A BuzzzzY Monday

The markets ended slightly up today, but who cares? The Michael Jackson verdict is in! It seems all real news has stopped as we wait for this final chapter to enfold. I'm glued to the TV and web, along with everyone else. I admit it. I want him to be convicted, but I'm skeptical about the justice system when large amounts of cash are involved. Rather than jail, I think a proper punishment for Jackson would be to spend the last half of his life in poverty and obscurity. The markets? Oh, yeah... Dow +9.93 NASDAQ +5.96 S&P 500 +2.71 I'll be glad when this whole saga is over, and I can get back to the really important things in life... like stocks and bonds!
