The importance of being CLEAR...


Diet is over.  I lost a few pounds but the goal of cutting a perfect Angelina Jolie silhouette remains elusive.  Although, while she's HOT (and I covet her man), why does she act so strange at the Oscars?  Yes, the bizarre 'bossy hooker' pose she struck on stage this year, but remember when she open- mouth kissed her brother in 2000?   Whatever - she is with Brat Pitt - she can do no wrong.  


Diet behind me, indulge I did last night. I stayed out way too late!  Speaking of partying, remember my post 'Make it rain'?  It was my explanation of the US Fed.  They are the guys who say how the US will be spending (or not spending)!  I likened them to the dudes in the club saying 'make it rain.'


Now some people are starting to worry the party is getting out of control and want the Fed to tighten things up.  Indeed all that money they are throwing around isn’t free and can't go on forever.  The argument being that the economy is picking up and we should start sobering up. Otherwise, we could face inflation problems.  Rising prices when a lot of people are still struggling financially is not a good predicament.  Well, the jury is still out and Wednesday Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke was noticeably a bit vague.


And markets appreciate an unclear Fed about as much as we enjoy mixed signals from our boyfriend.  On that note, I'll finish up here.  I'm sorry if I'm a bit vague myself today.  It was a late night!
