Sun Fires, Argonauts Hire

  • Sun is laying off 4000 folks. They say this is 11% of their workforce. Man, I thought they were already down to something like 27 people after the dot-com crash.  I guess I had that wrong.  They have tons of folks.  Sun plans to sell its Newark, Calif., campus and exit leased facilities in Sunnyvale, Calif.  Paul Kedrosky over at Infectious Greed says "Not Enough."
  • Liberal Larry at BlameBush has a movie review up on Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.  Hillarious.  Automobiles. Electricity. Indoor plumbing. Private ownership of property. Steady employment. Food. Americans have selfishly enjoyed such extravagances for decades, and the environment has suffered for it. Now, Mother Nature is beginning to strike back.
  • Random Roger on the slippage of Powershares' PZJ exchange traded fund.  I've noticed this with a few of their ETFs.  I like their strategies and ETFs, but the volume on many of these things is pretty light. 

  • Yeah, so Ricky Williams is going to play for the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL this year.  $240K contract.  Joe Theismann slams the Argonauts for signing him.  Here's a photo gallery of Ricky Williams at his first practice. Ricky sporting a new hair style for the CFL. More sleek. Very Howie Mandel. Deal!
  • A list of Dividend ETFs from The Real Returns.  For those interested.
