• Interesting...What do you do with your time (above)?
• Big gap down overnight...isn't this fun?  If you want to play, gotta play by their rules and be prepared to play 24 hours.  September...I will be going toward that mode after studying the overnight movements for the past several months.  At the very least, it will avoid the surprises and hopefully improve a few entries, too.  
• And now for some really good news for a change...America may be back in the energy production game....big time!  Peak oil may not be a concern for a long, long time due to...drumroll...human ingenuity and technology!
• Global Warming Update:  Why didn't this report, from NASA, demonstrating less heat retainment than computer models predicted get headlines???  Chicken Little...what a flipping farce it's been.  If you fell for it, promise yourself not to fall for the next bit of alarmist hype coming down the pike...OK?  I mean, honestly, remember how Swine Flu in the 1970's, AIDs and Legionaire Disease in the 1980's, SARs in the 1990's, and Bird Flu & Swine Flu (again) in the 2000's was supposed to be worse than the Black Plague and wipe out a third of the human population?  Oh yeah...and there's an al Qaeda on every corner just waiting to kill you, too.  What crop!!!
