Two nice stories to start your day.

Link here: second best March in tax sales for Orange County, Florida; California tax revenues up, surprising analysts. Very, very interesting.

Interesting link here regarding volatility of oil prices. You may be surprised to learn which commodity (an agricultural product) that is banned by the US government to be traded on the futures market.  The bill was pushed through by an up-and-coming freshman representative: Gerald Ford of Michigan.

And oil prices falling nicely just before the driving season.
