What the Market Giveth, the Market Also Taketh Away

Today's events have unfolded slowly, and painfully for the majority of our investors and loyal fans.

The day began with strong gains for Charlie and Sam, but really just for Charlie. He was up ENORMOUSLY. Sam said, "No, I was up around .5%." (Charlie was up 1.7% at one point.)

Mike was unable to capitalize on this morning's boom. His portfolio has suffered today, as has Marvin's, despite some early gains.

Newcomer Lily Roberts entered the fray hoping to emulate mother Meg Roberts's strategy. Execution was poor; her downfall proved to be purchasing stocks, a stupid move her mother refuses to make. The Blog would like to highlight her choice of Harley Davidson as one of those stocks. The Blog's official stance on this purchase: interesting.

The Turtle has weathered today's storm, thus far. He has transformed himself into a tortoise, slowly and steadily heading towards first place. But in order to do so, he'll have to surpass Meg "The Rock" Roberts! The Blog believes this Rolling Stone is gathering no loss.

Will the Hares catch the Tortoise? Will "The Rock" continue to roll towards victory? Will Lily ride her chopper to success? Will Marvin live up to his name? Finally, and most importantly, can The Blog continue to churn out such a brilliant mix of metaphore, simile, allusion and platitudes!? The pundits say "NO" but the unbiased Blog says, "Yes, yes, yes!"

The suspense is almost unBEARable! Get it?

So stay tuned avid readers, because we'll be back soon and the answers to your questions lie just around the bend...


Today's endorsements:

Charlie: Kevin Federline
Sam: Abigail Breslin
Meg: Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, etc.
Mike: Robert Downey Jr.
Lily: Arnold Schwarzenagger
Steven: Jerry Ferrara
Marvin: Marvin the Martian***

*** We looked to get Marvin Schwartz's endorsement for Marvin. However, he refused. Mr. Schwartz would like it to be made abundantly clear that he does not endorse or support the Marvin of this game in any way, shape or form.
