At least the BenchMark was a bit more lenient today!

[damnotagain]

There are at least a handful of people, on these boards, would love to see me crash that hydrogen powered toyota right into a tree!

With two days still to go, it's anybody's race to win.  Tough course to run again this week. 

[damnotagain]

Missed the tree bounced off a guard rail! 

[damnotagain]

VB , BREW     for lunch ..  with turkey/chicken liver sandwich. Bowl motza ball soup. Fries and gravy , pickle.

[ModE98]

This is a rough, bumpy road we are traveling.  Hard on the keeny-po-po!   Looks like this "mini-correction" could turn a bit nastier before it's over.  Have to watch world events, which are not very nice these days. 

[clarkrl2]

What more can I say : T-Bonds 30 year are headed to 3% and 10 year t-notes to 2%.  EU is caving in as the Russian events put the brakes on the EU recovery and the Rescue fund is out of EU's to save the PIIGS!!  Hold your powder dry Oct 7 , 2014 will be a better buying holiday then today.  
KASH IS KING


BiMetalAuPt


THE USA has a nation wide shortage of chicken: thank-you Russia for solving this shortage and the high price  of chicken wings and breast meat.
how about the decline in oil prices: again thank you Russia for supply reduction: now for a pipeline from MIDLAND,Texas to Port Houston! for oil Super Tankers to Port Hamburg, Germany: We need to start BiMetalAuPt  super 70 inch pipeline

Don't forget about pork! $500 million worth up here needs to find a way to market. So much for inflation due to commodities. How about the next thing that will be big news - the US paying off debt thanks to FRB policy!   Let's get that oil to market, and start producing the renewable kind here. Biometal, FTW!

Russia is in the process of acquiring a very large wheat field. Might turn the gas valve off on Europe!

I am fortunate enough to live close to Three Floyd's Brewing, one of the premiere craft brews in the country.

You should see their annual public release of some beers. It is a happening.

They were becoming so popular, they could not stock their 6 pks in the stores in the area for awhile.

BREW is on the other side of the country, but have some very good selections.

I am surprised they did not do better this week, but they did have a high opening on Monday that was well above Friday's closing price

[ModE98]

My IRDM is fading in the stretch, running more like a jackass than a horse.

Edit:  Great finish today, let's see who made the winner's circle!
