Is the dollar due for further decline?

In Friday's WSJ, Mark Gongloff writes that based on an analysis of the US Current Account Deficit and net private capital flows, it appears the dollar is due for further decline.

We'll see what happens, but based on this, ECON 101 tells me that stocks will continue to "appreciate" nominally while in currency valuation terms, they will remain steady (or even decline slightly).

Top-Tier Business Schools join the Yellow Ribbon Program!

An article from this week's Business Week magazine:

Among the top business schools participating in the program are: Harvard Business School(Harvard MBA Profile), Columbia Business School (Columbia MBA Profile), University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School (Wharton MBA Profile), Stanford Graduate School of Business(Stanford MBA Profile), and Duke University's Fuqua School of Business (Fuqua MBA Profile). These institutions have committed anywhere from $3,000 to $17,500 per student in Yellow Ribbon funds each year, depending on the school, according to the VA's list of participating schools on its Web site.

This is excellent news and will surely have many more military veterans considering an MBA!

CyFi Wireless Bike Speaker


Another thing I gotta have for the ride! CyFi has these for bluetooth enabled phones and also makes a model for the iPod crowd.


Would you ride this bike? 2.6 pound frame!


When you see a frame like this, it makes you wonder whether it's the person riding the bike or the bike itself that wins the race... Delta 7 Sports will sell you this beauty for a cool $6,000; hopefully you have the right wheels, gears, cranks, etc to go with it.

It's looks like someone figured out a use for those water bottles (Brooks' Green Silence)!


In February 2010, Brooks Running is coming out with a new shoe that utilizes 70% recycled materials. It is called Green Silence. All kinds of recycled stuff goes in to these shoes, like CDs, water bottles and tires!
