great weekend in MO. It is surely not surprising that you Mother is showing some weakness at 96. I lost my mother when she was nearing 95. She was born 113 years ago. And time marches on making me now a part of the old generation.
I was hoping you were getting out of your long QQQs. The fundamentals now seem to have turned down for the Purchase Index and the CME Index.
Best wishes,
Doc
