re: getting in ahead of result?
what planet you on then buddy...not the same one I am on I am for sure...and your use of the present 'continuous' tense with "depleting" means yes it hasn't depleted but is in fact that it is depleting every day...continually.
I prefer to use the present perfect tense, to detail that by the time I have finished this note stocks will have decreaded further to near five year lows and that by the time you read this in the present, I have no doubt you will have missed the boat.
