JP Morgan and Citi are being accused of being complicit in the Lehman collapse this morning, Ernst & Young is also being mentioned because of some possible funky accounting. The Enron scandal put Arthur Anderson out of business if you recall. I don’t think this one is even close, but it’s interesting water cooler fodder on a slow data day.
You can order the iPad online today starting at 8am and AAPL stock is up again in the pre market. I say AAPL should go strait to $500 just so we can get it over with.
We have a look at retail sales this morning and Michigan confidence will also be released at 9:55.
Good luck today.
