Stocks had the wobbles again today but managed to end up with only minor losses.

The Dollar rallied higher to the mid 95 level.

Gold and silver gave up a little ground.

The VIX also gave up a bit of ground.

The big infrastructure bill was signed into law today in Washington DC.

The 'shortage of turkeys' for Thanksgiving seems to be another false rumor here.

At every store, I checked there were many available, and my local grocery is going to be giving us a free one again this year. 

At Costco, they had plenty of fresh turkeys on offer for $.99 per pound.

Don't believe everything that you hear.   

The flim-flammers and their spokesmodels are out there trying to sway public fears for their own profits and purposes.   

Even when it comes to issues of health and public safety.

Yes, there are some supply chain disruptions. But in almost every case I have checked it is because of a very poor management planning with a strong emphasis on short term profits, with la brazen disregard for the consequences of 'just-in-time' fragility and single sourcing and offshoring critical components.

These were accidents of fragility in planning, managerial short-sightedness incompetence, waiting to happen.

And who could have seen it coming, right?

Have a pleasant evening.
