petrobank down baytex, bqi, vermilion, enerplus, canadian oil sands, connacher, opti-canada, and coal finance.yahoo.com up
gold down skf, srs, twm up
all non-usd/hkd currencies down hkd up
bekb.be, pspt, bg down short against (eww) mexico etf up
more of this and that down, more of that and this up, etc etc
sub-net net up by a bit, as if last night did not happen

(i) on other fronts, interest rate did not rise assuming one can actually find the money (perhaps dificult except for jpm :0), and so 4.5-6.7% cap rate locked-in in terms of a soon enough to be strong currency is not a bad thing, especially if lodged within truly free jurisdiction. but, otoh, sure wish rates would go up to 18% so that one can go pick on the wounded and clean out the dead
(ii) monetary and price inflations are both still up, because both are baked in, and so coal and steel and building material and labour and transportation all cost more AND sell for more, along with the stuff in which they are used, and so cash is not exactly a wonderful thing, but otoh, well, i do not know how it will all pan out, but am willing to watch, observe, ruminate, and see
(iii) mv may fu and mv lady giovi docked and unloaded, whereas mv atlantic is doing same - andthe good folks of philippines are still turning on their lights, so, however given port delays and usd 70k ship daily charter rates, faster unloading would be better (entire elapsed time is 2-5 days at load port, 4-5 days sailing, 3-5 days at discharge port, and so every hour counts on the meter) - in the meantime, respite for about 30 days
sub-net net still good
net net fuss-free
