Greetings and Salutations,

Let’s not get confused, oh yea, you’re getting funds and you will do what’s in your hearts to do. Stuff needs fixed around here. That’s as plain as the nose on your face. Along with that liberation to do as you choose, comes those who are frightened half to death of no longer being able to keep you in check. Of finding themselves unneeded. There was much activity on the reval of currencies this past week, the question is, what of the public? Will they finally allow the pubic in on it? Will we see it on forex monday? I’ve heard all the ‘happy talk’. I say ‘don’t move until you see the whites of their eyes’. Much is afoot but, fear still has great strength in this world and that’s ruling the ‘moment’. Things can change in an instant. The question still comes down to the regular people, nobody spends until the little people can. We can thank former justice Sarah Day O’Conner for that caveat. The people that need the help most.
