(114,624 posts)It was a gluten free donut and 42 degrees here and I've only had 5 hours of sleep.
At least heating this dump is cheaper than running refrigerated AC would be. And it's supposed to go up to the low 60s this afternoon.
I see the market is still sputtering along under 13,000, while it looks like the latest rise in oil future prices has stalled. My sincerest hope along that line is that the Koch boys bankrupt themselves trying to manipulate a crisis by fiddling futures prices. You know and I know that demand is down and any rise in prices will drive it farther down, especially coming into scooter and motorcycle season. I'm hoping for a repeat of the Bunky Hunt debacle in silver.
My own stuff has been doing well, as that rising market helps everything but especially the blue chip stuff my dad favored.
However, I got my 1099s last week and the first amended 1099 two days ago. April Fools Day as my tax day might be too soon at this rate.
