Volume off the high- Oct 26 and and Oct 31

I am getting acclimated to the substitute work flow. I wanted to provide updates on new volume off the high stocks or funds that occurred over the last two trading days (Oct 26 and Oct 31). One apparent theme, if you want to call it that, in the list is there is a number of municipal bonds funds from various companies hitting the list.

Blackrock Corporate High Yield Fund III- CYE

Dreyfus Muni Income- DMF

Eaton Vance  Short Duration Diversified Income- EVG

Legacy Reserves LP- LGCY

Blackrock Cali Muni Holdings- MUC

PDL Biopharma- PDLI

Regis- RGS

Resmed- RMD

Standard Pacific- SPF

Invesco Van Kampen Senior Income Trust

E=MC^2 is incomplete or how to think like Einstein

On a side note, I hope to get back to a regular posting schedule shortly.

Trading should be "interesting" today

Manhattan is underwater

I have been following the story here, among other places. It looks like I may not be going to the office for a extra day, two, or three.

There are more images, but this image is of 34th and 1st.


Please send some light to those people.

The road to and out of Atlantic City is gone

I hope everyone got out.

The frankenstorm of 1938, a video log

Riding out the storm, the waiting is the worst.

I had a few minutes and I still have power..... for the moment. Just watching and waiting. Thankfully the storm looks like it picked up a bit of speed and may go through New Jersey somewhat quicker than thought. You can watch the radar here at the NOAA site.


In any event, the markets will be closed again tomorrow.

Stock markets in the United States will be closed again on Tuesday for a second day without trading as Hurricane Sandy roared closer to the New York area.

The New York Stock Exchange and BATS Global Markets said in separate statements that they have agreed to close, after consulting with other exchanges and clients. The N.Y.S.E. added that it planned to operate on Wednesday, pending developments in weather conditions.
