Evening all.

Have done very little research up to this point, but do tend to concur with TP. Still not sure the US has made enough headway to confirm the break of the flag, but some "goodbye Ronnie" feelgood stuff tomorrow may well see the job done.

Currently carrying longs on JKX and AZM. Got a couple of other targets to hit early tomorrow if I see any follow-through. However, Monday is never my best day and got a couple of things to sort out so might not be as active.

Have a good week.
