I'll send you an email first thing tomorrow

Fair enough. Honestly, I'm so rattled by the NYT piece, I'm finding it hard to think straight about this right now. Not to beat a dead horse, but that article was staggeringly unprofessional, so far outside the norm of Times standards I hardly know where to begin. Everything about it -- the...

"American tax dollars being forked over to..." I'm a bit troubled by this construction -- not the substance, mind you, but its expression here. To my ear, anyway, it invites a riposte along the lines of, "Well, then, we must set up our own FTT so as to keep American tax dollars where they...

Hi there!

Remember how a couple of weeks ago it was ALL about 1196.25? The market's new obsession is 1254.75. Now it's ALL about 1254.75

Interesting, isn't it? Meanwhile, we have a substantial gap up in the making overnight. Lots of 1 and 2 lot orders buying here at 61.25 Who the hell's buying at this level at this hour with one and two lots?
