Dow futures are slightly down this morning pre-open with resistance currently around 25,100, so chances are decent that we will indeed have an up day... hedgies and other traders seem to play follow a leader pre US open... and as usual WTFDIK. I'll be offline most of today & tomorrow due to guests in town. No positions in place today, other than grins with friends..

The future of nuclear warfare is becoming far more destructive. The Chinese Academy of Sciences announced last week that state-backed researchers at a facility in Lanzhou had successfully fired superheated beams of Tantalum 181. Tantalum 181 is a radioactive isotope that could be added to nuclear warheads to increase their devastating fallout. This news from a Chinese city that many Westerners have likely never heard of has sobering implications for every person alive. Adding Tantalum 181 to a warhead could theoretically produce a “salted” nuclear bomb. After causing extreme damage with the initial explosion, a salted bomb would release a cloud of radioactive isotopes that spread over a far larger area than those of an ordinary nuclear bomb. Such bombs are named after a practice from the Middle Ages in which a victorious power spread salt on conquered lands. The practice often symbolized the desire of the victor to completely eradicate its enemy’s ability to rebuild and regrow after the war. The purpose of a salted nuclear weapon is to spread deadly fallout as broadly as possible, contaminating huge areas and rendering them uninhabitable for years or possibly decades. If enough of these devices were detonated, the radioactive clouds could merge together, making the effects exponentially worse....
