just got turned on to the inbetweeners sort of a british freaks & geeks with a bit of peep show thrown in for good measure.

Calls to the restaurant confirm that unfortunately located but ultimately charming restaurant Centovini will close after three years on West Houston. Centered on a expansive wine collection and Italian small plates, Centovini is owned by the founder of neighboring store and design inspiration Moss—which is why many passersby may have confused it for a furniture store—and the owners of I Trulli on East 27th. Though it indeed won some design awards, was frequented be celebs here and there, and earned some positive reviews from the press—Bruni had a love/hate relationship with the place—it just wasn't in the cards. A rep says they will close after service on Saturday night.

Maybe I should make an economic page so I don't clutter up this one? In any case, I think this article from Bloomberg last year is an important history lesson: Bond Vigilantes Who Gave Bush a Pass May Ambush Obama or McCain.
To come back to the present week: Auction Results: Less Than Festive. I know the equity markets are way up, with the Dow, Nasdaq, and the S&P all threatening to break through important resistance levels - but it just can't last. Eventually I'll be right! :-)
"You mean to tell me that the success of the economic program and my re-election hinges on the Federal Reserve and a bunch of fucking bond traders?'' Clinton raged at aides....Yes Mr. President, yes it does.

Jim I dont know where our just for fun exchange is where I said AAPL $150 by June, well I was a month off:>)......I found this one from a year ago
Damn, Apple (aapl) is getting hammered after hours (down 11.2% to $147.98 right now.) They reported earnings today. Looked good to me, but I guess Wall St. didn't like their guidance for next quarter. If I believed in the market at all and had extra cash I would be buying in the morning.

$200 buy 2009, $300 by 2011
- Skinny 7-22-2008 9:40 am [edit]
I don't know about $300 - that would be an insane market cap. But I could imagine $200 in 2009 no problem (assuming the market doesn't collapse as a whole, and that Steve Jobs stays healthy - some pretty big assumptions.) I see Notebook and iPhone(/iPod) market share driving the increase. $152.31 right now.

Steve just has to be careful not to fuck up.
- mark 7-22-2008 11:17 am
Ouch. I don't see it happening to aapl though, unless it's just following the whole market down.
Apple doesn't have a juggernaut of a competitor like Intel, and their hit products (iPods/iPhone) aren't just crap they got lucky with (Razr.)
Standard disclaimer applies: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Closed at $162. Should have jumped.
