Thinking it's almost time to post again: first, a basic "by the numbers" reflection on the previous posts; second, a fundamental assessment of where we are and where we might be heading in a "sort-of" macro sense.

Right now there are some technical gremlins that need to be sorted out before any further posts can be made - it seems like someone has hijacked investstorm.blogspot.com.  Not sure if another blog publisher needs to be found; trying to find out what's happened to Blogger and blogspot.com.
