Most markets are now open. Australia is the laggard today just slightly. China is having a good day. Shanghai up 2% to start the day.

    2:18 a.m. on 11/11/2014. Japan and Jakarta are the ones mostly pulling the Asian train today. Sydney is down, I see.

    11:00 a.m. on 11th November: World War I armistice. 1918.

    Earlier today I watched some of the ceremony held in Canberra Australia. Simple but nicely done.

    World War 1 ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. According to the speech, Australia lost 120,000 men. RIP.

    My grandad was decorated in the Meuse-Argonne campaign. Came from Ireland, next thing you know, he's in uniform. The Australians (and NZ?) took the most losses at Galipoli, too. Watching that series I linked to above, I learned that EVERY SINGLE soldier from Newfoundland was lost. It was not yet a Canadian province.

    That's sad Max. It gives one pause to ponder it.
