A Rainy Friday

We decided against a trip to the beach this weekend. The rain started about noon and has not let up. The weatherman is even predicting snow flurries... here, in Mississippi! It's been a strange winter, and it's not over yet. The warmer temps of January meant a lower gas bill for consumers, a welcome relief. Oil prices even dipped a little today. Markets responded positively, gaining from 1/4 to 1/3% on the day. One of my favorite all-time movie characters, Inspector Clouseau, has been revived. I'm anxious to see the new Pink Panther. This should help Sony's stock. All in all, a good week in the market. Dow +35.70 NASDAQ +6.01 S&P 500 +3.21
