- $AAPL iPhone shows 327% market share gain in third quarter. The iPhone has about 16% of the smartphone market share.
- So, the Chevy Volt will go 40 miles on a charge? That's if you remember to plug it in every night. I have a hard enough time remembering to plug in my iPhone and often wake up to a low battery. Imagine that with a Chevy Volt! And it's not like you can plug your car in to its cigarette lighter. After the charge wears off, the Volt will get about 50 mpg.
- Plus, it's a Chevy. Wouldn't you feel better buying this kind of technology from Toyota? Or just get a gas-burning Honda Civic for $16,000?
- Sad news. That rumored 4.5% interest rate for mortgages would only be for new home purchases. No refinancing your existing mortgage. I guess you could buy a new home down the street, maybe even the same model, and let the bank foreclose on your current home. Just thinking outside the box.
- Oil under $42 a barrel? Wowzers. Declining world demand, they say. But the freeway was sure crowded last night. Took me a long time to get to Hooters. Missed most of the first quarter!
- $GM cutting another 2000 workers. It doesn't matter if they go bankrupt or restructure under a government giveaway package, there will be job losses. Automakers just can't lose a billion a month and keep on truckin' along.
- If we're in a period of deflation, the next to go down are salaries, right?
