A New Day

This dreary Monday is a welcome respite from the wild ride of Friday. Markets were a bit spooked by rising oil prices and a few sputters of lowered expectations last week, but they Markets were a bit calmer today. Blackberry users may be in for a jolt. The courts are threatening the legality of the patents on the technology. Some of my friends will be in shock... Oh, no, not my Blackberry!! The automakers are still pulling out all stops to halt the blood-letting. Ford is in the spotlight, as it announces layoffs. I'm pulling for them to pull it out. Meanwhile, it's nice to back in the green. Dow +21.38 NASDAQ +0.77 S&P 500 +2.33
