Currencies & Metals wrapped a tourniquet around their bleeding.
Little to no movement in these markets this morning.
Good Day… And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! It’s also Cinco de Mayo! More on that in the wrap up at the end of the letter today… Yesterday it was May the 4th be with you, and today it’s Cinco de Mayo, and tomorrow it will just be May 6th… Oh well, just another day! But that’s tomorrow, we need to live for today! Because only today is promised to us… I, unfortunately, feel like death warmed over this morning, as my cold has taken a turn for the worst. Tommy Tutone greets me this morning with his song: 867-5309. Sort of like 634-5709 the R&B song from the 60 s!

To celebrate the glorious spring weather, the precipitous drop in local COVID-19 infections and my own first Pfizer dose, I recently masked up and went shopping in the high-fashion heart of Beverly Hills. Here is what I bought:
A springform cake pan, an automobile fire extinguisher, a potato masher, half a dozen spring clamps, a dish soap-shaped container of hand sanitizer (because it is hilarious), two travel sewing kits, a waterproof notepad and two packs of cocktail parasols.
Not exactly the kind of shopping haul most people associate with Beverly Hills. I skipped Tod’s, Chanel and even Saks and headed instead to Pioneer Hardware, one of the oldest and, alas, most endangered establishments in L.A.’s famous staging ground for A-list fashion.
