Monday Randomosity

  • New year, and new girlfriends for Hef. LOL.  These are the twins.  Yes, indeed.
  • Check out the market internals from today.  More advancers than decliners.  Just saying.  We don't like to see the market go down, but if the majority of stocks are advancing even though the indexes aren't, is it horrible technically?
  • Remember the last couple of years, I laughed at those worried about inflation. Even the Fed members who were yapping their mouths about inflation.  They were wrong.  Now, the Fed is really trying to grease the skids of this economy.  And Obama will do the same.  So is now the time to start anticipating an inflationary economy down the road?  Probably.  That's my guess.  May not show up for a bit, but these guys are trying to get this thing going again.
  • Could be the next bubble is in Treasuries.  Anyone want to buy long-dated Treasuries here?  C'mon.  No way. 
  • The folks who want to inject even more government regulation (”read interference”) into your life insist that the wheels have fallen off the economy because of too little government regulation over the past three decades. Wrong.  From Orange Punch.  Click the link to read the crazy numbers of regulations George Bush has added during his terms.
  • Add a $175 tax per dairy cows to fight global warming?  Those alarmists have crazy covered!
  • Where did you come from?  Where did you go?  Where did you come from, Cotton-eyed Joe?
  • I've had my iPhone for about 2 months now.  I've added about 6-pages worth of apps.  The new-ness of it all has worn off, but I love this phone.  Can't imagine going back to the "old way."  I don't search blogs and the app store much these days, but did see that Craigslist has an app out now.
