Zzzzzzzzzzzz ...

A rare event just occurred. I woke up at dawn, not predawn at 4AM. My dog, Sky, licked my face to wake me up. I guess the cold medicine made me oversleep. I probably needed the extra sleep as I am still a bit sick.

    Can anyone doubt that larry Kudlow is a bombastic idiot ?

    He's bloviating about a stronger doller ... and how can one suport the dollar ?

    Only two ways: raise interest rates or get economy moving again. Euro is strong - does he want Fed to follow ECB ?

    What a fool !

    I wonder who has considered that the Federal & State governments have collected billions in taxes paid on phony Madoff profits ?

    if union pensions funds got taken by Madoff, I think he won't last the year.

    Cramer is not my hero.

    He agrees with me a lot now, since I think his minions read my blog & pass it on to him.

    800K jobs lost is not bullish.

    But I don't think it matters a lot now (to stocks) - a big loss is expected, and has been expected since October.
