Japanese Haiku Bar
Quadruple Witching Bar
Well, today was pretty much a bore – – and good thing too, because I'm at my Tahoe place and am somewhat out of my element.
I'm going to be spending the rest of the day with my family……..so enjoy the weekend, and let's thank our lucky stars another OPEX is out of the way. Incidentally, I'll be speaking to the Sacramento MAP group tomorrow morning, so I look forward to seeing some of you there.
Meh Bar
This week had its high points and low points for me. I must say, the market's direction is much, much murkier right now for me, which drove me to scale back my positions and adopt more of a wait-and-see attitude. In any case, here's Friday's bar………please drink and comment responsibly.

I have been glued to this chair, it seems, since last Sunday. I am worried that I'll be reaching Kagan-levels of fat soon, so I really should get some kind of exercise besides jumping to conclusions. I hope you folks had a terrific week, and I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing what Monday brings us!
