Hump Day Check


The DOW and S&P closed up today, strongly up we might add, +168 and +18 respectively. Before the jubilation commences, recall that most wise one's believe we are in a bear market rally. Don't get too attached yet.

Today I purchased a replacement window for this old house. The present windows, like just about everything else in the house, are a disaster. I think in the past it wasn't a matter of keeping cold air out, it was a matter of letting cold air in. These things are like sieves. They got to go.

Here's the deal. I bought a krypton filled energy saving window that has an "st" designation. That "st" stands for stimulus. This window will be tax deductible next April 15th. When I learned that, that's when the jubilation began.

So if you are going to replace any windows this year, make sure they are approved under the stimulus guidelines.
