They're in the Kill Zone
- Game Five tonight! Can the Spurs beat the Lakers in LA? I think LA knows that the Spurs are a dangerous team. Don't yield an inch. Send 'em home.
- Whatever it takes to keep the Laker Girls dancing.
Market Anticipates Lakers Going to Finals
- Meanwhile, the stock market is reacting favorably to something. Surely, oil going up or oil going down should get some of the credit. But today, we've received the news that the fear of recession was exaggerated. 1st-quarter GDP was revised upward to .9%. I don't think we'll see 2nd-quarter GDP go negative, either.
- While the economy has been sluggish, the stock market has reflected that and should now anticipate faster growth ahead in the 2nd half of 2008 and 2009.
- Yahoo Finance is giving falling crude prices partial credit.
- CNBC chimed in this morning saying "Sell in May but Don't Go Away." I think we hear every year that this will be the year that the seasonal-thing doesn't play out. I'm not sure what Bubblevision was implying, because I hopped in the shower after the teaser and before the story. Maybe someone who watched can chime in in the comments or on voice mail!
Don't Miss Your Free Throws
- Nanny Goats in Panties on Timeshares. Great story, and IMHO, I think timeshares are a scam. (Found her via the Sacramento Top 25).
- Hillary lists non-assassination reasons to keep running. LOL.
- If you're a video game fan, Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) coming out in June. The 12th? I believe one can buy the new Playstation 3 bundled with MGS4. I was thinking about getting a Blu-ray player, and since the PS3 plays those, why not? (I currently own the LOSER Toshiba HD format, HD DVD).
