Well we are getting more serious rain now, I just logged in and
put a market sell on my DIA for the open, as I half expect to
lose power by in the morning, and wont be on line to see crap,
if it's not to bad I may kill the order before the open, but from
the looks of this weather the market can go do what it wants without me. I'm shutting down and subject to be boarding up in the morning.

I compute dec fair value at 12.675 = 5.2% interest * .25 (3months) * 975 (spot SPX)

Bob: I got up early, ( 5:30 ) no rain went out and could see a few
stars this storm must have put on some speed and moved inland,
and is breaking up. It was more like a monsoon than a hurricane,
person across the street has a rain gauge, says we had 11.5 inches
since 7:30AM yesterday. Last night it was after midnight I went to
bed and looking bad as our street was under water. This Morning
it's mostly all run off, and while I expect some more rain , I
don't expect it to be anything like yesterday. This thing didn't
have a lot of punch , it was just very big in area and had mucho
rain. News reported 26,000 without electricity at 6am , by
7am that was down to 18,000.
The front beaches all got flooded, but by noon today I expect that
to be back to almost normal, except for the clean up as many of
them got water in their homes.
---------------------------
The futures look to be about $5 below fair value, if that don't
change we gap down, and then make a new low. It don't seem money
should be running into gold right now but my GOLDX is flying.
Got to run
