- As I type and if the SP500 closed RIGHT HERE we'd have an all-time closing high on the SP500. I'm away from the television, so I don't know if CNBC's Erin Burnett has her SP500 1528 party hat on or if she's taken off her top or some other way to celebrate. But I have to give kudos to those folks who have remained steadfastly bullish for this whole leg up. Market timing is a miserable tool when the market goes up day after day after day after day. Buying, holding and whale watching is the way to make money in this market.
- Lots of TV season finales this week. Heroes. Lost. American Idol. 24. Veronica Mars (Sorry, no Kristen Bell pic today. But proper search engine protocol here: Nude. Naked. Showering. Cheerleader. Panties. Uniform. Costume. Lingerie. Smoking. Topless. Upskirt. Up skirt.) I have the DVR set, and will be multi-tasking by watching some shows live.
- Speaking of whale watching, I went to the port in West Sacramento saturday and checked out the whales. Seeing them on TV is one thing. Watching them frolic around right in front of you is another. Quite amazing to see them surface, blow out their blowholes, and head back down. Quite a cast of characters down there watching them. Lots of families. Some bringing lawn chairs, ice coolers and making a day of it. Me? I lasted about 20 minutes.
- The new Michael Moore film is out. I guess it criticizes US health care. If there's any guy who's going to need health care in his future, it's Michael Moore. Big fella. A lifetime of overeating and lack of exercise may lead to all kinds of chronic conditions, Mikie.
- Larry Kudlow (KLo): It Pays to Stay in School. ...within our historically low 4.5 percent unemployment rate, there’s a 7.5 percent unemployment rate for those with less than a high-school diploma; a 4.5 percent rate for high-school grads, and a mere 1.8 percent rate for those with college degrees or better. Americans who don’t finish high school earn roughly $429 a week. Individuals finishing high school pocket $602 a week. Americans with a bachelor’s degree or higher take home $1,030 a week.
- Mucking around with my blog template, and you can get a preview over at The Learning Curve, Too. Let me know what you think in the comments. Should I ditch this two-column format and move to the three-column style? Also added some widgets there from Twitter. Check it out and let me know.
