Yes spiny, it is quiet. Its that time of the year again...but somehow I, as do others, think there may be some surprises this summer and catch a lot of players asleep at the wheel...or the beach...or even working the second job.

Your acumen and comments with respect to the (dare I mention it) "naked shorting" thing are appreciated and I must try not to mention it again as the subject makes me angry...but that is my problem. People are sick of hearing about it I suppose.

I'm glad SFMI didn't release any substantive news this last week as it would have been negated by the many negative factors at work in the PM markets I think. I'm wondering how much detail SFMI will release since their June end results won't be as good as those accumulated by mid August. We shall see. In any case, the asays should be most positive.
