Joseph Battipaglia, chief stock strategist at Ryan, Beck & Co [said], "Conditions continue to be supportive for stocks, with interest rates likely to remain low and the economy in the 30th month of a recovery."
Oh, yeah, it's been 30 months of nothing but up, up, up! You can't stop the recovery, you can only hope to contain it! Whooaaaaa!

They're recovering as consistently as a chain smoker quits.

"Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continue... AYYYYY!"

It is, as I understand it, one of those "recoveries" where all gains are made by shipping all the work off to cheaper locales. Thus most of the economic indicators look good but the people who lost their jobs aren't getting new ones, and most likely lots more people are *still* losing their jobs.

So it's a great time for the very wealthy, shitty for everyone else. The former is all that matters, right?

Current Music: Pink Floyd - Echoes

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but if you haven't seen this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125713/), do. It'll make Echoes make so much more sense. And it is about the closest I've got to tripping without taking any drugs whatsoever. (Actually you only need to see the last 25 mins to experience that...)

Always worth remembering that every boom has been different, and each has been the one that won't crash.

It seems a bit obscure. Netflix certainly doesn't have it...

I had no problems getting it from spamazon, it's not the most widely spread film, but the echoes sequence is absolutely fantastic.
