Back in the Saddle

I've returned to the USA from a few days in Dublin, Ireland ... bringing home a bottle of a Jameson's finest Irish Whiskey, viz., a blend of its rarest and finest whiskies purchased in the duty-free shop in Dublin Airport.  Dublin is a fine city to visit, very walkable with plenty of history and art.  A taxi was required just once for the trip to the Guinness Storehouse for a tour showing how that fine product is made ... and a fresh pint of draught in the circular, glass-windowed bar on top of the factory.  The Jameson Distillery exhibit was also worth the trip - very informative ... and tasty.

I'll write more about Dublin, the history of Ireland and its meaning for Americans later this week.

Markets

Ms. Market took a break from dancing on the tables and is resting awhile in a chair.  Silver and gold also dropped significantly.  Hmmm ... both events occurred just after Krypto sold lots of silver and lots of stocks.  Perhaps certain doubters should re-assess their opinions of Krypto as an asset allocation whiz?

Actions

None.
