The market up just a smidge here on Halloween. You'd think with all the sugar folks are consuming, we'd see some wild swings from highs to lows! $$
The End of October
- They were saying this morning on bubble vision that this has been the worst October since 1987. Yikes.
- Month-end means 401k adds to whatever folks are dollar-cost-averaging into these days. Does the coffee can buried in the back yard qualify for your 401k program?
- Hopefully, folks are staying the course. But I get the feeling that many have been diverting money out of equities and into something safer. Bad timing? Probably. But that's what they do.
The Sounds of Silence
- Lowest watched World Series in TV history.
- And as Joe Biden knows, the last time TV viewership was that low was when FDR was going on TV in 1929 or 1933 to tell folks about the economy.
- Yo Joe, FDR couldn't complete with the 1929 MTV top Dixieland hits, babe.
Candy at the Ready
- Candy as in sweets, not as in the stripper at the local club!
- The strategy tonight is to hand out the crappy candy first, and hope that the kids call it a night before I have to open the Baby Ruths. Those are mine!
- Making a lunch run to the local Hooters for lunch. I'll snap some low-res pics with the phone if they're willing. I imagine they're dressed up today. And if not, at least they'll be dressed up as Hooters waitresses!
Again from the cellphone. Using my bluetooth keyboard and PocketHTMLNet to attempt to create some sort of formatting...
