I think it was on CNBC this morning that it was mentioned the stock market is down on inauguration day 72% of the time.
Check.
Financials down over 16% today. The market will have a tough time rallying if the financials are getting smoked. And they are getting smoked world-wide.
As a friend said in an email, "Today was a beating." Totally.
I watched some of the inauguration today (via iPhone). I know it's a big event, but I was looking for some real news somewhere, and that's been tough to find today.
The best thing about the inauguration is the picture of Obama's daughter Sasha giving him a thumbs up. And that's pictured! Great photo. "You did good, Dad."
$C closed at $2.80. WOW.
Fox is trying some new TV pilots. I'm scared to try any because the ones I've liked get canceled. (Uh, Journeyman.)
Are those women on Rock of Love (Bret Michaels) skanky or what? They look like burnt-out druggies to me. Bleh.
