As we, here in the U.S., are smothered over with record blizzards and ice storms, the Dow seems to be doing just fine. I think. It just closed at its highest level in 2 1/2 years. On the commodities, forex, and futures side, well, you’ll just have to check it out. What does this mean? I’ll let you be the futurist, analyst, and economist on this.

Around the world is a country in turmoil, Egypt. Over on the Pacific side is a monster cyclone that is causing severe damage in parts of Australia. I have heaps of family over that way, but I don’t think they’re in the areas that are mostly affected. Still, I hope that everyone is okay, here locally and around the globe. After all, all of humanity is a multiplicity of earth creatures’ family! Do pray for us all.
