TGIF Randoms

  • It's a friday, the market volatility of options expiration week just a memory as we tack on more gains. The SP500 is less than 10 points away from an ALL TIME RECORD HIGH!  Of course, if you are watching CNBC then that information is being pounded into your head.  But if Erin Burnett is doing the pounding, I suppose we'll give her a pass.  (Erin Burnett, dancing, cheerleader, panties, stripping, smoking, naked, nude, topless).
  • Meanwhile, in West Sacramento the effort continues to drive the whales from the port back to the San Francisco Bay.  News 10 in Sac has your local coverage and some video.
  • Speaking of CNBC babes, has Melissa Lee been cast out into the field as a researcher?  Haven't seen much of her behind.  Er, behind the anchor desk, that is.
  • Small caps not so hot lately, eh?  I wonder about the strength in the DOW and if it is hinting that we're late in the game.  Plus the crazy volatility this week.
  • Good news for college grads, as they're entering the best job market in yearsCompanies are scrambling to get the best and brightest. Employers are dangling perks such as signing bonuses and flat-screen TVs to woo this year's college graduates.  Signs of a tight labor market.
  • Dennis Miller (on the radio) talking about his hair plug procedure mentions that he walks into the office, and Asian girls prick small holes in his scalp.  Before Miller can continue with the story, he is immediately interrupted by sidekick Sal who asks, "Oooh, does that cost extra?"  Good radio show, btw.
  • On the MP3 player?  Scorpions, "Still Loving You."  Power rock ballad, baby.  Whatever happened to them?  Wait.  Quick google search...  Heck, they have a new album.  Who knew?
