- Just when we thought the market would never go down again... It went down! The blame goes to a "generally unimpressive batch of economic data." LOL. Well, have had quite a run and any excuse for a breather, right? Even after the morning dive, the market climbed it's way back up the rest of the day before falling in the last hour. Nothing to dislike. Expect a rest at some time. We're also near the end of the monthly strength period, so the 401(k) adds are done for now.
- I remain long, overweighted in the NDX and small caps. It's been a nice run.
- (I'm getting use to the newer versions of Windows Office software and the iPhone automatically capitalizing the first word in sentences. Good Lord.)
- Euna Lee, Laura Ling, and Lana Lang released from North Korea. Er, okay, not really Lana Lang. That'd be Kristin Kreuk and I have no idea if she's anywhere near North Korea. But if she is, I hope President Clinton goes over there and gets her out, too. And speaking of, I have the Legend of Chun-Li DVD from Netflix. I know it probably is horrible, but with Kristin and Moon Bloodgood, I figurd I HAD to give it a spin.
- I do think Laura and Euna coming home is good news, by the way. I didn't want that to get lost in the shuffle of me making an excuse to put up a pic of Kristin Kreuk.
- Negotiations over extending cash for clunkers program stalls in the Senate. You know, people seem to like this program. What's a few billion more in debt at this point? It's is eventually going to turn into an episode of The Cleaner, where the addict will be forced to give up the junk. At some point Akani (Grace Park) is coming over to tie you up.
- Cisco earnings fall 46% but beat expectations. LOL. Who cares what their earnings are, as long as they can beat a low-ball estimate?
- A 53-year-old man who told police he is secretly engaged to marry Miley Cyrus has been charged with attempting to stalk the teenage "Hannah Montana" star... Good grief.
- Man, work is reallllly busy. One sign the economy is recovering despite the bad news in the rear-view mirror.
