- I think all tuesdays will now be Tila Tequila Tuesdays. Until something else comes along.
- The stock market rallied on Tuesday, lifted by a drop in oil prices, several better-than-expected quarterly earnings reports, an increase in consumer confidence, and speculation that the latest capital raise from a major financial firm is a sign that the worst is over for Wall Street. As long as the "speculators" our on OUR side, we're okay with that, right?
- From Dr. Jeff, Government, Crises, and Time Frames. Ah, brings to mind the quote from President Ronald Reagan, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"
- In Sacramento, they're placing a measure on the November ballot to raise the sales tax to "wipe out gangs." Good luck with that one.
- Adam Warner on Amanda Drury, the VIX, and Dingos.
- 5.4 earthquake jolts Los Angeles.
- Picking winning lottery numbers: If it were that easy, everyone would be doing it! Even Tila Tequila!
- Why not place a measure on the November ballot to "make everyone filthy stinkin' rich?"
- I read the folks at Financial Sense to just to see what the doomsayers are up to. This week's column from Dr. Pete compares Obama to a poker player, and McCain to a craps player.
- I don't think any of us really believe the price of oil will continue to drop. Which is probably why it has. The ultimate contrarian play, the one nobody believes is possible.
- Well, there have been more bottom calls in this market than at SoCal beaches the past few months. Which proves that people may have lost their focus. Anyways, today was a strong day and it'll be interesting to see how tomorrow plays out with more economic numbers hitting. We're also about to enter the so-called "monthly strength" period where 401(k) dollars are averaged into mutual funds.
- I wonder if Tila Tequila is a dollar-cost average girl, or does she trade the MACD crossovers? Maybe she trades her own proprietary black box system. Did I really say that?
