Nothing is happening. Obama is still on a world tour. Does he ever do anything except bloviate? And rob bondholders?
Rio Tinto's trenches collapsed - that is, the scorched earth anti-takeover sale of core assets to Chinalco to defend against BHP cratered. Obviously RTP top management should be all fired.
It's still raining cabinet ministers in the UK.

Tomorrow is the 65th anniversary of D-Day. I read in Le Figaro and Le Monde that Obama will visit Normandy. Let's hope he makes a good speech. I wonder if he can approach the moving speech of Ronald Reagan in 1984?
The movie, THE LONGEST DAY [as corrected] is really good and quite authentic. I have read a lot of nonfiction history and can confirm its quality. Also, the movie follows the book by Cornelius Ryan quite closely, too. I'll watch the movie again tomorrow - yes, I have the DVD.
Mozillo charged with insider trading. Finally, a big shot might pay for his greed. What a hog at the trough !!!

Word of the Day
"Repristinate" - verb, transitive [$10]
Repristinate means to restore to an original state or condition.
Sentence: The investment strategy of the Obama Fund is that Battleship Ben plus Obama's weak stimulus plan will be able to repristinate the US economy. If so, large profits will ensue. So far, it's working.
Le Mot du Jour
"Ressentir" - transitive verb, conjugates like partir or sentir
Ressentir mand to feel, to experience, to be affected by.
La Phrase: Selon le sondage, 47% d'Américanes ressentent la sympathie pour la France maintenant. Peut-être, je suis à l'avant-guarde de nouveau intérêt à la langue française.
Sentence: According to the poll, 47% of Americans feel friendship for France now. Perhaps I am in the vanguard of new interest in the French language?
By the way, "la sympathie" means liking, friendship in this usage, not sympathy.

Jim Cramer: You Are Missing A Bull Market
Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money, says stocks are still headed higher.
“Say it with me, it’s a huge bull market rally,” Cramer bellowed on his show. “Any pullback will be a selloff in a bull market.”
Cramer blasts those who won’t climb aboard the bull.
“How much higher do stocks have to rally before the chorus of doomsayers and legions of negative Nancys admit that the move is for real?” he asks rhetorically.
“Let’s say the Dow Jones Average goes to 9500. How about if the S&P 500 goes up another 10 percent? Is that still a bear market rally?”
didnt he say 7 months ago that if u needed money in the next 5 yrs to sell and not get back in?
yes jim its still a bear market rally and u just proved it. u will be lamenting about drinking cheap whiskey on your tile floor, on the next down day.
he truly is a miracle. if it werent for toddo, berko, maria and insider info, he would more poor than me.
that hog needs to go to jail along with frank raines.
job losses lower than expected unemployement rate higher than expected. that makes as much sense to me as the fed selling and buying the 30 yr, in the same account.
i shud have gone to harvard. what is the class they teach there that suggests moving money from your right pocket to your left increases your net worth?
cramer bullish, toddo bearish. how does this story end, EVERY SINGLE TIME? well there was that one time 3/03, other than that, toddo is pitching a shutout.
LFT fire
