US equity markets: it's possible we could see an all-time high on the S&P 500 today.
- Bitcoin: up another $1,700 and now trading over $65,500 -- this is, of course, another new all-time high;
- ten-year treasury: hit 1.67% overnight; dropped back slightly in early morning trading
- Dow: after being flat to slightly negative overnight, up 100 points out of the gate this morning, and now up over 104 points. (8:52 a.m. CT)
- bellwether stocks for me;
- AAPL: green, up 0.35%;
- ENB: red, down 0.26%;
- SRE: very green, up 0.80%
- OKE: red; own 034%
Random observation / question:
- surging price of natural gas pulling price of oil upward;
- is gamification of trading (Robin Hood) and fervor of Bitcoin pulling US equity markets upward, also?
Labor shortage? Self-inflicted. What's this all about? Link here.
- 80,000 green cards are about to disappear from the US.
- it's this sort of garbage that makes me re-think my position on the southern surge
Prussic acid: at wiki.
- hydrogen cyanide
- highly poisonous
- highly valued precursor to many chemical compounds
- first isolated from a blue pigment: Prussian blue, 1706; at time, structure unknown;
- an acid that did not contain oxygen ("acid-former"): upset acid theory
- cyan: ancient Greek word for blue --> cyan-ide
- apricot pits, as well as other fruit pits
- possibly a precursor to amino and nucleic acids, possibly playing a part in origin of life;
- prussic acid poisoning and livestock: SDSU -- link here.
