A Long Two Weeks

It's been a long two weeks, braving a hurricane, then dealing with the effects of this monster storm. All is quiet at my house now. Those on the Coast are beginning to take stock, and, thankfully, progress is being made in getting aid to these people. Michael Brown of FEMA was called back to Washington today. It was time for a new face to head this crisis. Markets continue to do well, despite the catastrophe. Texas Instruments gave Wall Street a boost today with its good report. Tech still seems to be the place to be, but, surprisingly, it was the broader S&P 500 that (percentage-wise) stole the show today. Dow +82.63 NASDAQ +9.48 S&P 500 +9.81 I plan to put my feet up this weekend and do as little as possible. Have a good weekend!
