- Hey, what a Fantastic Finish in the market today. Amazing how the market zags instead of zigs. I was thinking with the open and meandering mid-day, we were going to see some quick profit taking into the close. Instead, the bulls put on quite a show to finish things off. Hello, random walk...
- Jessica Alba was born in 1981 in Pomona, CA.
- More info on the Apple iPhone from Barrons. Says that the buyer will have to have an iTunes account for the thing to work, and the $500-600 price must include a 2-yr contract that could run up to $100 a month; or nearly $3000 for the 2-yr life of the phone.
- From Crossing Wall Street, today was the market's best day in nearly a year.
- How movie theaters make money. They're in the snacks business! “Owners joke about being in the candy business. If you didn’t have concessions at a movie theater, there would be no movie theater. We have movies just to get people in to buy popcorn and candy, where we make our money.”
- The Paycheck Guy is retiring. Today is his last day. I thought he had retired earlier, but apparantly he moved on to something else, somewhere else.
- The movie Into the Blue with Jessica Alba was watchable. Well, she WAS in a bikini for a lot of the movie. That helped.
- KLo says the economy is moving faster than most realize.
- Closing comments by the Fly, with a special message to the bears...
- Howard Lindzon says it's time to jump into Facebook. You know, I did. And LinkedIn, too. I searched for college and high school friends, and found not a single one. Then I looked for former coworkers, and while some of the companies had folks registered, they were all very young. I doubt many over 35 even know what these "social networks" are.
- Today's market close is dedicated to the Invisible Woman Jessica Alba (swimsuit, bikini, spandex, nude, naked, topless, panties, smoking, stripping) for her role in Fantastic Four. Hat tip to Adam Warner for the idea in the comments.
