Hi Uncle Frank, and everyone.
What a terrible Naz day today and more to come for all markets tomorrow.
Wonder how we know when the bleeding has stopped and its a "buying opportunity".
I know I know, its always a good time to buy a Gorilla or gorilla maybe.

Interesting coincidence of life:
Many years ago when I was a young teacher in Arizona, my principal and I became good friends (we still occasionally phone or write) and she shared a poem that I always remembered called "Anyway".
I asked her for it about two years ago and she could not find it. I could not find it either so put the thought aside.
Last month, walking down the streets of Park City Utah, I noticed a small Indian "oddments to buy" shop and in the window, posted, was....
You guessed it

Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered,
Love Them Anyway
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives,
Do Good Anyway
If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies
Succeed Anyway
The good you do will be forgotten tomorrow,
Do Good Anyway
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable,
Be Honest and Frank anyway
What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight
Build anyway
People really need help but may attack you if you help them
Help people anyway
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth
Give The World The Best You've Got Anyway.

From a sign on the wall of shishu Bhavan, the children's home in Calcutta.

(And from a Libertarian point of view, do all this because you want to, not because someone is forcing you.)
The poem still delights me.
