Roll Call: The sick edition
I have been fighting an annoying cold that is my chest, throat and sinuses. I am really pissed becasue I take very good care of myself and to make matters worse there is a going away party tonight for some friends of mine. That being said. Here we go.
The first link I would like to address is the Ask Curbed: Is There a 'Frenzy' in the Market? entry.
My Dead Cat Bounce entry has tapped into the anxiety of where this market is going. What I am really happy about is that we are having a discussion over the situation. Even though it has become quite heated and there have been some bumps bruises in the process, even for yours truly.
Below is a press release from Kelly Kreth. I wonder if MANAR and REBNY get along? Who has more pull?
