Down and Dirty with Durian

Baby T loves eating durian, and although I hate to admit it, I do too. Durian is a tropical fruit which has a peculiar odor and taste. Wikipedia gets it just about right: "Some Westerners say the experience of eating the durian is 'like eating custard in a public lavatory.'" The fruit also has the shape and consistency of a small brain, which is appropriate since you have to crack open a spiky skull-sized shell to get at it. Yummy!

Light Sweet Crude and the Energy SPDR

You can see that the Energy SPDR has returned to the highs set earlier this month, but it hasn't really busted through yet. The lead and lag between Crude and the XLE is worth watching (it helps to plot them in the same window, one on top of the other, during the trading day).
