오른손의 좋은 세상만들기

Crude Oil이 완전 투기장이네요. 정치와 종교가 mix되서 완전 개판이 되어가고 있네요. 하루가 멀다하고 오른다 내린다, 올랐다 내렸다, 재고가 많다 적다, 공급이 많다 적다로 일희일비하는 모습입니다. 여름 휴가까지는 지금 수준보다 오르기 어렵다고 판단하고 있고, 여름이 지나면 이란에서 나오는 공급초과가 시장을 더 자극할수도 있을것 같습니다. 미국 이자율 올라 달러가 강세로 간다는 것도 Crude Oil이 내려갈 요인이지요.

월스트리트 저널에 보면 Oil 뉴스만 모아놓은 곳이 있는데 제목만 봐도 가관입니다. 올랐다 내렸다, 장난치냐.

센서 성능이 캐논 기종과 비교하면 정말 넘사벽이네요. DxOMark 센서성능으로는 캐논 Full Frame(FF)도 바를 기세네요. 니콘이 카메라는 잘 만드는데, 다른게 좀 떨어지네요. 고집좀 일찍 버렸으면 대성했을텐데.
