What? Murmuration?
Yes, it means the synchronous movement of living beings to move in the same direction or change direction in a way that’s faster than one could communicate even when far apart. In Portland we see the phenomenon at Chapman school each year as the Vaux’s swifts entertain with their swooping and turning and then disappear for the night down the tall chimney.
Recently James Dines has written of murmuration:
Dines headlines his just-published 2012 annual forecast issue “The Coming Worldwide Murmurations”.
He argues—as he has long done—that markets, and even social movements, are substantially driven by similar, little-understood principles of collective dynamics.
He thinks that these movements may be driven by fiat currencies and my be responsible for “Arab Springs,” possible revolution in China and even the U.S.!

A 24-hour cold spell brought snow and rain to the Sahara Desert in western Algeria.

Does this go in my (gasp) global warming file?

Two weeks ago on January 9 - Gold closed at $1607.50 down $8.60 and Silver closed at $28.76 up 11 cents. Today Gold closed at $1666.80 +$10.10 and Silver closed at $32.11 +$1.47.

In two weeks Gold has moved +3.7% and Silver has moved +11.6%! For Silver that’s 301% annualized. At that rate Silver could be be approaching $100 by year end. Stranger things have happened. (No guarantee of course!)
