S&P 500 at 1065. Yow!
A little investment blather as the market makes even higher highs for the year.

See the chart below... the spread between junk bonds and treasuries is at the same level as before the market crash of Sep/Oct last year. This means people aren't afraid of the planet going out of business any more. This is good.


Some of the financial blogs I troll have a decidedly bearish tilt. Cough. Here's a funny exchange I grabbed where a chap named "Sol" seems to lost a chunk of change shorting this bull market. Funny.

A little tech aside... the hottest book this year is "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. I can't for the life of me figure out why he didn't just call his new book "The DaVinci Code 2" or something equally obvious. Anyway, the interesting techie thing is that, on Amazon, the Kindle version is outselling the hardcopy version (source). Another gray hair just popped out of my skull. He he.
