We need a spark

It’s been a while that I bogged. Life is great except the market.
The market behaves so strange that no one has a clue.
I am hoping that after the Memorial Day, the market will be on the rise.

My wife and I had busy weekends. It’s great to have her here. We went to Jasper on a long weekend and it was great. We get to enjoy the mountains the fresh air.
My wife is such a lovely lady. She laughs a lot and makes your day brighter.

The market had been pretty crazy. I just don’t know what to expect.

- SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea reportedly tested two more short-range missiles Tuesday, a day after detonating a nuclear bomb underground, pushing the regime further into a confrontation with world powers despite the threat of U.N. action.
Two missiles — one ground-to-air, the other ground-to-ship — with a range of about 80 miles (130 kilometers) were test-fired from an east coast launchpad, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported, citing an unidentified government official.

- YANGON, Myanmar – Myanmar pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi told a court Tuesday that although she gave "temporary shelter" to an uninvited American earlier this month, she had not violated her house arrest and was merely trying to shield the man and her security guards from punishment.
Testifying for the first time in the case, Suu Kyi appeared frail and pale but managed an occasional smile. A judge questioned her for less than half an hour about John W. Yettaw, who swam uninvited to her lakeside house.
