Hmmm.

Hmmm. One of the companies I still have a few shares of just got awarded a 20 million contract to help the military track assets. They don't describe the technology precisely, but one can infer what they're doing nonetheless. FedEx can tell you pretty much where on the planet your box of guitars is sitting. Well, ok, most of the time. The government wants to do the same with bullets and body bags. Everything will get a tracking number and scanned at every stop of the way to its destination.

No that's not relevant to anything, I just thought it was interesting. More fun to think about than whether or not I'll sell any guitars today.

Anybody still own any consumer stocks? Well ,yeah I have a couple. Hope I can get rid of them while there's still some optimism for an economic aid package - and before earnings come in. Oh yeah, that's like next week...
