TUR short

the Turkish stock market looks like it is heading for trouble.
the elections are underway this month, and there is a lot of uncertainty.
furthermore, the lira is nearing the psychological 20 to the dollar ratio.

not optimistic here in the short term.

edit: i own this position long, so i am betting against myself, here.

congrats, KD.

[kadee79]

Congrats DJ!

I'm late getting here cause I've been wrestling with a new little safe I bought.  I needed something bigger for all our papers.  Just getting it into place had been a major chore....then I got down on my knees to put stuff into it & couldn't get up...thank goodness my phone was next to me so I called DH to come help.  
That was yesterday....I had put a bunch of old coins we have in the safe, they had to come back out...we couldn't move it with that load in there.  
I've contacted a gal on another chat board that is from Canada about all the Canadian coins I have.  I have 1 really old penny, 1901, with Victoria on it and there are at least a couple of other pennies with George VI on them...so before Elizabeth in 1953.  I don't know if any of the quarters, dimes or nickels are very old.
