Good morning. It is 65 degrees and gorgeous here in the Upper Hudson Valley. We are expecting another magnificent day, Thursday was splendid. The shooting of the four marines yesterday was horrible. I have not checked numbers but it strikes me that these mass shootings are becoming more and more common in the USA. It's an epidemic. We can rile on about what's wrong in this country but this, this is right at the top of the problem list. I personally believe that like most things, the shootings are a symptom of something much deeper and screwier. This shooter lived in that area, how much you want to bet that there was an interaction between this shooter and a marine probably involving a young woman that set this whole mess off. I would bet my last dollar on the notion that the shooter felt victimized either because he was not accepted in his community or he was shot down by a woman or both. So stupid, so unnecessary...
At 9:00 a.m. ET futures are slightly down and the price of oil per barrel is down. The market is poised to open lower.
Germany is voting on Greece. Oil is still tumbling mainly on the Iran deal news. China is in disarray. Google is making money hand over fist. I'm grateful that it's Friday.

Many Germans hate the idea of lending Greece more money after years of overspending and political mismanagement.
