i think rosie is worth an investment, she's so hot



even this book would recommend an allocation to Odonnell:



also, i hear this bird is a hot commodity in the pet trade:



thanks for the insightful post [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Barron

PS- sorry, couldn't help it

PPS- fishhead shoudl chime in about iowa and corn right about now (unless he fears the recession will push demand and oil prices down and thsu hurt his precious iowa farmland earlier than expected). further, copper and other industrial and used-in-home-building commodities should be slipping a bit as expectations of future construction fall as a result of the subprime mess.

liquidity in this cash strained environemnt should also hurt gold a bit (as it did yesterday), though i'm not certain about that at all

Is that bird's color real or is it the modifications from some American company?

Nat gas has been hot for the last three days, but has had a tough summer.

Crude has been cold.

FCOJ has been volatile.

Check bloomberg.

Default Highest Volatility

Lately the equity derivatives have demonstrated record volatilities.

The energy markets traded on NYMEX have also enjoyed great volatility.

The volatility in interest rates/bonds seems to be picking up.
