NASDAQ nearing 5,000.

S&P over 2,000.

And President Obama takes out 20 ISIS fighters in northern Iraq. At least that's what I heard on the radio earlier today. Twenty (20) ISIS fighters.

*********************************

Nomination for most bizarre headline over at Yahoo!Finance: Ten cheap energy stocks that could soar up to 202%. The precision is quite remarkable: 202%. Not 199% or 204% but right at 202%. These numbers are almost as precise as the global warming numbers which suggest the ocean will rise 0.01 inch per decade and the global temperature -- if they massage the data just right -- will rise 1.68 degrees over one century -- that's in centigrade. It sounds even worse if the numbers are in Fahrenheit. Sort of like environmentalists measuring oil spills in gallons rather than barrels. But back to the linked investment story: my own calculations suggest three of the named companies could soar 201.67% +/- 0.02%.
