Financial PMS

That's it, the market should only be open between 3 PM and 4 PM EST. Apparently that's when the trading hormones are activated.

A Little Break

Got away from it all last weekend. We rented a cabin from the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club out by Harrisburg PA. No electricity or running water, but there was a campfire, wood burning stove, and fireplace, so it ended up nice and cozy.

Milesburn cabin is literally a few steps from the Appalachian Trail. A bunch of hikers passed by during our stay.


The wood buring stove worked quite well!


Bacon!


It was beautiful weather. The first touch of fall.






On the trail!




There was a reservoir nearby, very pretty.


Campfire cooking can yield tasty results. You pretty much wrap anything in tin foil and it comes out great. By the last dinner, we were getting the hang of it - made a delicious spinach pasta with pine nuts and roasted onion/dill potatoes. Yum!


Sometimes it's nice to be in the middle of nowhere. No market indices, user requests, cell phones, reports. Just good company and fire!

The JPM integration is in full swing, so things have been insane at work. It doesn't help that we're merging all of WaMu's systems as well. Damn ambitious managing two large acquisitions in a year, but when the price is right...
