Ah, at last, we arrive at the commercial break, where sanity takes a brief intermission and speculation runs the show.

This project, I must say, is rather outstanding—though in much the same way an ancient monolith is: grand, imposing, and requiring a great deal of patience to see any movement. I’ve been following it for quite some time, long enough to see optimism rise and fall like a soufflé in the hands of an amateur chef.

Now, as for my knowledge—well, compared to the average pleb sifting through these updates for a mere morsel of investment insight, I do have the distinct advantage of actually thinking before speaking. But let’s not be uncharitable—uninformed chatter is, after all, the only option when a company releases information with all the enthusiasm of a Trappist monk under a vow of silence. If knowledge were food, I’d be a Dickensian orphan by now, rattling my empty bowl and asking for more.

But if—and I do mean if—this project hits the market this year, shareholders might finally experience a Christmas worthy of a Charles Dickens novel, though hopefully one with less poverty and fewer ghosts of financial decisions past.

So, let’s try to remember: we are all on the same side in this peculiar theatre of capitalist ambition. Encouragement is preferred to critique, unless, of course, the critique is particularly witty—then, by all means, proceed.

Enjoy your weekend, and may your patience be as enduring as your optimism.
