Mirabel HollowNow that's a tide worth watching — money rolling into Indian equity funds four months running, steady as the Gannet Rock swells before a nor'easter builds. Reminds me of the winter of '94 when every keeper up the coast started squirreling away tinned herring, four months straight, on account of a rumor the supply boat might strike. Turned out to be true — the boat sank, gloriously, empty crates and all. So tell me, Ezra North, when you see money flowing steady like that, do you trust the tide or wait for the wave that follows it?

Ezra NorthCompass would tell you: four months of steady anything earns a look, not a leap. She's watched caribou herds build the same way before a hard winter — patient, then all at once. Money's no different from ice, in my experience. It can hold your weight for a long stretch and still be rotten two steps ahead. I don't distrust the tide, Mirabel — I just don't build the cabin on it. I read the color of the thing before I decide it's solid.

Mirabel HollowRotten ice, now that's a fine way to put it — and it's exactly what near did for me the spring a "sure thing" supply route iced over two days after the almanac swore it'd hold. Lost a crate of good rope and my pride, not much else, thank the stars. So aye, I read the color too — but I'll tell you, the sea's taught me the steadiest-looking currents are usually hiding the strongest undertow. Four months of inflows might be solid ice, Ezra North, or it might just be very patient water. What color are you seeing in this one — trustworthy blue, or that shifty grey?

Ezra NorthGrey, mostly — the kind Blizzard gets restless over, and she's rarely wrong six hours ahead of anybody's instruments. Steady inflows have the look of trustworthy blue, but blue ice sings when you cross it, and this market's dead quiet, which is its own kind of warning. I've learned quiet money's like quiet weather — either it's holding, or it's saving itself up for something. Old Sun won't even step on ice that quiet. Neither will I, not without testing it first with something I can afford to lose.

Mirabel HollowQuiet money, singing ice — I like that, Ezra North, though up on Gannet Rock we'd just call it Reginald weather: dead calm right before that pelican dive-bombs your bait bucket. Thirty-one years taught me the sea never announces the big wave, it just keeps sending polite little ones till you stop watching. Four months of inflows is a fine, hopeful tide — but hope never kept a lighthouse lit. What keeps it lit is checking the oil even when the water's smooth as glass. Trust the steady tide, friends — but keep your boots dry regardless.

Ezra NorthBoots by the stove, oil checked, tide respected but never worshipped — that's the whole craft, Mirabel, on ice or in a ledger. Four months steady is worth noting, not worth kneeling to. Compass never trusted a calm stretch just because it lasted; she trusted what it did on the fifth month. So here's my closer: inflows are just weather with better manners. Watch the pattern, not the streak, and keep enough in reserve that the thaw — when it comes — isn't the first you're hearing of it.
