I can't figure the f*ing stock market out. We get a shitty job number and unemployment is sticky at 9%. The G-20 can't figure out how to use the IMF or fund their bailout plans. MF Global lost clients' money, may have committed a crime, and will be a top 10 all time bankruptcy. Greece and Italy may dissolve their governments in days. And yet because Ireland may have a plan to save money and commodity prices are possibly up (which is not really a good thing for the consumer)... stocks are coming back and will most likely end the day up? Seriously?! Then there is Groupon whose IPO jumped 50% and is still up over 30% on the first day of trading. Groupon is a company that does not make money, in a space already being overrun by competitors, and supported by fickle consumers. And the stock is going up?!?! Are stock traders morons? I mean they have never been considered "smart money" but the moves over the last couple weeks is dumb.
Of course I am currently shaking my head over some folks who seem to have forgotten what their product is altogether. They make bacon. It is farm style and nothing fancy but it is pretty good. Instead of marketing the bacon, the powers that be are trotting out a whole pig complete w/ lipstick and a bow. Sure, the bacon is included but it gets lost in the pig's beautiful eyes...
Whatever, I guess I just don't get it.
