Gabe Menezes, One death has already been reported in Toronto due to Frankenstorm Sandy. A woman was walking home when a sign blew off and fell on her head, last evening. This probably could not be avoided. As I watch Tv, I find it amazing that people do not heed the warnings from the authorities and actually go out to see what the storm is tossing around. I find this to be stupidity in its purest form as these people not only endanger themselves, but also expose the fire/rescue people to danger too. As you may know, the US stock markets have been closed for the past two days as, for some unknown reason, the US insists on maintaining "open cry" in its stock markets. Markets like Toronto, that only have electronic trading can and do remain open at all times. Interestingly, this gives those of us who can trade on the TSE a distinct advantage as one can still short US insurance stocks or the US index's today. For those interested, here is a photo essay, with captions, on how the storm is effecting me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45002663@N00/sets/72157631888334998/ Mervyn
