Shop Talk

A special greeting to Virginia,where I advertised this week.Virginians are getting ready to vote.They won't let the media and the pollsters decide for them.There are many who have already declared victory,but maybe Virginia will surprise them.Some of my ancestors were Virginians,so I'm right at home with them.The stock futures threw a fit this morning,so I wasn't at ease then.In Japan,the Nikkei lost almost 10%.Things have settled down a bit,but we still have to get through the dreaded three o'clock hour.That's when all the forced selling comes in.Hopefully we can stay above the intraday low of October 10.So far,that has been a sturdy bottom for the market.
