and Chevrolet (GM) in South Africa! This is immoral and unacceptable! There are 2 ways to fight back, so this is a call to action to both my South African AND American Friends: 1. South African Boycott: Hit their wallets where possible! Avoid products from their 10 divisions: Adcock Ingram: Panado, Plush, Bioplus, Citro-Soda, Compral. Bidvest Automotive: Bidvest McCarthy, Bidvest Burchmore’s. Bidvest Commercial Products: Hitachi Power Tools (HiKOKI), Signode, Unicarriers, Rational Ovens, Tajima, Juki, Tesa Tapes, Plumblink, Voltex, Moto Quip, Leisure Quip, Waltons, Konica Minolta, Cecil Nurse, Silveray, Kolok, Lithotech, Bidvest Data, Masterpack, Rotolabel. Bidvest Financial Services: Bidvest Bank, Compendium, FinGlobal, Bidvest Insurance, Master Currency. Bidvest Freight: Bidvest Tank Terminals, SABT, Bulk Connections, Bidvest International Logistics, Manica Group, Bidvest SACD, Bidvest Port Operations, Bidtrack, ClickOn. Bidvest Branded Products: Russell Hobbs (Spectrum Brands), Salton, George Foreman, Maxwell & Williams, Cellini, Waltons, Konica Minolta, Cecil Nurse, Silveray, Kolok, Lithotech, Bidvest Data, Home of Living Brands, Masterpack. Bidvest Services South Africa: Bidvest Protea Coin, Aquazania, GPT, Bidair Cargo, Rennies Travel, Execuflora. Bidvest Services International: Steiner, Prestige, Bidvest Facilities Management, Noonan, PHS, BIC Services. Their reach makes this tough, but every skipped purchase sends a message! American Pressure: Contact and Tag the American brands Bidvest represents: Hitachi, Signode, Spectrum Brands (Russell Hobbs), George Foreman, Ford, Chevrolet (GM) - to demand they force Bidvest to drop this racial clause and contact and tag your Senators and House Members when sharing this post to ensure Political Pressure! This cannot stand!

I rarely sell my winners. The list is long - Colgate, Hul, Nestle, Hdfc, Reliance, Cholamandalam, TCS, Tamo, Coromandel International, PnG, Lmw, Siemens, Cummins, etc. Those that I sold, regretted, bought back, traded - Apollo Hospitals, MRF, Infosys, Wipro Some which I lost - Kodak, ITW Signode, Hoganas, Cadbury, - lost to buyback However I have no regrets of watering the weeds - I sold my losers very soon. There are fund managers in whose funds I have invested for 20 years - PJ, NS, and Franklin Templeton. Too early to comment on RJ, Invesco, Dsp, Nippon - my relationship is less than 10 years old. Invested in Nippon ONLY after it became Nippon. Oops.
