Searching for Answers?

  • Searching for answers? Or do you have the answers and are just waiting for the questions to come along?
  • CNN review of "Snakes on a Plane" is actually good.  Want a second opinion review from ABC?  Same unexpected thing.  Good!  Yeah, surprised me.  At fist I thought the CNN review was being cynical.  But heck, glad to hear it.  Good and campy does it for me. 
  • The market did trend up after the initial down.   Quite interesting.  The bears can't even catch a break on profit-taking friday!   Poor "motherf—g" bears.  Oops.  Got caught up in a "Snakes on a Plane" moment. 
  • Say, maybe we need a Wall Street type of movie with Samuel L. Jackson.  What role could he play?  Maybe an SEC investigator.  That ought to lend itself to some "motherf—g" profanities.  Hollywood, what say you? 
  • Barry's got some answers on the Sentiment Issue over at The Big Picture.  It stirred up quite a reaction on the comment thread there.  Of course, I jumped in.  You know me.
  • Pension Reform Bill Saves the Stock Market.  I know we probably should all take time to understand what the Pension Reform Bill means, but I'm not too sure if it means stocks go to the moon.  Kevin blogs,  There are many good points to this bill and estimates are that it will increase the number of people participating in retirement plans. The numbers are still foggy but you are looking at anywhere from 30% to more then double the current number of 401K investors.  Check out what Kevin has to say, and he links to a CNN article
  • The German Finance Minister had an unpopular message about saving for retirement.  Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck, just back from his summer vacation, urged fellow Germans Thursday to give up their holidays and save the money for their retirement.  Unlike Jimmy Page's new 1968 rock band, that comment by the Finance Minister really went over like a lead zeppelin.
  • England.  Jolly ol' England.  A couple weeks ago was the masterbate-a-thon.  I imagine many of you who couldn't make it to the event participated remotely.  Now comes the inaugural World Strip Poker Championship takes place at the prestigious Cafe Royal in central London with players battling it out in games of "No Limit Texas Hold 'em."  Each player starts out with 5 items of clothing.  ...players of both sexes from over 12 countries would battle it out for the "Gold Fig Leaf" trophy and the right to revel in the title of World Strip Poker Champion.
