Ok, I managed to squeak by with a win last week – as I predicted based on the matchups, it was my lowest scoring week of the year – just 99 points. But I made it to my Fantasy Football League’s playoffs undefeated at 12-0. Another tough test this week though, because both Reggie Bush [...]

Just kidding – I think! I saw a reference to Somali Pirates and CitiGroup in the Daily Reckoning today and couldn’t resist copying the concept here.

I don’t know what news people are seeing that encourages them to buy stocks. I meant to post this last night but didn’t get the time, so here goes. The DJIA went up over 500 points yesterday and I’ll be damned if I can figure out why. I kept an eye on the news headlines [...]

I knew the Vols were bad this year, that they have played some of the worst football I’ve ever seen from a major program, that their play calling on offense was horrid (Hey Fulmer – play Madden sometime!) but even I didn’t expect them to lose to a bad Wyoming team. At home. Here’s something [...]

I thought the headlines on Friday were interesting. There was ZERO good news about the economy, and all the economic and earnings reports were worse than expected. But the stock market went up. Makes no sense to me. Here are the top headlines from Reuters Business news as of 12:57pm (ET) yesterday. GM, Ford losses [...]
