Dukie decided it was crucial to chew on a squeaky toy from 3 to 4 this morning, so my rigid morning routine got somewhat effected, as I got out of bed at the unconscionable time of 6:40 a.m. At least I woke up to this important announcement, which I’ve been waiting years to see:

Anyway, the equity market remains a total bore, with the government shut down (except for the taking taxes part) and no exciting earnings for a couple of weeks. In spite of occasional spurts, the general direction of the market has been withering.

What’s heartening to me is that decades of chart-picking is paying off. A glance at the general equities market shows a sea of puce green.

Whereas in Tim-land, I’m doing quite nicely for the day, thanks so much.

Maybe this explains the unexpected and quite unusual burst in traffic to the site in recent days. I seriously have no idea where all these new people came from.

I’m going to roam the streets with Dukie for a bit. See you soon!
