...Bank stock bulls rest much of their case on the fact the write-offs at financial firms are slowing and the Fed is putting enough money into the credit system to restart the normal cycle of borrowing and lending. That may well be true. Those pushing bank stocks as a great investment would also say that, even though a stock like Citigroup (C) has had a great run, it is down 90% from its 52-week high.

Up there alongside Elvis Presley in Las Vegas, Michael Jackson is about to write a new chapter in entertainment folklore.”Beyond the predictable popstar hyperbole, the promotional material tries to show why literally the whole world will have some hyper-historical, folkloric obligation to paying attention. Anschutz Entertainment Group, who is responsible for this incorrigible (yet unsurprising) selling of Jackson?...
