Monday (sigh)

  • Yeah. Monday.  Didn't know what to expect after reading the fears and concerns vs. the large shouts of "buying opportunity!" over the weekend.  Even with the late-week action last week, the week was positive.  Normally, I'd say that options expirations weeks can be volatile, but with the action last week I think I'll just sit back and watch.  I remain long and didn't make any trades or re-positioning moves today.
  • Financial system in jeopardy!  Trying to break Ken Jennings' record.  Financial Sense with their normal gloom and doom scenario.  Always good to know the worst case scenario.
  • I tried to watch some pre-season NFL over the weekend.  The highlight had to be Daunte Culpepper floundering around for the Raiders.  Hey Al!  Sign me up for the minimum and I'll give it a try!  (Ah, bitter Dolphins fan.)
  • Adam Warner 'splains why the futes were up like crazy delicious, but the market inched ahead this morning.  The cool part was the heads-up from AW yesterday.  That way, we all got to watch it unfold.
  • By the way, have you stopped by Adam's Friendship Circle website to check out the charity event?  Every little bit makes a difference.
  • Karl Rove resigns at the end of August.  Yeah, but did he say August of what year?  Bwahahahaha.
  • Speaking of the Miami Dolphins, I noticed in the boxscore that Ronnie Brown had 8 carries for 8 yards.  Makes Edgerrin James look like a breakaway artist.  (Edge averaged 3.4 yds per carry last year for 'Zona).  Unless the NFL changes the rules to give teams 10 downs to make a first down, the Dolphins might need a "Plan B."  Ronnie Brown also had 1 reception for -1 yard.  He's a dangerous dual threat!  No doubt that kind of performance will force the defenses to be honest this season.
