[OT] >>Sophia is pretty... be nice to her.<< I'm always nice to the the runt of the clutch .. You see her Beak right ?? LOL .. It's really a Razor. I've watched her split wood blocks into little pieces. And take the nuts and bolts off of her cage feeder doors and get out. We'll come back from a short trip .. and she'll be out. But she harasses me .. I put my hand near her with a peanut or pistachio and she ATTACKS my finger .. and holds it in her beak. No Pressure .. Just a Friendly . .. as if to say .. HEY !! What's your hand doing near me .. ?? Ohhhh it's Food ! ;) You ought to watch her eat a Chicken Leg Bone. SNAP .. Crack .. Crunch. And then sometimes she will pay me the ultimate compliment by "upchucking stuff" from her craw to try to feed me. Which is "Really Gross" so then I have to leave the room. lol She was given the Death Sentence about 4 years ago by the Vet. She was diagnosed with proventricular dilatation syndrome commonly called MaCaw Wasting Disease. It's Fatal. The craw gets inflamed and no digestion occurs. She was the 1st case in OH in over 10 years .. but the Magical Doc Mohan tried an experimental treatment of .... Celebrex the NSAID. The most fun part was giving her the medicine .. as you can imagine. I Ranted when I thought they were going to remove Celebrex from the Market. You'd never think this this Bird was ever sick to see her today. Cheers !!!

Thanks .. the reason I did the Form Fit on the XLE is because I ... "FEEL" the Oil Spike was an anomaly .. created by too many trying to play a Thinly Traded Commodity. And because our Government saw fit to not include Food and Energy coefficients in the Inflation Gauge. No Wonder Allan Greenspan just told Congress that his "MODEL" was Flawed. I think I may have mentioned that I thought it was Flawed because even though the cost of food and energy may fluctuate dramatically .. it provided Zero Adjustment for any sustained Trend in either direction. Hell .. even Stochastics can provide just about any kind of Smoothing Factor you desire. But not to include any kind of adjustment in the Inflation Calculation for a Sustained Trend over "Time" in either Food or Energy .. is just SIMPLY LUDICROUS. It doesn't take into consideration the actual impact on the consumer. And because in hindsight .. this was not an Ascending Triangle breaking out of the Box but a Leading Diagonal forecasting the end of the run. Message 24726041 So now we have the USD on a rebound because USD denominated commodities are retracing .. not because of the strength of the USD itself .. but because of its comparative or relative strength against other global currencies which is deflating the commodities in our currency. As it increases the Cost of commodities that are denominated in and weakening against the USD .. we have an inpouring of funds from other countries whose currencies are deflating against ours in order to hedge theirs against the USD. We should be seeing some Immediate Repatriation of Earnings held by US Global Companies in other Foreign Currencies before those foreign denominated earnings loose their clout .. Earnings Repatriation Tax !! Those earnings would have been back here a long time ago if not for the PENALTY TAX. My biggest fear now with commodities in Falling Knife Mode .. is not inflation .. it's more Deflation.
