Beautiful Day

Went to see Joe Biden speak in Ocala this morning. Then I spent the rest of the day in a shimmering green grassy field filled with recently weaned horses. The weather was perfect--about 65 degrees with no clouds in the sky. I always spend time in the fall scoping out the newest crop of horses, because it's about this time of year that one can begin to get an accurate sense of a horse's confirmation. I'll just leave at this: Once again, dad has raised a superb class of fillies and colts.

The stock market had a blistering day as well. I participated in some of the gains but am kicking myself for setting such a tight stop on EWZ, because I know that stock leaps higher when the market ticks upward. The good news, however, is that it's looking like I will simply get to keep the premiums I collected on GE and RIO put options, and my long RIO position was up about 11% today. Not a bad day's work, considering that I spent most of my time playing with horsies!
