Blame Today on Greece, Not Wes Welker

Back to your regular program today: Blame the market jitters on Greece! But how bad was today? The market broke down at the open, but then spent the rest of the day trending upwards and closing near flat. Heck, I was watching SPY at the close and it even flickered green a bit!

After a huge week and a huge Friday, the market held up well today.

Meanwhile, everyone is looking at Greece to cut spending and such. You know the drill. Talks were suspended on Monday, and scheduled to resume on Tuesday. I wonder what would happen if Greece actually got their act together and a final deal was announced? Imagine that news flow out of the picture. We could actually move on to something like "War with Iran" worries or something!

The New York Giants Win!

The Giants beat the Patriots, and the Super Bowl indicator suggests 2012 will be a good year for the stock market!

The Super Bowl was a great game today. Wes Welker gets the blame for missing a tough catch, but if the Patriots would have won with that last drive, Ahmad Bradshaw would have received the blame for not kneeling down at the 1-yard line. The game was that close. Twitter says that if the teams played a rematch, the Patriots would be favored by 2.5.

The commercials were so-so. The halftime show was lip-synched. And who wants to discuss the hygiene issues with the Super Bowl trophy as it was slobbered all over on the way up to the stage?

Now back to the important things. The stock market is on a nice run. Mitt Romney is on the way to the GOP nomination. The Lakers still haven't traded for Dwight Howard. Spring training opens up in a few weeks with pitchers and catchers reporting.

On with the show!
