Yesterday's trading saw losses in both metals'n'stocks as futures markets see more this morning.  We'll see.  Despite all the hoopla (Stocks Fall Hard On Bad News ... most of the session in the red Thursday, and action became uglier as the day...) volume was mixed and the drop did not penetrate support levels that have been hanging tough for these past few weeks.  The good news its it's Friday; that and the only reports due today are Mich Sentiment and Leading Indicators.  The latest from Morning Blurb Central:

That’s just scary as hell for UPS and FDX. There is no way they can be liable on normal deliveries. Now if people inside the company were conspiring then that’s different. I used to work for UPS (8 years). UPS transports north of 20 million packages a day. There is no way they can no what is in each of those. There has to me more to this story.

Big Time Pharmacies are getting their panties in an uproar for price gouging Americans and some of them aren’t having it. Some medicines are 1400% cheaper right across the border. Americans are subsidizing the whole worlds medicine (government approved). Not only medicine but surgeries are much cheaper elsewhere. This is the #1 reason I think of ex=pat ing out of this place.
