- Another fun day at the markets. The most frustrating position for those watching the daily ticks has to the buy and hold strategy. The market really hasn't done anything since November but trade back and forth, while cash is "trucking along" at 5% annually. Short-term trading has had hits and misses, but the dangers of being whipsawed in this channeling market have got to be increasing the blood pressures there. Today, the market ramped up quickly and then sank on the fears that the Fed may continue their hawkish tone when they meet tomorrow. Stay tuned!
- On The Apprentice last night, Marissa reminded me of one of my coworkers. I like to call him One Track Charlie. He'll come up with an idea, and it'll be his only idea for months.

- Going to a Farmers Market in January is a glass-half empty experience. What kind of produce is available in January? Not much. Oranges. "We got yer oranges here." And not too many of those, due to the cold weather. Some beyond-their-prime apples. Squash. Mushrooms.
