July 2, 2018 * Currencies continued to rebound on Friday * The price of Oil jumps higher, but Gold remains without a bid… Good Day… And a Marvelous Monday to you! And welcome to July! It’s Pfennig tradition that we being July like this: There I was on a July Morning, I was looking for love. With the strength of the night behind me, and a road of my own- Uriah Heep… I made 4.5 hour drive to the beautiful home of Ray and Donna Hambuchen this past weekend. They were wonderful and gracious hosts to the whole Butler family! Their home is on the White River in Arkansas, and I could have sat out on their deck overlooking the beautiful White River every day of my life! Steely Dan greets me this morning with their great song: Rikki Don’t Lose That Number… I want to get this out of the way front and center this morning… With the 4th of July Independence Day Holiday on Wednesday this week, I’m going to make it a short week for me and the Pfennig… Today and tomorrow, and then off on Wednes..

June 27, 2018 * Currencies spin their wheels yesterday, but get sold overnight * Gold gets whacked again… But Oil jumps higher! Good Day… And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! Crazy weather day yesterday, with wild storms in the early morning, sun and warm weather midday, and then followed by wild storms again to end the day. Robert Plant and the Honeydrippers greet me this morning with their song: Sea of Love..
