Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before...
Edgar Allen Poe, The Raven
Stocks were drifting higher today.
Gold showed some surprising resilience, even as the Dollar was moving higher and volatility continued to decrease.
Central Bank buying of gold is at its highest level in fifty years.
Something to think about.
Trumpolini will be giving the State of the Union Address this evening.
It was even nicer here today with temperatures in the mid 60's and another bright sunny day with a light breeze.
Thank God for all His kindness, and tender mercies.
The weather turns more seasonal again tomorrow and the rest of the week.
Perhaps the markets will lose some of this unnaturally sunny disposition as well.
Have a pleasant evening.
