- Is that the SP500 back at the previous highs already?
- Just one survivor at the West Virginia mine. What a tragedy.
- The Black Box had a sell on Gold last night, FWIW. Doesn't seem that obvious, because if the Fed is (almost) done, then you'd think a weaker dollar is coming. But who am I to argue with the Black Box? I don't own any gold.
- Diet fads cycle back and forth. Here's a study showing that women who ate a low-fat diet lost weight. Post-menopausal women who cut their fat intake and eat more high-fiber, high-carbohydrate foods such as fruits and whole grains tend to lose weight, not gain it as some diet books claim, a study said on Tuesday. Not a shocker. It's all about total calories consumed. There isn't a magic formula of "eat all you want of XXXX and never gain a pound."
- What a game last night for Penn St.
- I think Texas plus the points tonight could be a winner. USC is an incredible team, but looking at how the Pac-10 is doing and some of the teams that put up a battle against the Trojans (like Notre Dame), I'm wondering if the Trojans might have some trouble with the Longhorns. Texas did beat Ohio St. Should be interesting!
