Markets and stuff: go here to Random Roger for a good analysis for living. This is one of the best sites on the web; he's successful; been successful for a long time; and he really knows his shit. We have a regional Fed guy (Fisher) who runs off at the mouth on CNBC every few months and when he does he moves markets, for a day. Look for a horrible jobs number this week, loss of at least 150K to 200K. Markets have already digested those, anything higher could cause real problems. And this little quote should get you over there:

I will call on Puru Saxena's nugget about per capita consumption of oil. US per capita consumption is about 25 barrels per year. China's and India's per capita consumption is less than one barrel. What do you think will happen to global demand for oil when their demand rises to 1.5 barrels per year?

This is a very good site. Scary, but good.
