Ike---very off topic---Zen??
Just home after a nice afternoon with a new friend...and assorted chores and movie. I'm more of a student<<gg>> with "Zen" than I am with the markets. The group I sit with is a curious group of people, but probably just a typical slice of silicone valley: scientists, engineers, teachers, students, etc. Emphasis is not enlightenment, but the ordinary: non-ego, non-dualistic, meditation practice: paying attention. And how to fold this practice in our every day hetic lives. The abbot at the center worked at IBM for 30 years and during this time studied under Shunryu Suzuki. FWIW, here's the link:

What it's told me about the market <<ggg>> is that on Monday morning, at 10 o'clock, the bell will ring, and the markets will open.
Loosely quoted, the Buddha permeates the SPX pits of Chicago just as much as the petals of the lotus flower.
But it's very late again in CA, and I just noticed the half-dozen plus posts you've been busy with I need to review. Thanks, Ike.
