Today was one of those 'risk-on' days when the punters on Wall Street decide that there are blue skies ahead.

Gold and silver were off a bit, and the Dollar bounced a little higher off the recent low.

Tropical Storm Isaias is due to rip through here tomorrow, so I was taking the usual precautions for one of these late summer storms coming up the coast.

This one looks to be a proper nor'easter, with 60 mph winds and 4-6" of rain.

Have a pleasant evening.
