BMB Note:
Didn’t the Dow bounce like 90 points in the last half-hour…? Not like that’s anything new or anything. Same ol’ crap.
Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately, but to be honest, the financial scene just hasn’t been able to keep my interest of late. Matter of fact, it’s been boring me terribly. Seems like the little news I read is the same stuff, over and over: Greece/Europe is fixed – AGAIN (no it isn’t, yes it is), housing/the economy/the job market is improving (no it isn’t, yes it is), governments continue deficit spending (yes they do, yes they do), and central banks threaten us with catastrophe, then proceed to print money until the world runs out of trees. Oh, and just buy gold cuz it will save you from all of the above.
Whatever. Maybe my interest will return someday – and maybe not. In the meantime, I’ll be keeping myself busy with other things, so don’t expect the pace here to pick up anytime real soon.
