  • Learning Curve favorite Grace Park for Friday!
  • The market has had just an amazingly volatile week. Welcome to the People's Republic of America.  Basically, it looks as if the government is going to bail out "financial companies gone wild" with something near $500B to $1T of YOUR cash.  I'd think that this will hamper the government's ability to spend much money on new programs in the years ahead.
  • But the stock market was up huge again.  If one is waiting for an IBD confirmation day 4-10 days after Thursday's gains, it might be a little frustrating on the sidelines.
  • So, at 0-2, all of my Fantasy Football running backs are questionable this weekend with gimpy hamstrings and toes.  Good grief.  First Tom Brady goes down.  Then my backup (Houston's Matt Shaub) has a Hurricane Bye Week and I'm stuck with Miami's Chad Pennington from the waiver wires.  (Might as well just not even start a QB).  It's as if my fantasy team needs a Fed bailout.  Just horrible.
