@MEH: I already laid it off, no worries.

But I’m having coleslaw for lunch, nonetheless.
I may try to catch a few rays as well..

re: cabbage, only if you stand for delivery~the + side is that it stores well..

Leftback is contemplating his extraordinarily long ring fingers and thinking that if we get a massive screamer through 800 today it would be a good time to get short. A more modest advance and the rally continues.

After reading some of your weekend notes, we are tempted to get long cabbage.

Greg,

see: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/hpm.htm

HPM High Power Microwave, the little ones, like the one above, simply, not much..

LSS: it a major reason many satellites have nuclear reactors onboard, to go w/ their solar arrays..

Lasers are muy popular, as well..though, typically for different apps..

I’ve got a great refrain playing right now, “this feels like a nightmare, we’re all in the spot…” lol, laughing is preferable to crying, imo.

karen, do you see your posts on China at 6:49 and 8:35 to be conflicting? The Chinese leadership is under increasing internal political pressure to not have so much of their reserves be dollar denominated. I don’t know if this is necessarily a gold trade as I think the G20 are thinking of a unified, global fiat currency, which they might call the Ritholtz.
