"'Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the time to reap has come, because the earth’s harvest is fully ripe.' So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested."
Revelation 14:15-16
“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more
of it than the next man. It is the comparison that makes you proud:
the pleasure of being above the rest."
C. S. Lewis
"By your stubbornness and hardened heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself for the day of revelation of the just judgment of God, who will repay everyone according to his works."
Romans 2:4-8
"Only the humble believe in him and rejoice that God is so free and so
marvelous that he does wonders where people despair. And that is the wonder of
all wonders, that God loves the lowly. God loves the lost, the neglected, the
unseemly, the excluded, the weak and broken."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger."
Thomas à Kempis
"Nothing from the rising to the setting of the sun is enough for them. Among all others only they are compelled to attack the poor as well as the rich. Plunder, rape, and slaughter they falsely call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace."
Tacitus
Stocks managed to bounce in light trading.
The Dollar fell.
The VIX fell.
Silver rallied while gold finished unchanged.
Looks like a mildly risk on days.
A large amount of economic data tomorrow.
I expect the markets will find a level after Europe goes home and then hold it in very light pre-holiday trade.
Have a pleasant evening.
