“Rise of the Planet of the Apes” movie was pretty good time for $11
I think Charleston Heston will like the prequel of the series of movies that he starred in back in the 70s. The “Rise if the Planet of the Apes” had some very dramatic moments and poignant acting on threw part of both the main protagonist and some extreme moments from the supplemental characters. I do believe the romance in the movie was a bit out of place and seemed jammed in somehow.

Wow! the US is still the richest country on earth
Have you ever had a day or two when you didn’t watch TV or ready a newspaper and someone mentions something to you that makes you go “Was I in a bubble, I haven’t heard that?”… Well, that happened to me this weekend.

After all, think about it in the US where the top 400 richest people have the wealth of 100 million at […]
Financial markets more grim than ever
I can’t remember which one means the stock market is moving upward – bull or bear! But I think with what happened yesterday on Wall Street the only thing to describe is a bullishly bare street. 512 points lost in a single day is something they say is apocalyptic right? But what do I know. Who knows… maybe all this stuff will serve to deteriorate so much wealth sitting on the sideline that the companies sitting on $2.5 trillion dollars of on-hand cash will start to do something with it. But at least today Friday saw a little improvement in […]
