It’s time to buy.
Apple ($96.80)
Google ($332.00)
Expedia ($11.81)
The New York Times ($13.60)
Let’s say that we buy $25.00 of each one of them.
Total investment: $100.000 USD.
Next week, I’ll tell you how much money we made (or lost).
AP reports:
“The White House meeting lasted about a half-hour, less than scheduled.”
So, not too much to say or discuss.
Just a few minutes to shake hands, say hello, speak to the press, smile, take pictures and … leave.
A surreal time!

Andrew Sullivan’s impression after the second McCain-Obama TV debate:
This was, I think, a mauling: a devastating and possibly electorally fatal debate for McCain. Even on Russia, he sounded a little out of it. I’ve watched a lot of debates and participated in many. I love debate and was trained as a boy in the British system to be a debater. I debated dozens of times at Oxford. All I can say is that, simply on terms of substance, clarity, empathy, style and authority, this has not just been an Obama victory. It has been a wipe-out. It has been about as big a wipe-out as I can remember in a presidential debate. It reminds me of the 1992 Clinton-Perot-Bush debate. I don’t really see how the McCain campaign survives this.
Or, as Roger Simon said, McCain loses by not winning.

Sometimes, newspapers aim for poetry instead of using the right words.
While The New York Post makes poetry (FEAR), La Tribune in Paris and La Vanguardia in Barcelona use the right word: PANIC.
