Asian Stocks Soar! Kristof Still Sober




Kristof is always worth reading. His piece today starts this blog, just because I don't know how to place it correctly.

His is a downer, but the rest of the news today is great.

OK it started with the housing report yesterday.

To my way of thinking it was the Geithner interview with Katie Couric last night which told me that the markets would be ok today. He's getting his mojo! Instead of looking weak he's looking shrewd. His thin, bent frame adds to the mystique. Let's face it. He has the best minds behind him, including his own mind.

So today is so important to the world. G-20 looks good!

Then there is the sterling job Obama is doing wherever he goes and he says the world will be united at G-20 today! And Michelle. There is hope in the world!

Then today the FASB is going to issue amendments to Rule 157 to relax mark-to-market regulations. "Back into the tent. Same game!" (see joke at end of this blog).

Back into the market for me at the open. As per prior blog, being labelled a "pattern day-trader" I was forced to put up a total of $25,000 or retreat from the trading field. Results since opening account February 17th: -$344) A once-in-a-decade day is coming today!






Joke:

Setting: Memorial Day party of the poker
crowd:

"Dad, can seven-year old girls get
pregnant?"

"No dear."

"OK kids, back in the tent. Same
game!"
