A Good Start

The week is off to a good start as the Dow and NASDAQ both post gains of about 1/2 of a percent. There doesn't seem to be any particular reason for the upswing, other than a slight drop in the price of oil. Don't expect that to last, though. As Americans gear up for family vacations, prices will surely rise again. Plan your trip around the pump. Go to http://wwwfuelmeup.com for the lowest prices wherever you are headed. MCI shareholders met today, and 30% protested the Verizon purchase. I guess that means the 70% group wins (for now).
