Monday Sans Causality

Hey, what's going on?

My stock ticker isn't working!

Where is everyone?

What, the Marabunta don't pick up trash anymore?

Did they find Jimmy Hoffa!?

Is it 2012 already?

Anyway, 2011 is shaping up to be a banner bull year. The Janubowl predictor is left with four teams, only one of which is an original AFL team, and the key number for the DJIA to stay above for the January Barometer is 11,577.43.

Unless the fix is in, the ghost of Joe Nameth returns, and the Dow drops 200 points in 10 days, expect the free ride uptown to continue. Of course, if you normally apply any sort of logic or sound reasoning to market direction prediction, please disregard.
