- Remeber Richard Hatch? He was the first Survivor winner, back on the island. Sentenced to over 4 years for tax evasion. I suppose this should be filed under "Render unto Caesar..."
- Not much to say about the market. I remain in low-beta holdings, a small position in oil, and some cash. I think the seasonality or election year correction stuff is here and taking the market down. I don't think the market will move in a straight line down, but I'm not that eager to try and catch the little bounces. I think a better and more obvious buying point will come along sometime, and I'd rather save the beta-playing for then. My Black Box gave a wink to MSFT last night, but I'm not taking any flyers on it at this point. Of course, it was right about AMGN last week...
- For more cereal box covers, keep an eye on Adam's Daily Options Report. I forgot about Quisp. I think the nastiest thing about those cereals is what they do to the color of the milk. Looks like something straight out of Monty Burns' "nukular" power plant!
- What did you think of the Paul Rodgers and Jimmy Page band "The Firm?" Kind of a flop, no? (I've got "Satisfaction Guaranteed" playing on my MP3 player as I type. That one wasn't too bad.)
- More Michelle Malkin up at Vent, with a video of her having a phone call with Karl Rove. She's pretty witty. Well, pretty and witty.
- (Uh oh, this is when the liberal readers of my blog send me angry emails for "shilling" for Malkin. For you, I'll ask if you've had a chance to read Larry Kudlow's take on "Rove on the Bush Economy." Check it out, friends! And update your blog subscriptions with KLo's new URL!)
- Did you know the SMH (semiconductors ETF) was down 10% from its 52-week high? Holy mackeral. When it moves, it moves fast!
