  1. Reading "Once in Golconda"... feels *perfect* for 2009, even if written in 1969.
  2. Good news, bad news. Up 12% in little trading account (+19% longs, -7% short). Wasted some good volatility.
  3. We have been Walgreens-only for a long time. Now, we're getting our first CVS. DW is going to freakout. Best blogs? http://iheartcvs.com/ ??
  4. Richard Russell, via Ritholtz.com, "I have never seen a bear market hit its low amid happy news headlines." http://tinyurl.com/5lqfrh
  5. ~7 hours into "The Snowball" Buffett audiobook... so far not much diff than Lowenstein's.
  6. Dude on Bloomberg radio the other morning says about mortgage rates could hit. 5%. Now WSJ says new a plan could encourage rates near 4.5?!?
  7. "They're cheap by the standards of a high-leverage, low-tax world. But..." http://tinyurl.com/6ycmjb
  8. UPS guy @ new warehouse with package for previous company. Says last 6 packages were moved / undeliverable. Yeow.
  9. Is the mainstream media too negative? Really? In 2007, was their reporting so negative that you were, like, totally prepared for 2008?
  10. The best no-nonsense financial tweeter I've found so far... pkedrosky.
  11. My post on BlackFriday looking better already http://tinyurl.com/6q5sdp
  12. Swedroe factoid: "Unemploy < 4.3%, stocks 2%. Unemploy > 6%, stocks 15%" http://tinyurl.com/6xsade
  13. Yay, Monday! Moving the online retail biz to a bigger warehouse. Like ditch-digging in Office Space, lifting heavy boxes is fun, sometimes.
  14. Surprised when people think every .gov program will add instant inflation. As if we do not have a credit crater. As if we have $ velocity.
  15. @ThatOneCaveman Caveman, you rule! We upgraded our DTV antenna to the DB4 and now we are getting the full range of local channels.
  16. Starting "The Snowball" Warren Buffett audiobook. 1 hour down. 36 to go!
  17. Boomers vs. everybody else will NOT be pretty. http://tinyurl.com/5tf6gx
  18. Bad logic, new vs used cars, via Mint.com. "Plus (new) will cost $1000s / year in gas, maintenance, and insurance." Used cars don't use gas?
  19. via Bloomberg radio... sick retailers to get life support pulled Jan. more: http://tinyurl.com/5lqhke
  20. Be careful pre-paying for private grade schools: http://tinyurl.com/5nupvl
