- Earnings season! Alcoa tonight! Woot! Perhaps the NY Yankees wanted to be home for that!
- Erin said this morning that the top 3 companies by market cap are Exxon-Mobil, GE and Microsoft. Google comes in at #10! Not bad for a nifty search engine!
- Although did you see the search commercial for Ask last night during, uh... Monday Night Football?
- I still don't know who is clicking on internet ads or why they're valued so. But some interesting things going on in the world of site hits and clicks. Barry Ritholtz has more
- Speaking of Monday Night Football.... HOO. What a finish. Bills fell apart there right at the end. Although, Dallas did a good job of falling apart during most of the game. It was one of those games where you knew if there was enough time on the clock, Dallas would eventually start scoring. And if you were cheering on the Bills, you had to want that clock to keep moving and end the game; just get off the field with a win before Dallas woke up! Well... The kick is up, and the kick is good!
- CNBC is touting their broadcasting of the Republican debate scheduled for tonight! The only thing interesting about this is that Fred Thompson will be making his debate debut, and the focus of the debate will be on the economy. The economy has been growing and the SP500 is at or near record highs. I don't think a recession is on the near horizon. So it'll be interesting because there are always segments of the population that are not faring well. Michigan happens to have the highest unemployment rate in the union running at just over 7%. So while it's tempting for most of us to be high-fiving each other over our economic good fortune in recent years, there is more despair in the air up there.
