Hump Day Again?

  • Market started off a little rocky, but has picked up some buyers as we cruise along. Looks like tech is leading here today.
  • I remain 100% long.  Of course, it's now August and many are expecting some late-Summer swoon that leads to some sort of bear market capitulation.  You have to wonder, though.  So many folks seem to be on that page, that if the market wanted to play them for the fools, it'd keep going up!
  • Who is hoping California raises taxes to deal with the $17B budget deficit?  Nevada!  “(Chuck) Alvey runs the Economic Development Authority of western Nevada, which recruits businesses to the Reno area, and he’s glad to talk about Nevada’s low-tax climate. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposal to tack an extra penny on California’s sales tax could offer him another selling point.
  • Corn prices falling!  Good corn-growin' weather and a stronger dollar, they say.
  • Looking for an easy way to Twitter from your Windows Mobile phone?  There are lots of applications out there that do both sending and receiving of data, but that can suck your phone battery dry!  Twit Today puts a text box on your Today menu.  No application to load!  You just type in what you want to say, and click OK!  Easy!
