The stock market, Nicolas Cage, $AAPL and the Los Angeles Dodgers are all under a bit of scrutiny as I peruse the headlines…
- US Economy in Rough Patch with bad weather, Japan and high oil prices. Well, of those I think the oil prices are the biggest impact here. Gasoline prices affect most Americans as they need the fuel to get from here to there. When you think about it, oil shock has been in front of recessions. So let’s hope that we can somehow avoid it this time.
- Japan dealing with power shortages. (Yikes, and that’s not all, right?) Due to damage to plants operated by Tepco and Tohoku Electric Power Co., Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry is planning to impose a conservation directive for large-lot utility users of around 25%, and 15% for households this summer.
- Well, Nicolas Cage doesn’t appear to be watching for the MACD crossover Seasonal Spring sell signal. "(Cage) and his wife (Alice Kim) were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting," Flot said in the statement. "She disagreed and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address." The actor then began striking cars and tried to get into a taxi cab, Flot said.
- Apple stock seems stuck, right? Weighed down by questions, they say.
- The Los Angeles Dodgers lost their fifth straight yesterday to the Cardinals. "It's not pressure, but you definitely want to be the guy that can get your team out of it and stops the bleeding," Kershaw said. "Unfortunately, I just kind of kept it going." Yeah, well. $119 on the internet MLB.tv package WASTED! Darn Bums.
