- American Idol narrowed the field down to 12 last night. On the boys' side, no surprise that Peter Brady (Will Makar) was eliminated. When he had to perform the rendition of the song that got him eliminated, I was hoping he'd do the one from the Brady Bunch singing episode... "When your voice has changed, oh when your voice has changed..." Know what I mean? I'm surprised Chicken Little survived and that Gideon got voted off.
- On the woman's side, no surprise that Kinnik was eliminated. I thought Melissa was a little worse than Ayla, but neither of them were going to last long anyways.
- The market seems to be putting in a contra-friday. If the week has had a strong trend, fridays tend to move in the opposite direction. We've trended nothing but down this week, so maybe we're seeing some profit taking. It's up in the air whether we'll get an options week rally next week. I've positioned myself with some increased beta the last two days, adding semiconductors and small cap go-go's. We. Shall. See.
- How about those Syracuse Orangemen?
- Peter Brady sure looks a lot like Will Makar, don't you think?
- Some of the fallout from eliminating the UAE Dubai ports deal, is that they're (Dubai) now cancelling some contracts with US companies. Way to go. Now we're alienating what was one of our few friends over there. You wonder if we're just going to be in a perpetual state of war with the Arab world from here on out.
