Tuesday Randomosity

  • President elect Obama names his energy team. Pictured.   LOL.  Maybe not.  The team includes Nobel-prize-winning physicist Steven Chu as Energy secretary and former Environmental Protection Agency head Carol Browner in a newly created position to coordinate energy and climate policy.
  • Maybe Steven Chu will be pro-active on nuclear power.
  • The case for bonds.  Investment-grade bonds, anyone?  Anyone?  Buehler?
  • Does Toyota want GM to be saved?  An interesting take. 
  • I don't want GM to go under.  I can't see how they can continue to operate as they've been, losing billions a month.  But I'd like to see them stay around.  Maybe they could build some natural gas cars.  Just a thought.
  • Downloaded slydial for the iPhone.  Can leave a message for any cellphone, rather than dialing and risking talking to an actual person.  Very handy when you want to give a message, but don't feel like having a conversation.  LOL.
  • Chrysler has a plan to beat the Chevy Volt, in the battle of electric cars.  I hope the plan includes building nuclear power plants because those cars are going to need a lot of electricity to charge those batteries.
  • Is the Santa Claus Rally just a bunch of nonsense?  From Mark Hulbert.
