Rita Readies To Go To Work

In the end, trading is about booking profits. You do not
have to be first on the right side of the market and there
is no sin to leaving a little money on the table.

Rita is going to hit land full force about 24 hours from now.
It will be a major event and forecasters say that with the
jet stream way north, the storm will linger and not dissipate
as quickly as did Katrina.

Next week will be soon enough for me to look at opportunities.
I am particularly interested in seeing what the total bill
might be for reconstruction / redevelopment in the wake of
both storms and how economic policy will respond.
