A risky reply, but if you think of yourself as an otter, you might check out Falstaff's exchange with Mistress Quickly in Henry IV, part 1.

More attractively, you might check out Seamus Heaney's poem thatI think is called, "An Otter."

But if you want a really predatory otter, there's Ted Hughes's poem, "Otter."

Otterwise, that's all I can do.

Has anyone ever told you that you were otterly charming? No. And I didn't either.I know you don't have time for that kind of thing.

Meanwhile, back in the nitty-gritty, not to say the nutty-butty, of finance: I see in Barnes and Noble when I go to p[ick up a Barron's, not a single financial book dealing with oil, energy, or precious metals.

I am up to my eyebrows in energy stocks, especially natural gas plays, because the natural gas is rapidly running out until a multibillion dollar pipeline or two is built northwards to Alaska or up the Mackenzie River. Spelled wrong.
