Carnoustie

I am really looking forward to this weekend's British Open Golf Championship at Carnoustie. I read a hole-to-hole description of the course in last Sunday's Barron's. Looks really tough. I suggest checking out Sportsline's golf coverage if you have interest - it's pretty good. I'd like to hear from others if there is a better place to get up to date information on the tournament (even a video feed would be cool). Prediction? I'd like to see Adam Scott come through. He's due for a win. However, Tiger is always in the hunt as we well know.

SIRI/XMSR Merger (cont'd)

Well, there seems to be more and more people endorsing the SIRI/XMSR merger. Again, I never understood how they could get it passed, but my bet is on Mel Karmazin. I figured Mel must have known something we didn't. Long 5,000 shares of SIRI, so I hope it pays off.

NewsGroper

I love the whole fake Steve Jobs blog, and this company Newsgroper may have legs. The whole blogging/comedy thing could be interesting. There's some funny stuff on Newsgroper, and I suggest checking it out. Enjoy!

YHOO Quarterly results

Looks like Yahoo! put up some pretty weak profits, as well as a weak forecast. Wall Street hates weak forecasts. The stock will probably take a hit. if it gets oversold, I may think about buying some. They just are getting crushed by Google. But, then again, who isn't? I hope they Jerry Yang can turn it around and make a run at Google - would be great for the industry.

Radio Silence

Sorry to my readers for my silence. I have been traveling and working non-stop. Will be writing a lot now to catch up.
