Thank you. Today, however, is a very windy. We probably have a steady 35 mph with gusts to 50 and perhaps more. Not too bad, and a lot better than the Texans are going to get. My heart goes out to them. I was briefly in Houston following K. and was treated magnificently by the hospitable Texans. Ike is a beast of a storm. The reports I see indicate that it's larger than K., a storm I thought was a fluke in that regard. Ike will push a lot of water ahead of it. In fact, the NO metropolitan area communities outside hurricane protection levees are getting flooding from Ike's surge. Many are evacuating. Yes, I am still holding Yen and Swissies as well as gold. No significant changes in my PF in a long time. Still hold coal, energy, gold, the Rogers commodity ETF, all the stuff that has tanked recently. My intention is to hold them for a very long time. The macro/fundamental picture is nonetheless good so I am counting on a return to the mean as they all seem oversold.
