SubscribeMarketMash: Long week is over, short week to profit
May 24, 2008
Last week saw a good deal of action in the markets. The bad news is that even as we were excited to enter the long weekend and the Hamptons are starting to see more life and less clothes (so I am told). The bad news is starting to sink-in and the simple fact that the oil price “blip” is not such a “blip” is upsetting investors. If that wasn’t bad enough, the weekend BBQ now costs a gonsa-fortune! We stopped on the side of the road to pick up some watermelon and were shocked when we realized that it was $9 for ONE! So, one rib, on wing and one peach is all you get in 2008 for what is costs for an entire plateful in 2007. BBQ inflation now….. eeesh….
Sure I was busy, but promised to put down my trusty MacBook laptop for the majority of hours each day and enjoy my family at my lakehouse in Central Florida. A good idea and very worth while. Check out this magical picture of the morning sunrise on the lake and tell me if even the bloggiest of bloggers (Tim, Bill, Felix or Barry) could resist the opportunity to unplug and relax to feel the soft white sand under their pedal extremities.
My son Brett was riding the waves, daughter Lauren rode on the screamer and my wife Jill was taking care of us all. A wonderful weekend, refreshing and relaxing. Thanks for listening. :-)
Anyway, here is a recap of some of the week’s goodies that Read more

MarketMash: Bloggin’ for Money

Our friend Brian Shannon over at ALPHATRENDS is having a bit of trouble with Big Brother. It seems that Google has shut down his website as one of their robots deemed it to be a spam site. I recall something like this happening in a movie once…Remember?
It was some time the future and John Conner was running from The Terminator. Robots had taken over the world and their job was to exterminate all life-forms. Good news it is not that bad yet here, but until it gets sorted out, visit Brian at http://www.squeezeshorts.blogspot.com/

In a turn around, or at least a slight change of direction, Jim Cramer recommends a sell of Capital One Financial (COF) a day after he says it has not been too bad of a stock. Errrrr, I think that is what he is saying at least.

April 11: Sell Capital One
