Play the game for more than you can afford to lose… only then will you learn the game.–Winston Churchill
The Dow tagged 11,000 yesterday albeit for a moment and the Hellenic two step continues. Some feel that Greece will now be fine, but I just get flashbacks of Alan Schwartz, CEO of Bear Stearns telling us that there was no counter party risk and capital was abundant at Bear Sterns. Three days later Bear was bankrupt. You can see that gem of an interview right here. Wait, I think Booyah boy told as Bear was a screaming buy too. Oh, the halcyon days of fear and deleveraging. My point is that no one knows and if they tell you so, run fast.
Apple and Google have gone to the advertising mattresses and Apple announced the ability to run two apps at the same time on your iPhone. I don’t know about you , but that just made my year. I now Velcro my iPhone to my forehead, wear my iPod as a necklace and duct tape my iPad and MacBook Air to my Kevlar vest. It’s bulky, but practical and I’m always connected.
The last time the S&P dropped by 1% in a single session was on Feb,23. You have to go back to May 2007 to find another occasion in which the S&P 500 index went this many sessions in a row without dropping at least 1% in any given session. Just sayin.
