DOW’n The Drain

Today the Dow Jones Industrial Average sunk 300 points at the end of the trading day. It hasn’t done anything like this since last year around this same time. Money experts are telling investors, “stop being such pessimists!”

The looming negativity in America when it comes to finance is said to be the main reason for today’s plunge. People are scared they’re gonna lose all their money for whatever reason it may be. Investors decided today was the day to sell off as much stock they could afford to before tomorrow.

Regardless of today’s sudden pull back, the DOW is still better off than it was two years ago, currently resting at 12,290, as opposed to 8,000.

I’m not shook. I see this as an opportunity to keep an eye on which stocks are sinking to a new floor, and to buy, buy, buy. That’s the name of the game, buy low, sell high.


Kevin McHale Rockets New Coach

Kevin McHale just got hired as the Houston Rockets new head coach. This is a pretty big step for both the Rockets and McHale because McHale has yet to coach a NBA team for an entire season. The only thing I gotta say is, No Yao!

This is good because the Rockets need a new start. We’ve been tinkering around with the same jacked up situation trying to form a team around Yao Ming. At this point, any change would be greatly appreciated, as long as they get Yao the fuck outta town.

I hope Kevin McHale can bring the winning spirit back to the Rockets franchise and lead us to a championship. We can’t say he sucks at coaching, because the little substitute coaching he did in Minnesota was not a failure.

Let’s go Rockets!


Shaq Retired

After 19 seasons, Shaq retired today … via Twitter! Somebody please tell me no one else has quit their job via social network. Shaq, you the man for announcing one of life’s biggest decisions in the most casual way possible.

Shaq did his thing in the NBA though. He won four championships, one with Miami and three with the Lakers. You have to expect to see him in the Hall of Fame.

I was always a fan of Shaq, even when he played for the Lakers, and all through his crazy times in Miami. He had a few controversial stories rise about his life off the court within the last five years, but he’s still one of the greatest.

Good job Shaq. Your presence will be missed on the court.
