Pre-Op Ex Wednesday Randomosity

  • What could be nicer than a little sellin' on the Wednesday pre-options week?
  • Getting the blame?  Yahoo Finance blames $124 oil that "touched off concerns that the stock market's recent gains might have been premature while consumers grapple with rising energy and food costs."
  • I haven't done any grappling today.  You?
  • Eh, the inflation crowd has been wrong.  The last core PCE number was 2%.  I know, they want to include food and energy.  Energy isn't as big a percentage of the economy anymore, and people make other food choices. 
  • Heck, Burger King has a Dollar Value Menu.  The Whopper Jr. is $1.  You don't have to buy the $2 soda.    So, for $1.08 (with CA tax) you can have a Whopper Jr. and a cup of water.  Without the mayo, that's 290 calories according to the nutritional propaganda.
  • Is it just me or do the Celtics look a little vulnerable?
  • Obama blasts Hillary in North Carolina.  Hillary squeezed out a close win in Indiana, thanks to Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos."  But Hillary remains in.  Merely a flesh wound, Hillary.  Keep going.  What the heck. 
  • The Kansas City Royals keep playing baseball, even though they have no chance of winning the American League.  I don't see why Hillary can't keep campaigning.  (She may want to put the Royals on the schedule).
  • I still like the financials.  Heck, Hank says the credit crisis may be "fading!"
