    Where is the poll about whether the S&P is going to break 1000 today (closing)? I know it will bring back memories of the Obama Portfolio that many played short and are now homeless. But really, that will bring more traffic in this desperate day.

    In a fit of desperation, Greg and EP put their heads together and came up with…….this?
    At least the prize is commensurate with the post.
    On the other hand, owing to the “best reader entry before 5pm ET” clause, and considering the precipitous fall off of reader comments that tends to coincide with the absence of Bess, I’ll likely have no worse than a 1 in 30 chance.

    67,
    Thank you for inquiring. I’ve been away from the States these past few months, as Daddy’s taken us to Macau in order to overwrite some securities and stuff. Things have been so stressful and sad. I purchased the new 5.0 V8 Range Rover, and it was cheaper than last year’s model! Ick. I hate underpaying. Beyond that, things have been okay. It’s good to see that after my father fired his caddy, Larry landed on his feet in the beltway.
    Hopefully more to come! I miss you guys a real lot.
