    Things are turning bullish.

    Baloney. Watch what happens with Dow 12k and below. Massive redemptions with penalties.....massive moves into money market instruments. Boomers-in-panic. They don't want to retire to Tennessee tar paper shacks.

    How to improve Java app efficiencies?

    The Surf Report

    The thing about "Surf" is that he is so much like Doug Kass of SeaBreeze Partners who took a tremendous hit in P&L as well as self-esteem in late 2006, early 2007. It was almost embarassing to watch him on CNBC and take all of that "ribbing". But ! Look at him now. He stuck to his story. His...

    Things are turning bullish.

    "C" wave correction - always wild and wooley, but never lasts....2 weeks sounds like a "stretch". US Dollar continues to plummet. All of that Chinese "stuff" and Indian services we buy is about to become much more expensive.
