Stocks managed to turn in a positive performance despite a lackluster trade off mundane economic data.

Gold and silver were under heavy pressure, and the Dollar did very little.

The VIX continued to slide back down to its comfortable complacency.

The markets are staggering to the weekend, and the growing unease about geopolitical events.

Today is the memorial day for Maximilian Kolbe, the saint and martyr for love of others.

His example shines down through the dark selfishness and cruel indifference of the servants of power.

A fitting reminder as we sink back into that sort of madness today.

Have a pleasant evening.
