Our debt-to-GDP ratio just went over 100%. The Euro-crisis is starting to snowball. We have a community organizer in charge. What could go wrong? Ugh!

every now and again I like to give anecdotal market input.

The stock market has been acting like crap lately. Especially today.

I just got out of my forecast meeting. The past two months have been very strong for me and my forecast for the next three months is also very strong.

Almost all of my business right now is coming from the mining industry. Specifically, I am selling systems to gold and platinum mines in South Africa, Coal mines in the US and Australia and Gold in Indonesia.

I also sold a system to support surveillance in China.

Other sales guys in the company sold systems for seismic oil exploration and military applications.
