Good morning. It is 62 degrees and cloudy here in the upper Hudson Valley. The weather logo is showing sunshine, maybe it appears later on. The world continues to mourn Robin Williams' death. I was talking with friends about it last night and we all agree that the way he went, suicide, is particularly hard to take. Maybe the up side is that perhaps some of us learn to be more compassionate to those who are suffering from depression. It's a dark hole and it's heartbreaking thinking that Robin Williams' last thoughts somehow congealed around the intense pain that the best option right then was to end it all. It remains terribly sad news, very hard to accept. It would be my wish that no one ever commits suicide from this point on.
At 9:00 a.m. ET futures are flat and the price of oil per barrel is up. The market is poised to open in the flat area.
It looks like the ripples from the Russia-Ukraine misery are spilling over into the general EU economic fate. The numbers are not good as the fear is arising that the EU may indeed be headed back into a recession. And so the globe turns.
