I am not making this up. Put my head down on pillow last night at 745 pm…and woke up at 630 am. I guess I am still on Europe time. I didn’t even get a chance to scan last night…but will start scanning in 5 minutes But really dont need to scan. The “forced: follow…
[email_link] We shall see…but I must tell you. Whenever a company hits the front cover, time to get the ears pinned back. But with LinkedIn, this is a newer company with an $11 billion market cap with about $600 million in sales…and trading over 200x earnings. We’ll be watching! LinkedIn’s chief executive, Jeff Weiner, doesn’t…
[email_link] PFGBest has frozen its customers’ accounts after an apparent suicide attempt by its owner Russell R.

During a debate on Europe’s crisis, Pedro Schwartz (a mild-mannered Spanish ‘Austrian’ economics professor) took on the heavyweight Paul ‘I…
Futures up as there was an announcement that they were going to be nicer to Spain with their loans or something like that. Hedge fund manager David Einhorn on CNBC touts AAPL…like it needs touting…so up another $3 on open. AAPL in 5th stage base…but rounding a nice cup going into next week’s earnings….
