I think those who weren't at the inauguration today stayed home and panicked. What a terrible day for the market and a great day for our Nation. Too bad they could not be in concert with one another.

Hard to tell right now if the market is overreacting, or simply signaling what is to come. But trying to envision the US and world economy without a functioning financial sector bends my mind pretty far out of shape. I had expected a game of winners and losers in that sector until now. But today was strictly losers across the board on my watch lists. Let's hope we get some statements from the new administration soon on where all this is headed.

Intellectuals Robinson Jeffers It is so hard for men to stand by themselves, They must hang on Marx or Christ, or mere Progress? Clearly it is hard. But these ought to be leaders... Sheep leading sheep, "The fold, the fold. Night comes, and the wolves of doubt." Clearly it is hard. Yourself, if you had not encountered and loved Our unkindly all but inhuman God Who is very beautiful and too secure to want worshippers, And includes indeed the sheep with the wolves, You too might have been looking about for a church. He includes the flaming stars and pitiable flesh, And what we call things and what we call nothing. He is very beautiful. But when these lonely have traveled Through long thoughts to redeeming despair, They are tired and cover their eyes; they flock into fold.
