- I bought my first ebook on $AMZN for the $AAPL iPhone Kindle application. You buy it from Amazon's website, and when you run the iPhone Kindle app, the book shows up via Amazon's Whispernet. The reader seems to work just like other readers I've tried. The cool thing is not having to transfer the ebook to the iPhone. It's just there when you turn it on. Plus, Amazon's book library is pretty extensive. Also seems like Amazon pricing is better than the other ebook vendors I've used.
- It's a winner. Like Freida Pinto. And thank goodness it is Friday. It's been a long week.
- The market is tanking as I contemplate what to have for lunch. Maybe rice and beans. No, that may be coming later for all of us. When the futures were up this morning, I could almost sense the false optimism on CNBC. As if even though the futures were up, just give it time. The sellers were still hitting their snooze buttons. Once they got up, the selling commenced.
- Looks like the Nasdaq is catching up after a few months of outperforming. I think I need air quotes around "outperforming." Right?
- The Japanese Tokyo stock price index (TOPIX) is at a 25-year low. Nice.
- $GM at lowest price in 75 years. Nice.
- The job market is nearing 1982 levels. The government’s broadest measure of unemployment and underemploymentwas 14.8 percent in February. That includes some of the people who havestopped looking for work because they don’t believe they can find jobs.It also includes part-time workers who want to be working full time. Nice.
- The anatomy of a natural gas spike. Interesting.
- Why Wal-mart is surging.
