Such a situation can severely narrow the crack spread, which represents the profit margin a refiner realizes when he procures crude oil while simultaneously selling the refined products into a competitive market. Because refiners are on both sides of the market at once, their exposure to market risk can be greater than that incurred by companies who simply sell crude oil, or sell products to the wholesale and retail markets.

Despite the fact that the chemical structure of powder cocaine and crack cocaine is nearly identical, the punishment for crack possession or sales is far greater than that of cocaine. Until 2010, this sentencing disparity was 100 to 1, which means that while just 5 grams of crack would carry a 5-year mandatory minimum, it would take 500 grams of cocaine to trigger the same 5-year sentence. While the law was changed in 2010, there continues to be a disparity of 18 to 1.
Since going public, Square Inc. (NYSE:SQ) has been nothing short of a roller coaster, trading in a volatile range between $8.06 and $15.99, with the price currently consolidated above $9.50, not far from the November IPO price and my initial price target of $9, which was outlined in my original article (available to PRO subscribers). A great deal of effort was spent highlighting an extensive list of issues related to the capital structure, business model, and the competitive environment of SQ, including the long line of ancillary products and services leveraging the company's core transactions-based, point of sales "POS" revenue model. With a lack of barriers to entry and a large dependency on its low-margin transaction-based revenue, SQ is left financially and heavily reliant on small- to medium-sized enterprises "SMEs," which are historically very cyclical and carry substantial going concern issues at all times. The main transactions business of SQ lives and dies by the success or failure to achieve uninterrupted hyper-scale growth, while the firm stretches itself thin to grow multiple ancillary products, with the aspiration to create a global end-to-end solutions platform to diversify the obvious structural problems and naturally low margins related to SQ's transactions-based business model. CEO Jack Dorsey is faced with the daunting task of quickly growing ancillary revenues to a meaningful level and managing rapidly growing costs, all while splitting his time between two high-profile and troubled public companies.
SQ's easy-to-implement, on-the-go payment solution has solved a long-standing void in the payments market (evident from healthy growth in GPVs, "Gross Payment Value"), while 7 years of intense marketing has created a very recognizable brand among both consumers and sellers. Recent brick-and-mortar relationships with Apple (AAPL), Wal-Mart (WMT), and Target (TGT) to sell their POS hardware to retail customers is a testament to the growing strength of the brand, but also the very limited client base it can serve (SMEs, 85% >$500K GPV a year). What started out as a small plug-in device inserted into a smartphone, enabling payments to be sent and received quickly outside of the traditional stationary point-of-sales "POS" model, has quickly evolved into a long list of various SaaS ancillary services revolving around human resource, back office analytic services, and a direct lending businesses called Square Capital, in an attempt to achieve aspirations of being a full-scale end-to-end service provider.
Since powder cocaine is converted to crack in the UK, the trend in crack purity is similar to powder cocaine purity (though purities of crack are usually higher). The purity of crack at user level in England and Wales rose from its lowest point of 26% in 2011 to a record 77% in 2018 and has been over 70% since 2016. 2ff7e9595c
