Good Morning

I hope all finds you well, after a filling Thanksgiving day.

My own day was very festive, with a sumptuous meal that started around two post meridian and seemed to last until well after five. It was everything you could ask for, with our family spread out about dwelling areas; the kids rough housing while the parents caught up with one another.

And for the most part, I was good about avoiding work. I only snuck up to my study twice; once in the early morning and once around 4 pm.

What I saw was not so cheeful…

Europe was on fire most of yesterday, and it appears as if the flames have continued to burn through the night and into today. The euro is deflating and quickly. My EUO position is pushing closer to $20 in the pre-market. Gasoline and crude oil are also trading down.

I will be monitoring the situation periodically throughout the day. I have a list of tasks that I need to attend to throughout the morning and afternoon, so I will not be consistent. However, I will make it an effort to return to the 9th floor before the close.
