Wednesday's Quick Hits


 
  • Is that the SP500 back at the previous highs already?

  • Just one survivor at the West Virginia mine. What a tragedy.

  • The Black Box had a sell on Gold last night, FWIW.  Doesn't seem that obvious, because if the Fed is (almost) done, then you'd think a weaker dollar is coming.  But who am I to argue with the Black Box?  I don't own any gold.

  • Diet fads cycle back and forth.  Here's a study showing that women who ate a low-fat diet lost weightPost-menopausal women who cut their fat intake and eat more high-fiber, high-carbohydrate foods such as fruits and whole grains tend to lose weight, not gain it as some diet books claim, a study said on Tuesday.   Not a shocker.  It's all about total calories consumed.  There isn't a magic formula of "eat all you want of XXXX and never gain a pound."

  • What a game last night for Penn St.

  • I think Texas plus the points tonight could be a winner. USC is an incredible team, but looking at how the Pac-10 is doing and some of the teams that put up a battle against the Trojans (like Notre Dame), I'm wondering if the Trojans might have some trouble with the Longhorns.  Texas did beat Ohio St.  Should be interesting!
