Watch the CHF to see which way the wind is blowing. This morning it was falling against the $ well before the rest.

In other news, we got another foot of snow. 167 inches for the year. I hope this is the last of it.

The long upper shadows on gold and silver are institutional shorts knocking down the price to lesson the amount needed for margin calls. Every new high will have some taking profits. Oil will fluctuate depending on which Gaddafi rumor is current.

I'm back!! after pilates this evening i did something I have never done before.. returned two bottles of wine to Trader Joe's.. Bought yesterday morning, tried last night.. 2007 Three Knights Merlot.. poured just a taste in my glass and found it undrinkable even as I sat distracted at laptop! Corked it back up, opened a Zin instead.. Later, sitting in front of the fire having dinner with my son, I noticed he uncharacteristically had a small glass of wine poured.. I commented and he said, Oh, please, you take it.. I can't drink it. Turns out he had poured the merlot for himself as well. The took both bottles back without question..

Around and watching futures try to trick the bulls into thinking that yesterday was a outlier.

Well on the subject of wine... The only "sensible" argument goes as such... (age old story - white vs. red)

Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Male announcer: [later] The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.

Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.

Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.

Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!

Male announcer: Listen Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

[Later]

Male announcer: There's just no stopping in a white zone.

Female announcer: Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Male announcer: It's really the only sensible thing to do, if its done safely. Therapeutically there's no danger involved.
