Kiss, hug and pat on the back Citi! Investors ate up the good news, sending financial stocks up and in turn the entir...

If I can’t be outside enjoying this beautiful day, well I’m gonna at least look at through the window in my office. There is nothing better than peering out your window to the outside sunny world. Nothing better except, well, actually being outside in that sunny world. Monday’s are always ha...

We’re so close…just..a..little…bit…further. The Dow almost hit 7000 today but lost it in the final moments of the trading day and closed about 125 points short. In any case, it was way up from yesterday’s disaster so that is something to smile about. Stocks finally moved higher today after...

After yesterday’s market went a little bonkers, I though it would chill out a bit today but it seems Wall Street is still hungover from last night’s (morning’s) party. Party’s over Dow, time to take off the pointy hat. I mean at least were only down 37 right? 37! It’s all relative. Becau...

I should of known today was going to be bad after I pressed snooze three times this morning. It was an inauspicious sign for the day, followed by spilled coffee in my lap while driving. If those incidents didn’t foreshadow today’s events accurately then the heavy rain all morning did. It truly w...

It seems bloggers had mixed feelings regarding President Obama’s speech last night. Some argued he was still to vague while others pointed out he is focusing on the right domestic issues. But the market had one feeling: down, down, down. This morning the DOW dropped almost 150 points only to recov...

This morning Bernanke told Congress the “recession might end this year” and that the banks may not be nationalized. The news brought relief to many investors worrying about the banking industry and helped lift the Dow and SP500 this morning from their Monday lows. Investors are also patiently aw...

A game of “Would you Rather” is about as iconic to juvenile parties as spin the bottle. While the usual questions involve picking to sever some limb or eat an grotesque item, what about a “Would you Rather” that pays homage to two institutions as iconic in American culture as the game itself...

I like to think that pictures that I upload from my camera on to my profile are still in fact my property. But last week, Facebook was trying to tell me something different, along with its 175 million other users. It was a change the average college-goer would of left unnoticed, for how often, if ev...

The stimulus bill has been signed. More importantly, will it work? Whether you like it or not, the main question now is how will it effect the country? There is no doubt it will, but to what extent its effects are felt at is the most pressing of questions. Some opponents are calling it a mini New D...
